Doubts regarding key Q1QP2

[Nishankara]

1. Computational Thinking :

     Q.no 53 :  In the key , the correct answer  is mentioned as 1,4 . But if there was an error                in line 1 (as it was mentioned to store the value in var A) then there's                        

            error in line 5 as well . Could you please look into answer  1,2,4 . 

[Charles George]

Yes, Since the value to be stored was A line 5 is technically incorrect.

[3382 Nikhil S]

Yes, your explanation is right. 

[Hritwik NE]

Yeah I have the same concern.

Since it is pseudocode, the variable can have any name.... so the error in line 1 is due to the initial value not being zero... not due to A is replaced by C.

It's common sense, seeing the type of subject it is, issue that you have been raising might not make much of a sense.

This question (53 of Q1QP2) is similar to Q. No. 61 of Q1QP3. Request everyone to put your query of Q53 in that discussion as well, so that the more no. of replies the more chance of visibility & reach. Link to that discussion is at the end. 

Yes, you have rightly pointed out when it was mentioned to store the variable in "A" then technically Line 1 is wrong for two reasons 1st) variable named C is declared and not A (then as per the question there won't be any variable named A storing the required data, and any other variable storing that data what A should store wouldn't make sense because one won't be able to retrieve the data since it is not named A) 

2nd) C is not Initialized to 0

Then

Line 5 is also wrong because the data should be stored in variable named A as stated!
