Question

Translate the following loop into C. Assume that the C-level integer

A) for (int i = 0; i < c; i++)
B) while (c > 0) { c--; }
C) do { c++; } while (c < 10);
D) int c = 0; if (c < 5) { c++; }

Answer 1

The question pertains to translating a given loop into C code. Option B is the correct C code loop that matches the pseudocode provided by decrementing the variable 'c' until it is no longer greater than zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves translating a given loop into C programming language. Out of the provided options, B) while (c > 0) { c--; } is an example of a while loop in C that executes as long as the condition c > 0 is True. As part of this loop's body, the value of c is decremented by one with each iteration until c is no longer greater than zero. The loop stops once c equals zero. Option C) is a do-while loop where c is incremented, but it will only stop when c reaches 10, which doesn't match with the provided pseudocode condition. Option D) demonstrates an initialization and a single if-statement, which doesn't represent a loop. Option A) is a for loop that runs as long as i is less than c, but it doesn't directly translate the loop properties from the pseudocode, as there is no reference to what happens inside the loop.
