,Debugging is the process of
a) compiling the source code.
b) publishing the source code to the client.
c) writing source code.
d) solving errors in the source code. - ANS d) solving errors in the source code.
The MAIN method tells the program where to begin running code as it is the entry or starting
point for the program.
true or false - ANS true
IDE stands for
a) Initial Degree Expectations
b) Integrated Development Environment
c) Intramural Department Executive - ANS b) Integrated Development Environment
What is the output of the following code?
BEGIN MAIN
int u = 3;
int v = 5;
u += v;
v += u;
3 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED.
, u -= v;
v -= u;
PRINT (u + ", " + v);
END MAIN
a) 5, 3
b) -5,-3
c) 3, 5
d) -5, 18 - ANS d) -5, 18
EXPLANATION
3 += 5 = 8(u) (3 + 5)
5 += 8 = 13(v) (5 + 8)
8 -= 13 = -5(u) (8 - 13)
13 -= -5 = 18(v) (13 - (-5))
so = -5, 18 is the final outcome
What would be the best datatype to represent product? A variable that stores information
about the number of items currently in stock in a grocery store.
a) double
b) int
c) float
d) String - ANS b) int
(number of items in the store is going to be a whole number)
