Section II: Trace and Truth Table

1. Using the following algorithm, complete a copy of the trace table given that X = 4. Note that the first row
has been done for you. (9 marks)

(b) What kind of Loop is used in the above algorithm? (2 marks)

For Loop

2. A room is monitored by a temperature sensor and a smoke sensor. These sensors are connected to
an alarm. If the temperature is too high, the alarm is sounded. If smoke is detected, then the alarm is
sounded.

Suppose:
High temperature or presence of smoke is represented by 1
Normal temperature or no smoke is represented by 0
Sounding the alarm is represented by 1
No alarm is represented by 0

Complete the following table which will determine when to sound the alarm.
