Introduction to Computers & Programming

If `n1`, `n2`, and `n3` are equal to 5, 7, and 1, respectively, what is the output of the following pseudocode:

```
INPUT n1, n2, and n3
IF n1 > n2
    temp = n1
ELSE
    temp = n2
IF n3 > temp
    num = n3
ELSE 
    num = temp
OUTPUT num
```

If <code>n1</code>, <code>n2</code>, and <code>n3</code> are equal to 5, 7, and 1, respectively, what is the output of the following pseudocode:
<pre><code>INPUT n1, n2, and n3
IF n1 &gt; n2
 temp = n1
ELSE
 temp = n2
IF n3 &gt; temp
 num = n3
ELSE 
 num = temp
OUTPUT num
</code></pre>

```
INPUT n
IF n == 0
 OUTPUT zero
IF n >=0
 OUTPUT positive
IF n < 0
 OUTPUT negative
```

```
INPUT n
IF n == 0
 OUTPUT zero
IF n > 0
 OUTPUT positive
IF n < 0
 OUTPUT negative
```

```
INPUT n
IF n == 0
   OUTPUT zero
ELSE-IF n > 0
   OUTPUT positive
ELSE
   OUTPUT negative
```

Which of the following options contain the correct pseudocode to determine if a number *n* is positive, negative, or zero? Choose multiple options if they apply.

What is the output of the pseudocode below if you buy a pair of jeans? (`item` = jeans, `quantity` = 1)
```
INPUT item and quantity
If item == shirt
    discount = 20%
ELSE
    IF quantity >= 5
        discount = 30%
    ELSE
        discount = 5%
OUTPUT discount
```

What is the output of the pseudocode below if you buy a pair of jeans? (<code>item</code> = jeans, <code>quantity</code> = 1)
<pre><code>INPUT item and quantity

ELSE
 IF quantity &gt;= 5
 discount = 30%
 ELSE
 discount = 5%
OUTPUT discount
</code></pre>
