The two major SAS steps are data and proc.

SAS programming structure is based on two essential steps, Data and Proc.

1. The DATA step:

This involves collecting and uploading the essential data to the program memory. It is used to update, modify and edit the data in case of any errors once it has been added to a dataset. New datasets can be created from existing ones by updating, editing, and/or merging them. at the end of this step, SAS data sets are created.

2. The PROC step:

This step processes and analyses the data collected into datasets in the previous step. it is used to perform specific functions on the data. at the end of the proc step, a result or report is produced.

In a SAS code, each line of code should begin either with a DATA or PROC step.

While the other options are incorrect because:

Analysis: analysis is done in the PROC step.
Content: Data or content is collected in the DATA step.
Stat: a stat function acquires the status information regarding a specific file. Functions are performed on the datasets in the PROC step.
Run: This command is used to execute a code.
Import: Datasets are created by importing data from other datasets and outside.
Print: the report produced at the end of the PROC step can be printed as a hard copy.

Most languages allow a specialized selection structure called the ____ structure when there are several distinct possible values

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

CASE

Explanation:

Case Structure is a mechanism that allows different executions when there are several distinct possible values for a single variable, and each value requires a different subsequent action depending on the value of the label.

Case structure is also a conditional control structure that appears in most modern programming languages and allows a selection to be made between several sets of program statements.

What is the benefit of using pre-programmed functions to analyze data?"

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A pre-programmed function is a section of code which is reusable to perform certain routine. One benefit of using a pre-programmed function to analyze data is the code redundancy can be reduced. The function is only written for once and it can be called to perform a specific data analysis whenever it is needed.

Besides, a pre-programmed function also offer consistent analytical output as all data are processed by a same analytical procedure in the function.

"Write an iterative function iterPower(base, exp) that calculates the exponential baseexp by simply using successive multiplicat

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

I am writing the function using Python. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.

def iterPower(base, exp):

baseexp = 1

while exp > 0:

baseexp = baseexp*base

exp= exp - 1

return baseexp

base = 3

exp = 2

print(iterPower(base, exp))

Explanation:

The function name is iterPower which takes two parameters base and exp. base variable here is the number which is being multiplied and this number is multiplied exponential times which is specified in exp variable.
baseexp is a variable that stores the result and then returns the result of successive multiplication.
while loop body keeps executing until the value of exp is greater than 0. So it will keep doing successive multiplication of the base, exp times until value of exp becomes 0.
The baseexp keeps storing the multiplication of the base and exp keeps decrements by 1 at each iteration until it becomes 0 which will break the loop and the result of successive multiplication stored in baseexp will be displayed in the output.
Here we gave the value of 3 to base and 2 to exp and then print(iterPower(base, exp)) statement calls the iterPower function which calculates the exponential of these given values.
Lets see how each iteration works:

1st iteration

baseexp = 1

exp>0 True because exp=2 which is greater than 0

baseexp = baseexp*base

= 1*3 = 3

So baseexp = 3

exp = exp - 1

= 2 - 1 = 1

exp = 1

2nd iteration

baseexp = 3

exp>0 True because exp=1 which is greater than 0

baseexp = baseexp*base

= 3*3 = 9

So baseexp = 9

exp = exp - 1

= 1-1 = 0

exp = 0

Here the loop will break now when it reaches third iteration because value of exp is 0 and the loop condition evaluates to false now.
return baseexp statement will return the value stored in baseexp which is 9
So the output of the above program is 9.
