Assignment 6 – pseudocode

The document outlines Assignment 6 for a CS101 course, focusing on interpreting and writing algorithms in pseudo-code. It includes tasks such as analyzing a given pseudo-code algorithm, writing an algorithm to add two-digit numbers, and determining the output of an algorithm that processes an array. Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of conditional statements, iteration, and algorithm tracing.

Assignment 6 – pseudo-code
SKIPPED – you will receive full credit

is assignment is an individual activity. It asks you to interpret and write algorithms
using the pseudo-code notation we have studied in class.

1. Read the pseudo-code below and answer the questions that follow.

step 1. let Y be X + 5
step 2. if Y > 0 then set X to Y * 2
step 3. set X to X * 3
step 4. output X

a. Does this algorithm contain a conditional statement? If so, which one?

b. Does this algorithm contain iteration? If so, which steps repeat?

c. Trace the algorithm with the input X = 4. What does it output?

d. Trace the algorithm with the input X = -3. What does it output?

e. Trace the algorithm with the input X = -7. What does it output?

2. In this problem, you will write down an algorithm to add two-digit numbers in base
ten. As shown in the figure, your input variables are X₁, X₀, Y₁, and Y₀. Each variable
holds a single-digit integer.

When your algorithm is finished, the answer should be in the variables Z₂, Z₁, and Z₀
– each holding a single digit. For example, if I want to add 56+94, the algorithm will
start with

X1 = 5 X0 = 6
Y1 = 9 Y0 = 4

and in the end, the Z variables will have the result:

Z2 = 1 Z1 = 5 Z0 = 0

Your algorithm should work for any single-digits provided in the input variables.

3. Here, C refers to a sequence of variables (an array), and the notation C[I] uses the value
of I to determine which C to access.

step 1. set K to C[1]


step 2. set N to 1
step 3. set I to 2
step 4. if I > 7 then output N then K and stop
step 5. if C[I] = K then set N to N+1 and go to step 9
step 6. output N then K
step 7. set K to C[I]
step 8. set N to 1
step 9. set I to I+1
step 10. go back to step 4.

Below are the initial values of the array, and other variables you will use.

K :
N :
I :
C[1] : apple
C[2] : apple
C[3] : banana
C[4] : carrot
C[5] : carrot
C[6] : carrot
C[7] : date

What is the output of the algorithm?
