[Year 12 SofDev] SD VITTA exam 2, multichoice #1

[Sonia Cotugno]

I agree with you Mark.
 
I answered with (C) For...Next because none of the others tested at the top of the loop. I think it's actually incorrect to say Do...While. I really do think it should have said While as an option.

I'm curious what others think...

"Testing at the 'top of the loop' is performed by which syntax in
pseudo-code?

A. Do..While
B. Do..Until
C. For..Next
D. EOF"

The suggested answer given is A, with the explanation that 'Do..Until is
often referred to as testing at the bottom of the loop...'

But surely both do..while and do..until both test at the bottom of the loop.

A While..Wend, on the other hand, tests at the top.
