Question

Consider the following code:

n ← 4 x ← -2.5 IF(n < 3) DISPLAY("Team A") ELSE IF(n < 2) DISPLAY("Team B") ELSE IF(x > -2) DISPLAY("Team C") ELSE DISPLAY("Team D")

Which of the following is the output of the code?
1) Team A
2) Team B
3) Team C
4) Team D

Answer 1

The output of the code will be "Team D" because the values of 'n' and 'x' do not satisfy any of the IF or ELSE IF conditions, leading to the execution of the final ELSE block.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given code, variables n and x are assigned values 4 and -2.5, respectively. The output of the code will be "Team D" because the values of 'n' and 'x' do not satisfy any of the IF or ELSE IF conditions, leading to the execution of the final ELSE block.

The IF-ELSE structure checks the value of n first. Since n is not less than 3, the first IF condition fails, so the first ELSE IF block (which checks if n is less than 2) will not execute either. As a result, it continues to the second ELSE IF which checks the value of x. Since x is not greater than -2, this condition also fails. The code then executes the final ELSE block, which results in the output Team D.
