What is output by each of the pseudocode segments in Figure 5-25?

.

Step 1 of 7

a.

Consider the pseudocode segment given in the question.

The output produced by the pseudocode segment is as follows:

Explanation:

• The variable “a” is initialized to 1, “b” is initialized to 2 and “c” is initialized to 3.

• The while loop runs till the value of “a” is less than the value of “c”.

o The value of “a” is incremented by 1.

o The value of “b” is incremented by c i.e. every time “b” is incremented by 5.

• After the while loop, the pseudocode segment displays the value of “a” as 5, “b” as 25 and “c” as 5.
