Question #: 19
Topic #: 9
[All CTAL-ATT Questions]

Consider the following section of pseudocode:

function getPassword() {

var x;

var y;

var z;

var passwordGood = false

// Get password from user, user is allowed 3 tries

do until x = 3

call getPassword (password)

if password is good

x = 3

passwordGood = true

else

X = X + 1

display ''Password is not valid, try again''

endif

If passwordGood <> true

display ''You exceeded the number of tries to enter a password. Your account is now locked. Call customer service.''

endif

endloop

}

For this section of code, which of the following issues should be identified during a code review?

Variables have not been properly defined with meaningful names

There are unused variables defined

Divisors are not tested for zero

Loop counters are not properly initialized

There are endless loops

There are statements within the loop that should be outside the loop

Wait, why are we testing for zero divisors? This is a password validation function, not a math equation. Seems a bit off the mark.

Hmm, the variable names could definitely be more descriptive. And what's up with those unused variables? Seems like a rookie mistake to me.

I'm not sure, but I think option B might also be correct. It mentions unused variables and statements within the loop that should be outside the loop.

I agree with Shanda. Option A seems to cover all the issues mentioned in the code review question.

I think the correct answer is A) 1, 3, 4, 5 because variables should have meaningful names, divisors need to be tested for zero, loop counters should be properly initialized, and there should not be endless loops.
