[Year 12 SofDev] SD VITTA exam 2, multichoice #1

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Mark,

 I have to agree.

Do ...... while ( x < 10 ) - post test.
Do ..... until   ( x  = 10 ) - post test
For  (count = 1; count < 10; count++)  ....... Next     -- pre test.
EOF is only a test that can occur pre or post loop.



 The answer should be C .

Regards
Kevork

I'm curious what others think...

"Testing at the 'top of the loop' is performed by which syntax in 
pseudo-code?

A. Do..While
B. Do..Until
C. For..Next
D. EOF"

The suggested answer given is A, with the explanation that 'Do..Until is 
often referred to as testing at the bottom of the loop...'

But surely both do..while and do..until both test at the bottom of the loop.

A While..Wend, on the other hand, tests at the top.
