Question

Write a Bare Bones program that takes as input two variables X and Y. (Again, assume these values are set before your program begins to execute.) Your program should place a 0 in the variable Z if the variable X is less than or equal to Y, and your program should place a 1 in the variable Z if the variable X is greater than Y.

Answer 1

#The program sets Z to 0 if the X <= Y. otherwise sets Z to 1 , if the X > Y.

clear Z; # sets Z to 0

clear U; # sets U to 0

clear V; # sets v to 0

clear T; # sets T to 0

while Y not 0 # repeat until Y times

# process to decrement Y by 1

while Y not 0

incr U;

decr Y;

decr U;

while U not 0

incr Y;

decr U;

#process to decrement X by 1

while X not 0

incr V

decr X;

while V not 0

decr V;

while V not 0

incr T;

decr V;

while T not 0

incr X

decr T

#end of main while loop

#after running the main while loop, X will be positive and non - zero number, # #if X > Y. otherwise X and Y will be zero.

#process to increment Z by 1, if X is positive and non - zero number

while X not 0

while X not 0

decr X;

incr Z;

#end of while

Step-by-step explanation:

The program is totakes in as input two variables X and Y.

The main function of the program is to return or place a 0 in the variable Z if the variable X is less than or equal to Y, and place a 1 in the variable Z if the variable X is greater than Y.

When these conditions are met, end program.

Answer 2

import java.util.Scanner;

public class num8 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter first number");

int X = in.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter second number");

int Y = in.nextInt();

int Z;

if(X <= Y){

Z = 0;

}

else if(X >= Y){

Z = 1;

}

}

}

Step-by-step explanation:

• The program is implemented in Java
• In order to set the values for X and Y, The Scanner class is used to receive and store the values in the variables (Although the questions says you should assume these values are set)
• The if conditional statement is used to assign values (either 0 or 1) to variable Z as required by the question.
