Hi, I'm preparing for my Base Programming Exam and I'm stuck with one question from the Pass4Sure catalogue. The explanation doesn't really help:
The right answer is A. While I do understand why A doesn't produce a missing value in the last observation, I don't get why any of the other options should. I've pondered over this one for a while now but I'm not getting further. Especially option D should effectively do the same as A in my opinion.
I would appreciate your help!
options B and D use a simple totquantity + quantity calculation; they cause no automatic retain, always reference a missing value (totquantity), therefore the result will be missing.
option C is a simple syntax error.

Now I get it, thanks a lot!
