Question 2

What is the result of VAL("1,234")?
A)1
B)0
C)1234
D)123

VAL function stops reading the string at the first character it doesn't recognize as part of a number, which in this case is the comma, so it only returns the integer value before the comma, which is 1.

Question 3

A)1
B)0
C)123
D)1234

Accepted Answer

The VAL function in many programming languages is used to convert a string that represents a number into a numeric format. In this case, VAL("1234") would convert the string "1234" into the numeric value 1234.

Question 4

What is the result of VAL("A123")?
A)1
B)0
C)1234
D)123

Accepted Answer

VAL function in many programming languages, including BASIC, converts the initial portion of a string that represents a number into a numeric format. Since "A123" starts with a non-numeric character ("A"), the VAL function cannot convert it and thus returns 0, as it stops reading at the first character that is not recognized as part of a number.
