How many statements are in the following PROC PRINT step?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the provided image of the SAS code for the PROC PRINT step, the following statements are present:

proc print data=sashelp.cars; - PROC PRINT step beginning

var Make Model MSRP MPG_City MPG_Highway Horsepower Weight; - VAR statement to specify variables to print

format Weight comma8.; - FORMAT statement to apply a format to a variable

The final run; statement which would be necessary to execute the PROC PRINT step is not visible in the image, but it can be inferred to be there since every PROC step must be ended with a run; or quit; statement.

Thus, there are four statements related to the PROC PRINT step.

D) 1 seems too obvious. I'm going with B) 3 just to be different.

I feel like there’s definitely more than 1 statement, but I can’t recall the exact count right now.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I could be mixing it up with another PROC step we practiced.

This one seems straightforward. I'm just going to quickly scan through the code and count the individual statements. Yep, definitely 1 statement in that PROC PRINT step.

Okay, I see the PROC PRINT statement, the VAR statement, and the RUN statement. That's 3, right? I'm pretty confident in that.

Hmm, let me take a closer look at that PROC PRINT step. I think I can count the statements, but I want to be sure I'm not missing anything.
