This document contains 4 solutions analyzing the properties of an undefined mathematical procedure. Solution a states the procedure is not finite. Solution b states the procedure is not effective because it cannot perform the step of dividing 1 by 0. Solution c states the procedure lacks definiteness as the value of i is never set. Solution d states the procedure lacks definiteness as it does not specify if the result x should be set to a or b.

b) Sol: This procedure is not effective, because the step m: = 1/n cannot be performed when n = 0, which will eventually be the case. c) Sol: This procedure lacks definiteness, since the value of i is never set. d) Sol: This procedure lacks definiteness, since the statement does not tell whether x is to be set equal to a or to b.
