System.out.println(count);
count++;
}

Question 7
Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
The following fragment intends that a user will enter a list of positive integers at the keyboard and terminate the list with a sentinel:
int value = 0;
final int SENTINEL = -999;
while(value != SENTINEL)
{
// code to process value
value = IO.readInt();
}
Select one:
a. The sentinel gets processed
b. The last nonsentinel value entered in the list fails to get processed.
c. A poor choice of SENTINEL value causes the loop to terminate before all values have been processed.
d. The code will always process a value that is not on the list
e. Entering the SENTINEL value as the first value causes a run-time error.
The correct answer is: The code will always process a value that is not on the list
