I have another debugging exercise I could use help with.

1. Find the error in the following pseudocode.

Declare Boolean finished = False

Declare Integer value, cube

While NOT finished

    Display "Enter a value to be cubed."

    Input value;

    Set cube = value^3

    Display value, " cubed is ", cube

End While

2. The programmer intended the following pseudocode to display the numbers 1 through 60, and then display the message “Time’s up!" It will not function as intended, however. Find the error.

Declare Integer counter = 1

Const Integer TIME_LIMIT = 60

While counter < TIME_LIMIT

    Display counter

    Set counter = counter + 1

End While

Display "Time's up!"

Explanation / Answer

1.It will print "Enter a value to be cubed" infinite values

because you didnt make finished as true in loop and the loop runs upto false condition infinitly

2.It will print from 1 to 59.It wont print 60 since in the loop condition

your counter condtion exits when counter =60.It will print if you make

while condtion

while counter <= TIME_LIMIT
