Question

What is the error in the following pseudocode?

// This program uses an array to display five names.
Constant Integer SIZE = 5
Declare String names[SIZE] = "Meg", "Jack", "Steve", "Bill", "Lisa"
Declare Integer index
For index = 0 To SIZE
Display names[index]
End For

Answer 1

I do not know the answers sorryy

Answer 2

The error is that the For loop in the pseudocode iterates one too far, attempting to access an index out of the bounds of the array. The correct loop should iterate from 0 to SIZE - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error in the provided pseudocode is in the loop's range. The For loop is iterating from 0 to SIZE, which includes the index that is equal to 'SIZE'. However, arrays in programming typically use zero-based indexing, which means they start at 0 and go up to but do not include the length of the array, in this case, 'SIZE'.

The loop should therefore iterate from 0 to SIZE - 1. When the index reaches 'SIZE', it will be out of bounds of the array, resulting in an error. The correct loop would be: 'For index = 0 To SIZE - 1'.
