ESSAY
1. Explain what a compound operator is, and of what it consists.
ANS:
A compound operator allows you to add, subtract, multiple, divide, use modulus or exponents, or
concatenate strings, storing the result in the same variable. An assignment statement that includes a
compound operator begins with the variable that will contain the accumulated value, such as an
accumulator or a counter, followed by the compound operator. A compound operator consists of an
arithmetic operator and an equal sign. The last element in the assignment statement is the variable or
literal containing the value to be used in the calculation
PTS: 1 REF: 396 TOP: Critical Thinking

2. How does a Do loop work? What is the difference between a Do While loop and a Do Until loop? A
top-controlled loop and a bottom-controlled loop?
ANS:
In a Do loop, the body of the loop is executed while or until a condition is true or false. The Do loop
uses a condition similar to an If…Then decision structure to determine whether it should continue
looping. In this way you can use a Do loop to execute a body of statements an indefinite number of
times.
Visual Basic 2010 provides two types of Do loops: the Do While loop and the Do Until loop. Both Do
loops execute statements repeatedly until a specified condition becomes true or false. Each loop
examines a condition to determine whether the condition is true. The Do While loop executes as long
as the condition is true.
The Do Until loop executes until the condition becomes true.
Do loops are either top-controlled or bottom-controlled, depending on whether the condition is tested
before the loop begins or after the body of the loop has executed one time. A top-controlled loop is
tested before the loop is entered; the body of a top-controlled loop might not be executed at all because
the condition being tested might be true before any processing in the loop occurs.
Bottom-controlled loops test the condition at the bottom of the loop, so the body of a
bottom-controlled loop is executed at least once..
PTS: 1 REF: 405-406 TOP: Critical Thinking
3. Discuss what a breakpoint is and how to use it.
ANS:
A good way to collect information is to pause the execution of the code where a possible error could
occur. One way to pause execution is to use breakpoints. Breakpoints are stop points placed in the
code to tell the Visual Studio 2010 debugger where and when to pause the execution of the
application. During this pause, the program is in break mode. While in break mode, you can examine
the values in all variables that are within the scope of execution through the use of DataTips.
