CLAD sample exam 1

Question

Hi,
yesterday I had a discussion with some friends and I want to get some independent opinions now :-)
It concerns this CLAD sample exam question:
Now lets see, what does the iteration terminal do? From my point of view: it returns a new value at the beginning of each loop iteration and this value tells me how often the loop has already executed (0 during the 1st iteration, 1 during the 2nd and so on). In this case answer a would be correct, right?
According to the results contained in the sample exam, the correct answer is c.
But this is only true (hard to write "true", because I think it's kind of odd to put it that way) if you wait until the loop terminates and than check what value was returned last.
I'm curious about any comments or opinions.
Regards,
Thomas

Answer 1

I would check c too (maybe if even have it, can't remember) , more because I expect it as the expected right answer
In examines you should always say what your examiner wants to hear, right? Well, most of the time easy to proof in an engineering world
And that's why the best preperation to a test is a test test, to learn how you have to understand the questions and what are the expected answers, otherwise it would be too simple
If you are picky answer a  might also be correct because the sentence is written in the past * and the terminal will spite out it's value right at the beginning of the loop when the loop has not (completely) executed.   That's why it is positioned inside on the left side.
*) I'm not a native English speaker, and grammar in any language hasn't been my favor anyway, so I might be false.
