Arizona State University (ASU) CSE110 Principles of Programming Exam 1 Practice

When analyzing the code and the initialization of the variable `num` to 100, it's important to understand what the code actually does after this initialization. If there are no operations modifying the value of `num` following the initialization, then the value remains unchanged. In this case, since `num` starts at 100 and is not altered, the output simply reflects this initial value.

Should the code include operations, it must be clear if they specifically affect `num`. However, if there are no such operations, you can conclude that the output will be the same as the initialized value, which is 100. This makes the output not just specific to the initialization, but also solidifies the understanding that unless a variable is modified through an action, the output will mirror its last known state.
