Question

The following code segment is intended to sum compute the product of the first five odd integers.

product = 1;
for(int k = 0; k < 5; k++)
product = product * (2*k + 1);

Which of the following best describes the error, if any, in this code.

A.) The segment works as intended.
B.) The segment computes the product of the first four odd integers.
C.) The loop is incorrect. "k < 5" should be replaced with "k <= 5".
D.) The loop is incorrect. "k = 0" should be replaced with "k = 1" and "k < 5" should be replaced with "k <= 5".
E.) The variable product is incorrectly initialized. The first line should be "product = 1;".

Explanation / Answer

A.) The segment works as intended. Although technically the first line should be: int product = 1; but E) didn't say that. Please remember to rate! Thanks!
