Instructions: Review the following program and see if you can predict the outcome by completing a "pencil trace" of the code. Program output is provided at the end of this page. Compiler: The program was prepared using GWBasic, which requires the use of line numbers.
10 REM This program demonstrates a simple FOR X = Y to Z loop.
20 X = 1
30 Y = 3
40 FOR Z = X TO Y
50 PRINT "Z = "; Z 'Notice how this line is indented.
60 NEXT Z
99 END
10000 REM And the answer is ...
10010 REM Z = 1
10020 REM Z = 2
10030 REM Z = 3
