Hi There:
I found the answer e correct.
Dan: Is this a typical question for the exam? It takes a while to properly indent the code and write down the intermediate results etc. Would we
have enough time, paper and pencil available?
Thanks

The primary purpose of the real exam is to simply verify that you know the material. The real exam is not intended to be a learning experience. For that reason, the final result of most of the real exam questions will just be a single value such as the integer 42. The primary purpose of my exam is to demonstrate the basic concepts. For that reason, my questions print a lot of intermediate results that allow a person to more easily understand what the code is doing.
I think that my exams provide a very good learning experience and that is why I encourage people to use the single topic exams while working through an exam study guide chapter-by-chapter. I encourage people to use other mock exams available elsewhere on the Internet during the final phases of their preparation for the real exam. At that point, a person should already know the material and should simply be looking for practice with questions that more closely resemble what will be encountered on the real exam.
My exam offers its greatest value early in the study process. It is not intended to be a last minute preview of the real exam. A person that is scheduled to take the real exam in a week or two should be using mock exams that are known to closely resemble the real exam. A good example would be the
Marcus Green Exams.
