mina [271]

Answer: Windows

Explanation:

ShellShock: Also called Bashdoor, it is a security bug which is found in the Bash shell of operating system e.g. Unix. It allows the hacker to execute scripts and commands by gaining unauthorized access. This affects many machines, devices that use Bash. Servers like web servers are most affected as most of them run Unix based OS like OS X. Most vulnerable are those who use Unix or Linux operating systems.

Microsoft Windows does not use Bash so it does not directly affect Windows os. For those who are using Windows PC, Windows phones and websites that are developed by MS software are non-vulnerable to ShellShock.

What is the first and last value of i to be displayed by the following code snippet? int n = 20; for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)

frutty [35]

Answer:

The first value of i is 0 and last value of i is 20.

Explanation:

The following are the description of a given loop.

In this problem, there are two loops one is the internal loop and the other is the external loop

In the outer loop, the value of " i" is initialized with "0" So the first value is printed 0 in the console.

For one value of "i" all the inner loop is executed.

The loop is executed is less equal to 20 that's why the last value of "i" is printed 20 in the console window.
