Help me please, computer science assignment due in 2day!?

Question

The following procedure was designed to compute the largest integer whose squre is no greater than N, where N is assumed to be a positive number. (if N is 5, then the procedure should report the vale 2.) Find and correct the error.

procedure squareroot (N)
X ← 0;
while (X(squared) < (or equal to) N) do
(X ← X + 1);
report the value of X

Answer 1

I won't give you the answer outright, but I will tell you to look at the conditional on your loop (the while).

Have fun.

Answer 2

To me your while loop will exits too late. So if N=5 then X will go to 2, go through the condition, assign X=X+1 and only then will fail the condition being equal 3. And 3 is returned.

Answer 3

If you sit down and step through the instructions until the end of the loop you will find the answer.
It will not take you long.
Start as suggested with N set to 5.
Now you continue.

Remember. The answer you should get is 2.

Answer 4

Heigh ho ! Who is there ?
No one but me, my dear.
Please come say, How do ?
The things I'll give to you.
By stroke as gentle as a feather
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
And tie the ends together.


Heigh ho ! I am here
Am I not young and fair ?
Please come say, How do ?
The things I'll show to you.
Would you have a wond'rous sight
The midday sun at midnight ?
Fair maid, white and red,
Comb you smooth and stroke your head
How a maid can milk a bull !
And every stroke a bucketful.

Answer 5

I would suggest you get off of the internet and study.

Answer 6

Should've done it sooner, then, shouldn't you, you lazy little sod.
