Quiz 2 answers CSE100, Autumn 1999
This quiz is out of 10 points.


1. Explain in words what the following assignment statement does: 
        homeTeam = homeTeam + 6
The value of homeTeam is increased by 6 and the result becomes the new value of homeTeam.


2. Explain briefly the meaning of the following conditional statement, i.e., what happens when the computer executes it? 
        If temp < 32 Then
                state = "solid"
                form = "ice"
        End If

The value of the variable temp is tested to see if it is less than 32. If so, then the two assignment statements are executed; otherwise they are not.
