Assignment and arithmetic operators:
Given the following declaration statement:
const double MAX = 100;
What type of error will the following statement cause and
why?
MAX = 200;
Answer:
Because MAX was declared as a constant. Once a
constant is declared and initialized, its value cannot be
changed.

Assume the fillowing declaration:
int a, b, c;
Indicate the values of a, b and c after the following instructions:
instruction

value of a

value of b

value of c

a = 5;

b = 3;

c = a + b;

a = 7 + 3 * 7 / 2 - 1;

16

c = b - a;

Arithmetic Operators:
To compute the sum S of the integers from 1 to n, we can
use the formula:
S = ((1+n)*n)/2
For instance, if n has value 10, then S is 55
(1 + 2 + + 9 + 10)
Assume the following declarations:
int s, n;

Answer:
S = (n*(n+1)) / 2;

Write a C++ statement to calculate S using the above

formula
