This is part of a c programming course that im taking .

State which of the following are true and which are false. If a statement is false, explain why.

a) An algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be executed,

without specifying the order of the actions.

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION A.	FALSE
OPTION B	FALSE
OPTION C	TRUE

Explanation:

Option a: An algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be executed, without specifying the order of the actions.

The above given statement is false. This is because an algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be executed,which also specifies the order of the actions.

Option b: Unless directed otherwise, the computer automatically executes C statements in sequence.

The above statement is false. This is because the computer will not automatically execute C statements in sequence unless directed.

Option c: The if...else double-selection statement selects a single action.

The above given statement is true. It is obviously true that in if..else only one true statement is selected.
