Question

Result ← 1

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of result is 4

Explanation:

Given

$score1 = 505$

$score2 = 250$

Required

The value of result

On line 1 of the program, result is initialized to 1;

i.e.

$result = 1$

Line 2 is a conditional statement that checks if score1 is greater than 500.

In this case, the result of the condition is true because 505 > 500 and as such

The corresponding else statement is discarded and the following will be executed

if(score1 > 500){ ->This is true

       result = result + 1; -> result  is increased by 1 to 2

       if(score2 > 500){ -> This is false because score2 is 250 and 250 < 500

           result = result + 1; -> This won't be executed because the condition is false

       }

       else{ -> This will be executed since its corresponding if condition is false, the else statement will be true

           result = result + 2; -> result is incremented by 2 to give 4

       }

   }

Hence, the value of result is 4
