CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U71) — Question 26

A user is writing code to calculate the amount of pay for each worker at a company. The pay rate is the same for all workers. The code will use the formula amount_of_pay = nunber_of_hours * pay_rate
Which of the following should be used in the code to represent pay_rate?

Answer options

• A. Object
• B. Function
• C. Constant
• D. Array

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Constant, because the pay rate does not change and should remain fixed throughout the calculations. Options A (Object) and D (Array) are not suitable since they are used for collections or data structures, while B (Function) is incorrect as it implies a process rather than a fixed value.
