Epic Skills Assessment Fictional Programming Language Logic Questions and Answers 2

Question 1

In ZetaScript, LOOP x FROM 1 TO 5 STEP 2 means x takes values 1, 3, 5. What values does x take in LOOP x FROM 0 TO 10 STEP 3?

Accepted Answer

0,3,6,9

Answer

Starting at 0, incrementing by 3, stopping at or before 10: 0,3,6,9. The next would be 12 which exceeds 10, so the loop ends at 9.

Question 2

In OmegaCode: FUNC double(n) RETURN n*2. FUNC triple(n) RETURN n*3. What does double(triple(4)) return?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

triple(4)=12, double(12)=24.

Question 3

AlphaLang rule: IF a MOD 2 = 0 THEN label='even' ELSE label='odd'. What is the label for a=17?

Accepted Answer

odd

Answer

17 MOD 2 = 1 (not 0), so the ELSE branch executes: label='odd'.

Question 4

In BetaScript: array A = [5,3,8,1,9]. SORT A ASCENDING. What is A[0] after sorting?

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

After sorting ascending: [1,3,5,8,9]. A[0]=1.

Question 5

DeltaLang: x=5; WHILE x!=0: x=x-2. Will this loop terminate?

Accepted Answer

No, it will run forever

Answer

x starts at 5 (odd). Subtracting 2 each time: 5→3→1→-1→-3… x is always odd and will never equal 0. The loop runs forever.
