Question
What will be the output of the following pseudocode for a = 5, b = 1?Integer funn(Integer a, Integer b)if(b + a || a - b) && (b > a) && 1)a = a+b+b-2return 3-aElseEnd ifreturn a-b+1return a+b End function fun()Question 81AnswerA.11B.16C.5D.0
Solution
The pseudocode provided can be broken down as follows:
- The function
funntakes two integersaandbas input. - It first checks the condition
(b + a || a - b) && (b > a) && 1. Here,||is the logical OR operator and&&is the logical AND operator. The conditionb + a || a - bwill always be true because it checks if eitherb + aora - bis not zero. Sinceaandbare integers, at least one of these will always be non-zero. The conditionb > achecks ifbis greater thana. The&& 1part is always true because in most programming languages, 1 is considered as true. - If the condition is true, it executes
a = a+b+b-2and then returns3-a. - If the condition is false, it skips to the
Elsepart and returnsa-b+1. - The final
return a+bseems to be outside the function and will not be executed.
Now, let's substitute a = 5 and b = 1 into the pseudocode:
- The condition
(1 + 5 || 5 - 1) && (1 > 5) && 1simplifies to(6 || 4) && (false) && true, which further simplifies totrue && false, which isfalse. - Since the condition is false, it skips to the
Elsepart and returns5 - 1 + 1, which is5.
So, the output of the pseudocode for a = 5 and b = 1 is 5. Therefore, the answer is C.5.
