Question
Perform a paper and pencil trace of the specified code. Execute the program as if you are the CPU and state the output exactly as if the computer exectued it. You must be able to successfully answer these types of questions using a paper and a pencil!
For example: In the first iteration of the loop, the value of someVariable1 is blah blah, the value of someVariable2 is blah blah. In the second iteration of the loop, the value of someVariable1 is.....
By doing this for the first two or three iterations, you should be able to generalize and then give a couple of sentences, what you expect the final answer (if any?) to be. If the loop does not terminate, that is it runs in an infinite loop, then explain why do you think that is the case.
Explanation / Answer
When i=0 then the A[I]=A[I]*2=2,A[0]=2;
when i=1 then if condition is executed the value of A[1]=2;
when i=2 then else condition is executed the value of A[2]=A[2]*2=6;
when i=3 then if is executed value of A[3]=4;
when i=4 then else if condition is executed and control comes out of loop.But the values of A[4] and A[5] are unchanged.
The final loop prints all the values of array A as 2,2,6,4,5,6.
There are no infinite loops.
