I got this question in a programming test. Do you think this question is even correct? Look at the answer choices. (2^x means 2 raised to x)
Consider the following pseudocode.
x := 1;
i := 1;
while (x >= 1000)
begin
x := 2^x;
i := i + 1;
end;
What is the value of i at the end of the pseudocode?
a) 4
b) 5
c) 6
d) 7
e) 8
I am sure that the value of i will 1. I told the examiner of the discrepancy and he advised me the leave the question unanswered if I felt it was incorrect. What else could I have done?
