Question 1 — True/False 15)
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
1. A sentential value is a value that is not legitimate data value for a particular
problem, but it is proper type, that ts used to check for a ‘stopping value’
2 In cases where quite a number of files are used at different stages in the
program, it is very important to keep open all the files that are in use at all
times.
3 While solving a problem, two variables may have the same name.
4. Anelement in an array need not have an initial value
5. Indicate if the following statement is true of false
m+7>3*pwherem=4andp=5
6. The data type of the value returned by a function must be the same in all the
return statements when a function contains an if statement
In some cases, a loop control variable does not have to be initialized.
8 Indicate if the following statement ts true or false
a+t<> (a+b) * 4 where a=6,b=19 andt = 22
9 Intermediate variables may be used to assist with calculations.
10.When different operators are combined in one expression, all the
mathematical operators will be processed first, then the relational operators
and finally the logical operators
11 Its important to appreciate that each nested IF statement is designed to
eliminate the potential answers until there's only one result left
12. The position of an element in an array 1s called an index or a subscript
13 The way that data ts stored in a file determines the type of file it is
14 The key word “together”, in an arithmetic expression indicates that addition
will take place
15. The name of the value returned by the function need not be the same as in
the calling statement lorisis
