Solution

The variable X will represent the smallest integer among a, b, and c after the execution of the procedure.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: X is initialized to 0. This is the starting point.
  • Step 2: The procedure checks if a is less than b. If it is, it skips to step 4. If it's not, it proceeds to step 3.
  • Step 3: The procedure checks if b is less than c. If it is, b (which is the smallest number so far) is stored in X. If it's not, c (which is the smallest number so far) is stored in X. The procedure then stops.
  • Step 4: This step is only reached if a was less than b. The procedure checks if a is less than c. If it is, a (which is the smallest number so far) is stored in X. If it's not, c (which is the smallest number so far) is stored in X.

So, in all cases, X ends up storing the smallest integer among a, b, and c.
