Question

Consider the following code segment.

Answer 1

Answer:

for (int h = k; h >= 0; h--)

Explanation:

From the list of given options, option C answers the question.

In the outer loop

Initially, k = 0

In the inner loop,

h = k = 0

The value of h will be printed once because h>=0  means 0>=0 and this implies once

To the outer loop

k = 1

The inner loop will always assume value of k;

So,

h = 1

This will be printed twice because of the condition h>=0  means 1>=0.

Since 1 and 0 are >=0; 1 will be printed twice

To the outer loop

k = 2

The inner loop

h = 2

This will be printed thrice because of the condition h>=0  means 2>=0.

Since 2, 1 and 0 are >=0; 2 will be printed thrice

To the outer loop

k = 3

The inner loop

h = 3

This will be printed four times because of the condition h>=0  means 3>=0.

Since 3, 2, 1 and 0 are >=0; 3 will be printed four times
