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?
Option 1: Team A
Option 2: Team B
Option 3: Team C
Option 4: Team D

Answer 1

After evaluating the conditions in the IF-ELSE statements with the current values of the variables, the code will output 'Team D' as none of the IF conditions are met.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the output of the given code, we need to evaluate the conditions in the IF-ELSE statements with the provided variable values:

• n is assigned the value of 4.
• x is assigned the value of -2.5.

The first IF statement checks if n < 3, which is not true since n is 4. Therefore, we go to the ELSE part, and the nested IF statement checks if n < 2, which is also not true. Moving on, the next nested IF statement checks if x > -2, which is false because x is -2.5. As a result, the code proceeds to the final ELSE part and displays "Team D".

Thus, the output of the code is:

Option 4: Team D
