A_________-controlled loop uses a true/false condition to control the number of times that it repeats.
a. Boolean
b. condition
c. decision
d. count
The “while” loop is a condition-controlled loop; it controls the number of times that the loop repeats.
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Condition controlled loop:
This is a loop that exhibits true or false condition to control the number of times that the loop repeats. For example, the “while” loop is a condition-controlled loop.
- The “while” loop first checks its expression, and then the statements inside the loop get executed. It is also called as pretest loops.
- The loop gets terminated when the condition becomes false.
Syntax:
Syntax for the “while” loop is as follows:
while boolean_expression:
# while suite
Example Program:
Consider the following example of the condition-controlled loop:
#initialization of variable
a=1
#execute the while loop until a is less than or equal to 5
while a<=5:
#Print the value of a
print(a)
#Increment a by 1 for each iteration of loop
a+=1
zOutput:
1
2
3
4
5
In the above code, the “while” loop executes until the value of “a” is less than or equal to 5, and then it exits from the program when the condition inside the loop fails.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Boolean:
Boolean is not a loop instead it is a data type that is represented with two values either true or false. This value is based upon the flow of the action performed by the program.
Hence, option “A” is wrong.
Decision:
A decision is not a loop, and it decides the case to be executed based upon the situation.
Hence, option “C” is wrong.
Count controlled loop:
This is a loop that repeats a specific number of times, and it keeps track of the counter variable to track about the number of times that the loop executes. For example, “for” loop is a counter-controlled loop.
Hence, option “D” is wrong.

- (Mathematical functions) Write a program that calculates and displays values for y when y=xz/(xz) Your program should calculate y for values of x ranging between 1 and 5 and values of z ranging between 2 and 6. The x variable should control the outer loop and be incremented in steps of 1, and z should be incremented in steps of 1. Your program should also display the message Function Undefined when the x and z values are equal.arrow_forwardUsing c++Random Number Guessing Game Write a program that generates a random number between 1 and 100 and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high. Try again.” If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low. Try again.” The program should use a loop that repeats until the user correctly guesses the random number. Then the program should display “Congratulations. You figured out my number.”arrow_forwardUsing c++Random Number Guessing Game Write a program that generates a random number between 1 and 100 and asks the user to guess what the number is.

You figured out my number.” Enhance the program so it keeps a count of the number of guesses the user makes. When the user correctly guesses the random number, the program should display the number of guesses along with the message of congratulations.arrow_forward

Simplydescribe the differences between for-loop and while-loop.arrow_forwardBasic while loop expression. Write a while loop that prints userNum divided by 4 (integer division) until reaching 2 or less. Follow each number by a space. Example output for userNum = 160:40 10 2 Note: These activities may test code with different test values. This activity will perform four tests, with userNum = 160, then with userNum = 8, then with userNum = 0, then with userNum = -1. See "How to Use zyBooks".Also note: If the submitted code has an infinite loop, the system will stop running the code after a few seconds, and report "Program end never reached." The system doesn't print the test case that caused the reported message.arrow_forward
- *Using C# in Microsoft Visual Studio* create an application that lets the user enter a nonnegative integer and then uses a loop to calculate the factorial of that number. Display the factorial in a label or a message box. If the input is nonnumeric your program SHOULD NOT CRASH but display a message “”non numeric input”. If the input is negative display the message “”negative numbers are invalid.arrow_forwardQuestion: Average score Write a program that uses loops to collect data and calculate the average score over a number of tests for a number of students. The program should : 1. first ask the user to enter the number of students in the range of 1 to 10. 2. then the program asks the user to enter the number of tests (in the range of 1 to 5) 3. Then use a loop to collect the scores for those many tests for each student. The outer loop will iterate once for each student. The inner loop will iterate several times, once for each test. Each iteration of the inner loop will ask the user to enter the score for a test of a student. 3. After all iterations, the program should calculates and display the total scores and average score for each student.

- .Divisors flow chart using modulo operator (%) to print out all the divisors of a user entered number. Your program should prompt the user to enter a positive number or 0 to end. Using a loop variable that starts at 1, your program should print out all the divisors of the entered number plus the number of printed divisors and their sum.For example:This program identifies and displays divisors of a given number.Developed as an IPC144 project.Enter a positive number. Enter 0 to end: 151 3 5 154 divisorssum of divisors: 24 Enter a positive number. Enter 0 to end: 361 2 3 4 6 9 12 18 369 divisorssum of divisors: 91 Enter a positive number.

Use a random number generator to generate the computer’s selection. Your code should ask the user what they choose and then report the computer’s choice and who wins. This code should run in a loop and should end when the user chooses to end. (Make sure your random number generator chooses a new number each time the loop runs.) ALSO, your code should keep track of the number of times you win, the number of times you lose, and the number of ties. When the user exits, these statistics should be displayed. (Consider using a different counter variable to keep track of each value.) Make sure your code accounts for inputs that are out of the acceptable range. For example, if you ask the user to type 0 to end, 1 for Rock, 2 for Paper, and 3 for Scissors, your code should tell the user that they entered an invalid choice if they select 4. (You do not have to account for users who crash the…arrow_forwardBug Collector - MUST BE WRITTEN IN PSEUDOCODE A bug collector collects bugs every day for seven days. Design a program that keeps a running total of the number of bugs collected during the seven days. The loop should ask for the number of bugs collected for each day, and when the loop is finished, the program should display the total number of bugs collected.arrow_forward
