Question 3. Question :

(TCO 5) A block of statements within the body of a FOR loop must be surrounded with _____.

Question 4. Question :

(TCO 5) What output will this set of statements produce?

int a = 1;

while (a < 1)

{

Console.Write("{0}\t", a);

a++;

}

Console.Write("{0}\t", a);

An infinite loop

An exception

1

1 1

Instructor Explanation: Because “a” will never be less than 1, the WHILE loop will not execute. The value of “a” will remain 1.

Question 5. Question :

(TCO 5) In this code, the inner FOR loop _____.

int i = 1, j = 1;

for (i = 1; i < 4; i++)

{

for (j = 1; j < 4; j++)

{

Console.Write("{0}{1} ", i, j);

}

}

contains a syntax error

is nested

is like a blue sky

is like a light

Instructor Explanation: The inner FOR is nested inside the outer FOR, so for every execution of the outer FOR, the inner FOR will execute three times.
