Structure program in Qbasic

Computer Science Level 1

Observe the following coding in qbasic :-- 

FOR  I=1 TO 5
FOR J=1 TO 5
IF (I=J) OR (I+J=6) THEN
PRINT "*"; 
ELSE
PRINT "  ";
END IF
NEXT J,I

The output will produce a structure that looks like a letter in the English alphabet! Can you find the letter?

S A J X

There is no newline character so, X will not form. X is possible only when there is newline character. Output will be in single line.

We should all get the points back that we lost from trying this...

True and I assumed he added a new line character and then gave the answer as X. But flimsy code, real flimsy and careless.

Mon Leyson - 7 years, 2 months ago

Yeah, you're right, but there is no "none of the the above" or "no letter would form" choice... But if you would just ASSUME that there is, X is the one.

Could solve it just by watching the pattern...

if i==j then print "*", that means a * at exact center,

and (i+j)=6 means if i=4, j=2 then *... j=4 and i=2... then *... So its kind of symmetrical for me... so X was obvious...

No new line char is there....So X will not printed...if there is any new line char after j-th loop then X Char printed.......

Definitely at the end of the program when it reached six tries it will give an output of an asterisk where letter X is the most proximate figure when it comes to the letters in the alphabet.

If we assume that there is a new line character (Which is not there in the question!!) the solution may lead to X...

The answer is X but the code is not proper since we have to assume a new line character.

considering that there is new line character the only pattern that can form is X else the answer will be none of the given options if we consider new line character

There's no return to line after the second loop is done. So the output won't be an X, the output will be on one line.

0 Helpful 0 Interesting 0 Brilliant 0 Confused

the output will be x in the form of * because the looping condition are in such a way thats why

Will Print X. The first loop prints 5 rows and the 2nd will print the stars when the conditions mentioned are satisfied So "*" would be printed when... X,Y(1,1), X,Y(1,5) X,Y(2,2) X,Y(2,4) and so on...

Madhu Bala - 7 years, 2 months ago

yes it should be X as i+j=6 & i=j

Kuntal Ghosh - 7 years, 2 months ago

No, answer will not be X. there is no newline character then how control will go to new line. that's why output will be in single line. and X will not form
