Question

When a READ statement is executed, the values in the data list are assigned _________ to the variable names in the READ statement

Answer 1

Answer: consecutively.
The DATA statement is used in conjunction with the READ statement. The data specified by DATA statements is stored in a data list in the computer’s memory. READ statements cause data to be read from the data list in the DATA statement and assigned the variable names specified in the READ statements.
When a READ statement is executed, the values in the data list are assigned consecutively to the variable names in the READ statement.
