kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:Sometimes if the inbuilt mouse is not automatically disabled upon the insertion of the Universal Serial Bus Mouse then there might be a conflict of drivers.

Given that the USB mouse has already been removed, the next step is to disable the touchpad (in-built mouse).

Of course, Micah can re-insert his USB after that.

Cheers!

A loop decision point for an algorithm consists of three features: an initial value, a set of actions to be performed, and a(n)
user100 [1]

Answer:

A test condition

Explanation:

In programming, loops (for, while and do...while) will contain these three components. Consider the for statement below in java/c++/c language

for(int i = 0; i<10; i++) there are three components in there

int i = 0 //The Initial value

i<10 //This is the test condition

i++ // An action performed to change (increment) the value of i

A while statement also has these three components and without the test condition to be checked at each iteration, the code won't compile. The loop only continous as long as the condition remains true.
