i need some help i kind of dont understand i just need some more explanation there are 14 questions but i just need some more explanation

Assume that the following variables contain the values shown:

numberBig = 300

numberMedium = 100

numberSmall = 5

wordBig = "Elephant"

wordMedium = "Horse"

wordSmall = "bug"

For each of the pseudocode Boolean expressions decide whether the statement is true, false, or illegal.

the first one and second one is

1. numberBig = numberSmall
a True
b False
c Illegal
d No answer text provided.

2. numberMedium <= numberBig / 3
a True
b False
c Illegal
d No answer text provided.

the first and second one should be b or d but there is no evidence to back up on wht the statement is asking i dont really know need help

thanks

What do you mean by illegal?

[Master]

i dont know that what it says

its for pseudo code practice

Number 2 is true, if number 1 is asking if they're equal (==) then that would be false but if it's an assignment (=) then it's an illegal Boolean expression. It's pseudo code so Im not sure tho.

[Sorrow]

The first one is Illegal, assuming that its a comparison, the syntax is incorrect, the second one is True.

Take for example the IF condition on the following image which is comparing the node.lowlink with the node.index as if node.lowlink == node.index.

That's easy I think

Tbh i'm pretty sure both are false because for number 2. you have numbermedium <= Number big /3
since its psuedocode i would assume all u would do is sub in values to check correctness ( i did something like this in class the other day) so it would be 100 <= 300/3 which is basically 100 <= 100 which is false......if u get what i'm saying

P.s I could be wrong but thats what i did for minez and got it right

[Leaf]

100<=100 is true... (100=100)

[SmG Hawk]

100 <= 100

<= Less than OR equal to. Therefore it would be true.

Aight, coming from a guy whose about to take Real Analysis next term I confirm that 100 <= 100 is true.

Now, let me rethink my life and try to figure out why i didn't use ratemyprofessor before I registered the class.
