IBM SPSS Statistics Level 1 v2 — Question 35

Which statement about looping in sequences is TRUE?

Answer options

• A. The Start Loop stage only supports numeric loops
• B. Numeric loops must increment by one unless you supply a parameter
• C. The current loop counter value can be passed to the stages in the loop
• D. The compiler will insert an End Loop as the last stage in the sequence if one is omitted

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it accurately states that the current loop counter can indeed be utilized in the stages of the loop. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent the capabilities of the Start Loop and the increment behavior of numeric loops. Option D is also incorrect because compilers typically do not automatically insert an End Loop if it is missing.
