Question

1. (02.04 lc) a computer programmer writes a procedure called calcavg(a, b, c) that calculates the average of three numbers. to call the procedure, the programmer typed in calcmyavg(2, 5, 6), which resulted in an error. which error did the code cause? (5 points) logical round off syntax overflow

Explanation:

The procedure calcAvg is meant to calculate the average of three numbers, but the programmer called it with only two numbers (2, 5, 6? Wait, no—wait, the call was calcMyAvg(2, 5, 6)? Wait, no, the problem says "typed in calcMyAvg(2, 5, 6)" but the procedure is for three numbers? Wait, no, the key is: a logical error occurs when the program's logic (like the number of arguments passed to a procedure) is incorrect. The procedure expects three numbers, but was it called with the wrong number? Wait, no—wait, the error is because the programmer used the wrong procedure call (maybe the procedure calcAvg takes three parameters, but the call was with three? Wait, no, the options: Logical error is about the program's logic (like incorrect input, wrong algorithm). Syntax error is about code structure (like missing semicolon). Round-off is numerical precision. Overflow is too big a number. Here, the error is logical because the call's logic (number of arguments, or the procedure's expectation) is wrong. So the correct option is Logical.

Answer:

Logical (the option labeled "Logical")
