Question

Suppose we initially assign ""x := 1"" and then execute the statement ""if p(x) then x := 1"". what is the value of x after the the statement is executed?

Answer 1

The value of x will be 1 after the execution of the statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x after the execution of the statement "if p(x) then x := 1" will depend on the value of the predicate p(x).

1. If the predicate p(x) is true, then the value of x will remain as 1.
2. If the predicate p(x) is false, then the value of x will not be changed, and it will still be 1.

In both cases, the value of x will be 1 after the execution of the statement.
