Lol this was the same question we got when I did COMP last year.

Lol this was the same question we got when I did COMP last year.

It is from last year, semester 1 paper. Richard has just released it.

AD:

=== Question 9 ===

(4 Marks)

When the following code is compiled and executed it eventually executes
the printf and terminates. What value does it print?


#include <stdio.h>
#define NINE 9

int nine (int Nein);
int nein (int nein);
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {

...int Nine = 3;
...printf ("%d\n", nine (Nine));
...return !NINE;
}

int nein (int nein) {
...return ( !(nein == ((NINE*nein) % NINE)) );
}

int nine (int Nein) {
...int Nine = NINE;
...while (nein (Nine)) {
......Nine += Nein;
......Nine = Nine % NINE;
...}
...return Nine;
}

I was told this question popped up then someone posted up a hitler vid going "nein, nein,..." in the forums section then Buckland replied to it and everyone lol'ed.

Syntax is so confusing.

But all I got out of it (from a pure guess of the order of events) that the output is 27 or 36.

there might be a chance they allow you to sit the supp, according to the conditions here http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs1927/14s2/lecs/week12tue/slide031.html

looks like there's some hope...only if my mark assessment was greater than 40..

If you feel that worried and worse comes to worse then if you want to repeat in the summer, enrol in it now and drop before the census date if you passed. I guess its better to prepare for the worst just in case.
