What will a compiler do for the following code? /* numItems = 2; /* Total items to buy */ rate = 0.5; */ Group of answer choices Generate an error. Generate code for numItems = 2, but ignore rate = 0.5. Ignore both statements. Ignore numItems = 2, but generate code for rate = 0.5.

Respuesta :

The compiler would (d) generate an error

How to interpret the program statements?

The statement are given as:

/* numItems = 2;

/* Total items to buy */

rate = 0.5; */

In a computer program, statements in comments are ignored by the compiler.

This implies that the statement in the  /* ..... */ would be ignored.

The statements in these brackets are:

/* numItems = 2;

/* Total items to buy */

So, the compiler would ignore

numItems = 2;

However, an error would be generated because rate = 0.5; */  do not have an opening comment i.e. /*

Hence, the compiler would (d) generate an error
