What happens if code is not indented? b) 2 pts) Explain how you can prevent the unintended use of garbage values? c) (2 pts] Give one reason why you should use the keyword const when dealing with constant values. Make sure to explain what could happen if you fail to use this keyword. d) 2 pts) Give an example where simply declaring a variable (without properly initializing it is not considered a logic error. e) [2 pts) Give an example where simply declaring a variable (without properly initializing it) is considered a logic error. f) [4 pts) Explain in your own words how the compilation process works from beginning to end. In other words, describe how source code is transformed into an executable file. Do not forget to indicate what roles (if any) play the compiler and the linker.

Answer 1

a) With proper code indentation, it becomes

• Easier to read the code
• Easier to understand the code
• Easier to modify the code
• Easier to maintain the code

Without code indentation, readability takes a hit, and it becomes really difficult to enhance the code in future.

c) Without the const keyword, it is possible to modify the value of the the constant later on. Hence, without const keyword, the whole purpose of constant is lost.

d)

int main() {

char ch;

if (ch != ' ') {

cout << "ch is not a space!";

}

}
