Quick Check and MCQ Answers

Reference Guide Quick Check: A, B, B — for is best for traversing a known list, continue skips only the current pass, and a while loop must have a condition that can change and eventually become false.

Homework Hack: Server Load Monitor

This checker uses nine values, two thresholds, continue, break, and multiple summary values.
