Question

Trace the output of this code

Answer 1

Answer:

The output is 5

Explanation:

Given

Dim x As Integer

x = 5

If x <=5 Then x = x + 1

Label1.text = x -1

Required

The output

On the second line of the code, x=5

The third line is an if condition which checks if x<=5

So, we have:

5 <= 5 ....This is true

So, x = x + 1 will be executed

$x = 5 + 1$

$x = 6$

The last line of the program subtracts 1 for x and outputs the result on Label1

Label1.text = x -1

Label1.text = 6 -1

Label1.text = 5

Hence, the output is 5
