if password is good

x = 3

passwordGood = true

else

X = X + 1

display ''Password is not valid, try again''

endif

If passwordGood <> true

display ''You exceeded the number of tries to enter a password. Your account is now locked. Call customer service.''

endif

endloop

}

Hmm, the variable names could definitely be more descriptive. And what's up with those unused variables? Seems like a rookie mistake to me.

I'm not sure, but I think option B might also be correct. It mentions unused variables and statements within the loop that should be outside the loop.

I agree with Shanda. Option A seems to cover all the issues mentioned in the code review question.

I think the correct answer is A) 1, 3, 4, 5 because variables should have meaningful names, divisors need to be tested for zero, loop counters should be properly initialized, and there should not be endless loops.
