[All PCEP-30-02 Questions]

What is the expected output of the following code?

BThe code raises an unhandled exception.

CFalse

D('Fermi ', '2021', 'False')

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The code snippet that you have sent is a loop that checks if a variable ''floor'' is less than or equal to 0 and prints a string accordingly. The code is as follows:

floor = 5 while floor > 0: print(''+'') floor = floor - 1

The code starts with assigning the value 5 to the variable ''floor''. Then, it enters a while loop that repeats as long as the condition ''floor > 0'' is true. Inside the loop, the code prints a ''+'' symbol to the screen, and then subtracts 1 from the value of ''floor''. The loop ends when ''floor'' becomes 0 or negative, and the code exits.

The code outputs five ''+'' symbols to the screen, one for each iteration of the loop. Therefore, the correct answer is C. five.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think it was about returning a tuple, so D seems likely.

I feel like the answer could be False, but I can't recall the exact logic behind it.

I remember something about exceptions in similar questions, so maybe it raises an unhandled exception instead?

I think the output might be option D, but I'm not entirely sure if the tuple is formatted correctly.

Okay, let me break this down. The code is creating a tuple, so the output should be a tuple. I just need to figure out the exact values that will be in the tuple.

Ah, I think I've seen something like this before. Let me quickly review the rules around string concatenation and boolean values in this language.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The output seems a bit ambiguous, so I'll need to double-check my understanding of the language features involved.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the code and think through the logic step-by-step.

I'm pretty confident about this one. I know CASE and DECODE are both SQL functions, so I'll start by evaluating the statements about them being functions.

This is a good test of my XSLT knowledge. I'm feeling confident that I can figure out the right answer if I take my time and think it through.

No way, objects should never call other objects. That's a recipe for a tangled mess of dependencies. I'm going with option A.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about the type of query needed for a Prisma Cloud build policy in Terraform. I think the answer is Terraform, since Prisma Cloud integrates with Terraform.
