If a > b is FALSE then which of the following is TRUE? (one answer)
A. a < = b
B. a < b
C. a = b
D. a > = bI had this question on my Programming Essentials final today. I won't say yet what my answer was but I had a heated argument with the teacher about how he was wrong. Your thoughts?
-
"A" would be less than or equal to b.

That was easy

D obviously
-
2 A's and a D so far.
My teachers answer was B
-
Wait I kinda see it... I do think B is right after reading it in my head 20 times...
-
I can see that B is right but the best answer is A. If a and b are variable then that assumes you don't know the values and that leaves open the possibility for them to be equal.

No it is B! The symbol for greater than or equal to is an < with - under it therefore answer A is saying it is both equal to AND great than which is not true! It's a weird question with a symantic trick sort of and/or is the key though

A,B or C can be true.
If A is NOT greater than Btgen B must be equal to or less than A (answer A).
But, with the given information the other two would also be true.
Now, if the question was A >= B is False, the only correct answer would be B.
I think you misread the question.
-
E) all of the above
-
A if it means less than or equal to otherwise B
-
The teacher is clever. This is a well written logic problem. Answer b
-
👆don't be sad, get glad😺
-
Weird I though B was such an obvious answer.
-
If a CANNOT be greater than b, then it has to be less than or equal to b.
Answer: A -
A fer sure. If a = b then the answer is wrong.
But, it depends on syntax. Is it (a=b)||(a<b)?
Sorry, teacher... But to a general audience you are wrong.
-
None of the above
-
...And screw logic. This is a programming class.
In the context of programming, there is NO WAY that b is the correct answer. It is at least wrong sometimes. Answer a is absolutely correct. And in programming, the operator is usually <= for "less than or equal to". So syntax is unlikely the test here. If it is, than its a bullshit question.
Final Answer.

Nope. Find that symbol on your keyboard. Programming class. Your logic would be: (a=b)&&(a<b). That would be wrong, but that's not what it says.No it is B!

-
Couldn't any of them be correct? Because if a is not greater than b, they could be equal (which makes a, c, and d all plausible, assuming the variations of < = means greater/less than or equal to) or b could be greater than a (making b plausible).
Unless with programming it's different...
-
Your ALL wrong. The correct answer is...........Screw it and go have a beer!!!
-
Technically A, B. and C can be correct but IMO A covers all the bases:
IF 4 > 4 is FALSE, THEN 4 >= 4 would be TRUE. -
A is less than or equal to b. Quite obvious. Is that what you meant by answer A?

YOU wrote:
I was joking first off and all of you are wrong he put the >= sign separate because he didn't know where to fis the correct sign and the ONLY possible correct answer is A, b is partially correct but the answer is A provided that the information you provided is correct.D obviously
-
In programming syntax >= is less than or equal to.
-
A is true, because reversed,
B>=A.HOWEVER, in your logical,
Basic, learning process, we learned that if a is less than b,
Then B is obviously greater than A. There was no = and/or when we first leaned this.
Therefore a logical thinker would apply it as
A<B.I say the answer is B
