Question

What is the value of count after the last iteration of the outer for loop? Be sure to show your work.

count :=0

For i= 1 to 2

For j=1 to 2

count :=j(count-i)

End-for

End-for

Answer 1

count := -16

Explanation:

Let's compute this step by step

count starts at 0

Then i is equal to 1

Then j = 1

count := 1(0-1) := -1

Now j = 2

count := 2(-1-1) := -4

Now i =2 and j = 1

count := 1(-4-2) = -6

Now j = 2

count := 2(-6-2) = -16

End

End

So, after the last iteration of the outer for loop, count is equals to -16.
