FC0-U71 Practice Question: A programmer is writing an if-else statement to…

A programmer is writing an if-else statement to check if a user is an admin. The code should set a variable 'accessLevel' to 'full' if admin, else 'restricted'. Which code snippet accomplishes this?

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA often tests the confusion between the assignment operator (=) and the equality operator (==), as well as the tendency to misread the logic and swap the true/false branches.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

if (isAdmin == true) { accessLevel = 'full'; } else { accessLevel = 'restricted'; }

Ly uses the equality operator (==) to compare isAdmin to the boolean value true. If the condition evaluates to true, accessLevel is set to 'full'; otherwise, it is set to 'restricted'. This matches the requirement exactly.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    if (isAdmin == true) { accessLevel = 'full'; } else { accessLevel = 'restricted'; }

    Why this is correct

    Correctly assigns full if admin, restricted otherwise.

  • ✗

    if (isAdmin == false) { accessLevel = 'full'; } else { accessLevel = 'restricted'; }

    Why it's wrong here

    This gives full access only when not admin.

  • ✗

    if (isAdmin = true) { accessLevel = 'full'; } else { accessLevel = 'restricted'; }

    Why it's wrong here

    = is assignment, not comparison; this assigns true to isAdmin and always enters if block.

  • ✗

    if (isAdmin == true) { accessLevel = 'restricted'; } else { accessLevel = 'full'; }

    Why it's wrong here

    The assignments are reversed; admin gets restricted.
