Answer 8

The pseudo-code fragment follows:

Syntax of a switch-case statement switch(expression){ case constant:sequence of optional statements break; //optionalcase constant: sequence of optional statementsbreak; //optional .. .default //optional sequence of optional statements}

An expression is tested against a series of unique integer constants. If a match is found, the sequence of optional statements associated with thematching constant is executed. Execution of statements continues until an optional break is encountered. When break is encountered, execution of the switch statement is terminated and control is passed to the next statement following the switch statement.

If no match is found and the optional default keyword along with a sequence of optional statements has been provided, those statements willbe executed.

Answer 5

The significance of an entry condition loop is that the conditional expression is tested before the statements in the loop are executed. If it testsfalse initially, the statements in the loop will not be executed.

Answer 4

True.

Answer 3

True. Note however that including a return statement inside a while statement is probably considered poor programming practice.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
