Move Zeroes to I move 5 to j perform para1 varying I from 10 by -2 until I = 0 display..

Answer / gayathri

The para1 will be performed only 5 times for the values of
I = 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 respectively. Para1 can not be
executed for the value I = 0 as it uses Perform until
condition.

so the value of J is 5+(5*5) equals 30

correct answer is c) 30

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Move Zeroes to I move 5 to j perform para1 varying I from 10 by -2 until I = 0 display..

Answer / sudeshna majumdar

Correct answer is c) 30.

The para1 will be performed 6 times where the values of I
will be 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 0 respectively.
After each processing of para1, value of J will be
incremented by 5 and value of I will be decremented by 2.
Now, the para1 is called starting from I = 10 and ends when
I = 0. Thus, after 6 time para1 processing,J value will be
5*6 = 30.

Move Zeroes to I move 5 to j perform para1 varying I from 10 by -2 until I = 0 display..

Answer / avi

The value of J before the Para call is 5.
Now,the loop executes for 6 times, so 5*6 is added to the
existing value of J.
J=5+(5*6)
=35.
The correct option is 35.
