Question

if age is a variable that contains an integer number, what is wrong with the following if statement?
if (age = 17):
select one:
o a. it should not have a colon (:) at the end
o b. the parentheses are invalid
o c. nothing is wrong: it will work as expected
o d. it uses an assignment statement instead of a logical expression

Explanation:

In programming, an if statement requires a logical expression (like a comparison) to determine the flow. An assignment statement (age = 17) is not a logical expression. The correct form would use a comparison operator (e.g., if (age == 17):).

Answer:

d. It uses an assignment statement instead of a logical expression
