Study Notes

Code Segments and Variable Swapping

The program swaps the value of x and y using a temporary variable temp.
The code segment temp ← x; x ← y; y ← temp is used for swapping.

User Input and Display

The program displays "What is your name?" and waits for user input.
The input is stored in name and then displayed with "Hello".
If the user inputs "Karel", the output will be "What is your name? Hello Karel".

Procedures and Conditional Statements

The Mystery procedure returns whether a number is even using the modulo operator %.
The code segment IF (b = 0) { ... } ELSE { ... } is used for conditional statements.

Program Flow and Display

The program will display "Dog Turtle" as a result of the conditional statements.
The Mystery procedure is called with an input of 3, resulting in "WOW !!!".

Random Number Generation

The program generates random numbers x between 1 and 10, and y between 10 and 20.
The program displays the result of x = y, which can be true or false.

List Operations

The Mystery procedure returns whether or not a word is in a list.
The procedure iterates through the list and returns true if the word is found, and false otherwise.

Counting and Indexing

The Mystery procedure returns the maximum count of consecutive occurrences of a word in a list.
The procedure iterates through the list and updates the maximum count.

Arithmetic Operations

The Mystery procedure returns the result of multiplying a number by 5.
The procedure uses a repeat loop to add the number to a result variable 5 times.

Nested Loops and Counting

The Mystery procedure returns the result of multiplying two numbers.
The procedure uses nested repeat loops to increment a result variable.

Input and Output Procedures

The Mystery procedure returns the input value.
The procedure uses a repeat loop to increment a result variable by 1 for each input.

List Filtering

The Mystery procedure filters a list based on a condition.
The procedure iterates through the list and appends items that meet the condition to a result list.

List Transformation

The Mystery procedure transforms a list by applying a function to each item.
The procedure iterates through the list and appends the result of the function to a result list.
