Answer:
Option d pretest
Explanation:
Given the pseudocode:
- do stepA
- do stepB
- if conditionC is true
- then do stepD
- else
- do stepE
- end if
- while conditionF is true
- do stepG
- end while
The pseudocode above shows that there is a pretest before some codes are executed. For example, line 3 check if condition is true then only execute stepD otherwise execute stepE. Line 8 check if conditionF is true then repeatedly execute stepG. These are examples of pretest a condition will must be met (pretest passed) before a block of codes can be executed. This pretest can be seen in if-else statements and also the while condition.

Answer:
TAX_RATE = 0.20
STANDART_DEDUCTION = 10000.0
DEPENDENT_DEDUCTION = 3000.0
gross_income = float(input("Enter the gross income: "))
number_of_dependents = int(input("Enter the number of dependents: "))
income = gross_income - STANDART_DEDUCTION - (DEPENDENT_DEDUCTION * number_of_dependents)
tax = income * TAX_RATE
print ("The income tax is $" + str(round(tax, 2)))
Explanation:
Define the <em>constants</em>
Ask user to enter the <em>gross income</em> and <em>number of dependents</em>
Calculate the <em>income</em> using formula (income = gross_income - STANDART_DEDUCTION - (DEPENDENT_DEDUCTION * number_of_dependents))
Calculate the <em>tax</em>
Print the <em>tax</em>
<em />
round(number, number of digits) -> This is the general usage of the <em>round</em> function in Python.
Since we need <u>two digits of precision</u>, we need to modify the program as str(<u>round(incomeTax, 2</u>)).
Answer:
Can be executed on multiple platforms.
Explanation:
A program is portable if it is not platform dependent. In other words, if the program is not tightly coupled to a particular platform, then it is said to be portable. Portable programs can run on multiple platforms without having to do much work. By platform, we essentially mean the operating system and hardware configuration of the machine's CPU.
Examples of portable programs are those written in;
i. Java
ii. C++
iii. C
