Identify and correct the errors in each of the following statements (assume that the state- ment using std::cout; is used):

Question

```
a) if (c < 7); {
cout << "c is less than 7\n";
}
b) if (c => 7) {
cout << "c is equal to or greater than 7\n";
}

```

Answer 1

a. Error: Semicolon after the right parenthesis of the condition in the if statement.
Correction: Remove the semicolon after the right parenthesis. [Note: The result of this error is that the output statement executes whether or not the condition in the if statement is true.] The semicolon after the right parenthesis is an empty statement that does nothing.
b. Error: The incorrect relational operator =>.
Correction: Change => to >=, and you may want to change “equal to or greater than”to “greater than or equal to” as well.
