Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

Question

1. Using top-down, stepwise refinement properly results in pseudocode that can be
naturally evolved into a Visual Basic program.
2. Having many levels of nesting improves program readability.
3. The off-by-one syntax error is frequently caused by using an incorrect relational operator in a
loop’s condition.
4. Logic errors prevent a program from compiling successfully and can cause a running program
to produce incorrect results.
5. A While statement automatically increments a variable that a programmer specifies.

Answer 1

1. True.
2. False. Too many levels of nesting can make a program difficult to understand.
3. False. It’s a logic error, not a syntax error.
4. False. Logic errors do not prevent a program from compiling successfully (syntax errors do), but they can cause a running program to produce incorrect results.
5. False. The While statement does not automatically increment a value. It tests a condition and executes the body if the condition evaluates to true.
