Lab #10
For labs meeting March 30-31, 2000
The purpose of this lab exercise is to give you some experience in working
with procedures that have input and output parameters, and with general
and WHILE loop forms.
A. Write and test a program that prompts the user for a positive integer
N, then displays all the powers of 2 that are not greater than N. Display
each value on a separate line. For example, if N = 3000, the program will
display
1
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
2048
This program must have the following characteristics:
-
Use Robust_Input (programs 7.9 and 7.10) to get the value N robustly
from the user.
-
Use the procedure Double (p. 284) instead of explicitly multiplying
a value by 2. Include Double as a local procedure in the main
program.
-
Use a general loop form (LOOP - EXIT - END LOOP)
to control the iteration. Do not use a FOR loop!
B. Now change the program to use a WHILE loop instead.
