any programmers out there? i have an algorithm assignment and i'm kind of having troubles understanding some of it, yes it is easy but i ain't really a pro at this stuff

1)
Begin
  get Num (an integer) from user
  set Count to 0
  While Count < Num
    set Temp to Count + 1
    print Temp
    increment Count
  Endwhile
  Print Count
End

What is the output after the users enter a value of 3 - I assume it is 3?
"" value of -1 - Nothing right? Since the Num is greater than the count.

2)
Begin
  read A
  While A > 0
    set Answer to 'No'
    If A > 8 Then
    set Answer to 'Yes'
  Endif
  print Answer
  Read A
  EndWhile
End

If 8, 3 then 0 were read in sequence, what would the output be - I have no idea what this means.

3) Write an algorithm in both psuedocode and flowchart that will print out the first 20 odd numbers.
Something simple I imagine, some sort of loop?

4) Write an algorithm in "" that will allow you to enter a student's name, enter 4 test marks out of 10 then print out the student's name and the average of the 4 tests.
I assume there will be an input, a loop for inputting marks and the print of the name and the mean of the marks?

help, i suck at this badly.

algorithm 1 prints all the positive integers less than or equal to the input, then print the input itself (cus of the "Print Count" after the while loop) ,so if you input 3, you get 1 2 3 3. If you input -1, you get -1

if you inputted -1 wouldn't it be just a print count of 0 because if the count is set to 0, the loop is skipped since your number is -1?

Insead of dumping your entire homework into your blog, why don't you just specifically tell us what you are having trouble with. And like you pointed out, input of -1 gives output of 0, because that is what the count variable was initiated as and it hasnt been changed.

i = 1
while i < 42
print i
increment i by 2

Us telling you the output isn't gonna help you out much.

My suggestion if you are having trouble is to do a desk check, i.e. go through the algorithm step by step and write down the variables and their values at each point, and any output the algorithm generates.
Their are four errors in this sentance.

For number 3, in scheme:

STk> (define (waa)
(define (wee x)
(if (= x 20)
nil
(cons (+ 1 (* 2 x)) (wee (+ x 1)))))
(wee 0))
waa

STk> (waa)
(1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39)

I'll explain:
(waa) is a loop, it basically runs another recursive function w/ input of 1, this function is called wee

How wee work:
wee is a function that takes input, that are actually indexes of the odd number, 1 would be indexed 0, 3 is 1, 5 is 2 on the index, and so on...

if input=20, gives nothing, so it terminates.
if input<20, add to the front of the array (2*input + 1), the corresponding odd number to the index, and recursively construct the rest of the array with input+1, the next index.

I dunno if its clear ~~

If we ever worked on a programming project together, I would probably have to kill you. wee and waa are not good names for things unless you are trying to make code unreadable on purpose.

You can't close a break tag like that... its a singular tag, it doesn't enclose anything (and the proper way to do it would be <br /> )

Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?
