Help with understanding the answer

Question

I'm studying for CLE – C Certified Entry-Level Programmer certification. One of the model test question is:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int i, t[4] = {1, 2, 4, 8};
for (i = 0; i < 2; i++)
t[i] = t[3 - i];

printf("%d", t[2]);
return 0;
}

My result was 4, with following logic: t[0]=1-> 8, t[1]=2->4, t[3] and t[4] are unchanged as i should be lower than 2.
However the test expects result of 1, like if the conditiom "i<2" wasn't there. Am I making a mistake?

Answer 1

PS. I tried ChatGPT to help me but it says my answer is correct.

Answer 2

Is it possible for anyone to view the problem without signing up for the certification? if so, can you please attach link to the page describing the problem. This is in order for verification purposes only.

I also would say you were right given the snippet shown was legit as shown in the problem's page.

Answer 3

You need to register (free account) on edube.org. It's one of the questions from Module4 C Essentials. The questions are randomized each time you take the test so I can't post exact link, just screenshot.

Answer 4

It seems right to me as well. I even tested it on C++, the result was 4. Try asking your prof/mentor regarding your concern. Run it on IDE and show him/her the result.

Try contacting them (edube.org) to notify them about this. Had this been true, they should fix it, if they care about their contents and reputation as certificate issuer.

SoloLearn Discuss forum has its own scope about topics to discuss I'm sure you understand that - SoloLearn and edube.org are not related thus discussing edube.org related stuffs here feels somewhat irrelevant :)

I stood by the point that your answer be correct while the problem (in test) is genuine as you described.
