Question 17 – Programming concepts - Questions

A sensor array tracks temperatures across a regional grid. The grid is represented by a 2D array, thermal_map, with 4 rows and 3 columns. The current temperature readings (in $∘C^\circ\text{C}$ ) are shown in the table below:

Row \ Column	0	1	2
0	23	41	18
1	46	32	45
2	19	24	15
3	45	12	30

The following algorithm is used to locate thermal anomalies (temperatures of $45∘C45^\circ\text{C}$ or higher):

max_row = -1
max_col = -1
for r from 0 to 3
    for c from 0 to 2
        if get_temp(r, c) >= 45 then
            max_row = r
            max_col = c
        endif
    endfor
endfor

Which of the following statements about the execution of this algorithm is correct?

The final value of the variable max_col is $2$ .

The outer loop's block (the inner loop) is executed a total of $12$ times.

The conditional expression get_temp(r, c) >= 45 is evaluated exactly $12$ times.

The assignment statements inside the if block are executed exactly $2$ times.

Row \ Column	0	1	2
0	23	41	18
1	46	32	45
2	19	24	15
3	45	12	30
