Answer to Question #251600 in Discrete Mathematics for Pung

Question

x = 1

What is the value of x after each of these statements

a. if x+2=3 then x:=x + 1

b. if (x+1=3) OR (2x+2=3) then x:=x+1

c. if (2x +3=5) AND (3x +4= 7) then x= x + 1

d. if (x+1=2) XOR (x+2=3) then x:=x+1

e. if x < 2 then x:=x + 1

Answer 1

a) $x=2$ ; statement x+2=1+2=3 is true, so x:= x+1=1+1=2

b) $x=1$ ; 1+1$\neq$ 3 and 2+2$\neq$ 3, so x=1

c) $x=2$ ; 2+3=5 and 2+4=7, so x:=x+1=2

d) $x=1$ ; (x+1=2) is true, (x+2=3) is true, true XOR true is false, so x=1

e) $x=2$ ; 1 < 2, so x:= x+1=2
