Which of the Following Statements Is False

question 18

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• A) Both xe "iteration"iteration and recursion are based on a xe "control statement"control statement: Iteration uses an xe "iteration:statement"iteration statement (e.g., for or while), whereas recursion uses a selection statement (e.g., if or if…else or if…elif…else).
• B) Iteration and recursion each involve a xe "termination test"termination test: Iteration terminates when the loop-continuation condition fails, whereas recursion terminates when a base case is reached.
• C) Iteration with xe "counter-controlled iteration[counter controlled iteration]"counter-controlled iteration and recursion both gradually approach termination: Counter-controlled iteration keeps modifying a counter until the counter assumes a value that makes the loop-continuation condition fail, whereas recursion keeps producing smaller versions of the original problem until the base case is reached.
• D) Only iteration can occur infinitely: An infinite loop occurs with iteration if the loop-continuation test never becomes false.
