Task 1

What is the output for the following pseudocode? Given a set of data, show your steps that lead you to the end result.

Here’s an example:   

Given.

d = 1
e = 2
f = 5

while d<f

d= d+1

e=e+f

endwhile

output d,e,f

Show your work:

Start with 1. 1 is less than 5

1st execution:

2 = 1+1
7 = 2+5

5=5

2nd execution:

Start with 2. 2 is less than 5

3=2+1

12=7+5

5=5

3rd execution:
Start with 3. 3 is less than 5

4 = 3+1
17=12+5
5=5

4th execution:

Start with 4. 4 is less than 5

5=4+1
22=17+5

5=5

5th execution:

Start with 5. 5 is NOT less than 5.

Execution stops and output results in:

Final Answer:

5,22,5

Explanation / Answer

Consider the data as
d = 5
e = 4
f = 10

First execution
d<f 5< 10 false
Control will not go inside while loop and value remains unchanged

Output 5,4,10

Consider data set
d = 2
e = 6
f = 10

First iteration
d<f i.e 2<10 true
d = d+1 : d = 2+1
d= 3
e = e+f
e = 6+10
e = 16

Second iteration
d<f i.e 3<10 true
d = d+1
d = 3+1
d= 4

e = e+f
e = 16+10
e = 26

Third Iteration
d<f: 4<10 true
d = d+1
d = 4+1
d = 5

e =e + f
e = 26+10
e = 36

Fourth Iteration
d<f : 5<10
d = d+1
d = 6
e= e+ f
e = 36+10
e = 46

Fifh Iteration
d<f : 6<10 true
d = 6+1
d = 7
e = e+ f
e = 46+10
e = 56

Sixth Iteration
d<f : 7<10 true;
d = 7+1
d = 8
e= e+f
e= 56+10
e = 66

Seventh Iteration
d<f : 8<10 true
d = 8+1
d = 9
e = e+f
e = 66+10
e = 76

Eight Iteration
d<f : 9<10 true
d = d+1
d = 9+1
d = 10

e =e + f
e = 76+10
e = 86

Ninth Iteration
d<f : 10<10 false
exit loop

Output : d,e,f
i.e 10,86,10
