Which of the following code snippets correctly initializes a balance variable to zero in a balance calculation algorithm?
Abalance := 0
Bbalance = 0
Cbalance == 0
Dbalance = 'zero'
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify correct assignment syntax

    In most programming languages, = assigns a value. So balance = 0 sets balance to zero.
  2. Step 2: Check other options for errors

    := is not standard in many languages, == is a comparison, and assigning a string 'zero' is incorrect for numeric balance.
  3. Final Answer:

    balance = 0 -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Use = for assignment, not == or := [OK]
Quick Trick: Use single = to assign values in most languages [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using == instead of = for assignment
  • Using := which is not common in many languages
  • Assigning string instead of numeric zero
