Question

How many times will the following for loop iterate?
a. 16
b. 32
c. 6
d. 5

Answer 1

The loop will iterate 5 times. True always evaluates to boolean "true" and thus executes the loop body indefinitely. It's an idiom that you'll just get used to eventually.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loop will iterate 5 times. while True means loop forever. The while statement takes an expression and executes the loop body while the expression evaluates to (boolean) "true". True always evaluates to boolean "true" and thus executes the loop body indefinitely. It's an idiom that you'll just get used to eventually. The student is asking about a loop that increases according to different factors. The correct answer is d. 5 because the loop will increase by a factor of eight, starting from the original value. To find the original value of an amount before the percentage increase/decrease: Write the amount as a percentage of the original value.
