Students have asked these similar questions
A for statement is a loop that goes through a list of things. Therefore, it keeps running as long as there are objects to process. Is this a true or a false statement?
True or False: You should be incrementing the control variable of a for loop
True or False: you can use the control variable of a while loop after the loop has finished executing
True or False: you can nest repetition structures in repetition structures
True or False: you can nest selection structure in selection structures
A for statement is a loop that iterates across a list of items. As a result, it continues to operate as long as there are items to process. Is this statement true or false?

ExitOnce a menu is selected, the appropriate action should be taken and once this action is finished,the menu should reappear.

A food truck has multiple food items as well as a menu which contains a selection of the food items which will be sold for that day. A maximum of 10 food items can appear on the menu for any day. For each food item keep a code, description, category, price and quantity in stock (code, description and category are not usually changed). Create a comma delimited text file called "items.txt" for 15 or more food items, indicating the item's description, category, price and quantity in stock. Read all the food items from the text file “Items.txt” Display all the food items available for this food truck.

The value for n which should be set in the program using a constant should be 50,000. Each process will test its share of the cases. Each process should not print out any primes that it finds, but it should keep a running total. Before the process finishes, it should print out its ID number and its count of primes that it found. The master process should end with printing a total for the count of the number of primes and the total amount of time taken to find all the primes. Take a screenshot of the output for running this with 5 processes. Before submission, make sure you clean up the directories so that no miscellaneous files are kept around in the submission. (Grade would be deducted if useless files are found in the homework directories.) Include the source code, screenshot, and the Makefile in the submission. Your…arrow_forward
