Question 1:
Consider the following pseudocode that merges two lists of numbers into one:
Merge0(List1, List2)
Set OUTlist to empty
While List1 is not empty OR List2 is not empty
If one list is empty and the other is not,
Remove the first number from the non-empty list and add it to OUTlist
If both lists are non-empty,
Remove the first number from List1 and add it to OUTlist
Remove the first number from List2 and add it to OUTlist
Return OUTlist
If ListA is [1, 3, 5] and ListB is [2, 4, 6] then what is the result of Merge0 (ListA, Merge0 (ListB,
ListA))? - CORRECT ANSWER: [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5 ]
Step 1:
To solve this, we need to understand how the Merge0 function works. It merges two lists by
taking the first element of each list and adding it to the output list in ascending order. If one list is
empty and the other is not, it removes the first element from the non-empty list and adds it to the
output list.
Using the given example, we have:
ListA = [1, 3, 5]
,ListB = [2, 4, 6]
Now, let's analyze the innermost function Merge0(ListB, ListA):
1. OUTlist = empty
2. OUTlist = [2]
3. OUTlist = [2, 1]
4. OUTlist = [2, 1, 4]
5. OUTlist = [2, 1, 4, 3]
6. OUTlist = [2, 1, 4, 3, 6]
7. OUTlist = [2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5]
8. ListA is now empty, so we return OUTlist = [2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5]
Step 2:
Now, let's use the result of Merge0(ListB, ListA) as the second argument for the outer Merge0
function. So we have:
List1 = ListA = [1, 3, 5]
List2 = Merge0(ListB, ListA) = [2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5]
Using the Merge0 function with these lists, we have:
1. OUTlist = empty
2. OUTlist = [1]
3. OUTlist = [1, 2]
4. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3]
5. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1]
6. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5]
7. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4]
8. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3]
9. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 6]
10. OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5]
11. return OUTlist = [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5]
,Therefore, the result of Merge0(ListA, Merge0(ListB, ListA)) is [1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5].

Question 2:
Given this pseudocode:
S = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20}
x=2
While(x<11):
For i in S:
If 0 ≡ i mod x and i ≠ x:
delete i from S
end-If
end-For
x=x+1
end-While
What is S at the end of this code? - CORRECT ANSWER: {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
This code is nothing but finding the prime numbers from the given set.
Start from x = 2
1) When x = 2, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 2 and i ≠ 2 i.e
multiples of 2 except 2. So we remove {4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}
x = x+1
2) When x = 3, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 3 and i ≠ 3 i.e
multiples of 3 except 3. So we remove {6, 9, 12, 15, 18}
x = x+1
, 3) When x = 4, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 4 and i ≠ 4 i.e
multiples of 4 except 4. So we remove {8, 12, 16, 20}
x = x+1
4) When x = 5, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 5 and i ≠ 5 i.e
multiples of 5 except 5. So we remove {10, 15, 20}
x = x+1
5) When x = 6, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 6 and i ≠ 6 i.e
multiples of 6 except 6. So we remove {12, 18}
x = x+1
6) When x = 7, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 7 and i ≠ 7 i.e
multiples of 7 except 7. So we remove {14}
x = x+1
7) When x = 8, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 8 and i ≠ 8 i.e
multiples of 8 except 8. So we remove {16}
x = x+1
8) When x = 9, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 9 and i ≠ 9 i.e
multiples of 9 except 9. So we remove {18}
x = x+1
9) When x = 10, we have to delete that elements from S which satisfy 0 == i mod 10 and i ≠ 10
i.e multiples of 10 except 10. So we remove {20}
x = x+1
Now x = 11, we break the while loop and the program is terminated.
So, after deleting the above elements, we are left with
{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
