Question 7
Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

The following fragment intends that a user will enter a list of positive integers at the keyboard and terminate the list with a sentinel:

// code to process value
value = IO.readInt();
}

Select one:
a. The sentinel gets processed
b. The last nonsentinel value entered in the list fails to get processed.
c. A poor choice of SENTINEL value causes the loop to terminate before all values have been processed.
