Answer 28

A) 17 counting the characters including the spaces in the "Martha and George" adds to 17

Question 29

What would display if the following pseudocode was coded and executed? Declare String user = "Martha and George" Display substring (user, 1,3)

Answer 29

Art bc count the characters starting from 0 the substring to be displayed are chars 1, 2, and 3. therefore 1=A 2=R 3=T

Question 30

What would be the value of numS if the following pseudocode was coded and run?

Answer 30

A) 6 bc program is looped to run 6 times (0-legnth of prose which is 5 chars +1 from 0) Therefore when it counts 6 s even if its not done the prose the program will end.
