Weekly Egg Count Nested Loop Worksheet Question

The document outlines a program that calculates the total number of eggs produced across three coops over a week, based on the number of hens and daily weather conditions. It describes a nested loop structure where the outer loop iterates over each coop and the inner loop processes daily egg production based on weather. The final output includes the completion message for each coop and the overall farm total of eggs produced.

Weekly Egg Count Across Coops — Nested Loop Worksheet

Trace the program below by hand, one line at a time. The outer loop repeats once per coop; the inner loop repeats
once per day of that coop's week. Notice that total_eggs is never reset — it keeps accumulating across every coop,
so each coop's running total should carry straight on from the last.

The program
START -> [1. total_eggs = 0]
|
[2. coop = 1]
|
+--- loop x3 (outer, one per coop) --------------------------+
| 3. hens = hens_in(coop) |
| 4. day = 1 |
| |
| +--- loop x7 (inner, one per day) ---------------+ |
| | 5. read weather(day) [RAIN or SUN] | |
| | 6. IF weather = RAIN | |
| | -> eggs = hens x 0.6 | |
| | ELSE | |
| | -> eggs = hens x 0.9 | |
| | 7. total_eggs = total_eggs + eggs | |
| | 8. day = day + 1 | |
| +-------------------------^----------------------------------+ |
| |
| 9. print "Coop " + coop + " done" |
| 10. coop = coop + 1 |
+--------------------------------^-------------------------------------+
|
[11. print "Farm total: " + total_eggs]
|
END

Coop data
Use the hen count and week of weather below as the inputs to steps 5 through 8 for each coop.

Coop 1 — hens = 10
Carry-in total_eggs from the previous coop (0 if this is the first): _______

Day weather(day) IF/ELSE branch eggs_today total_eggs (running)


1 SUN hens x 0.9 = 10 x 0.9

2 SUN hens x 0.9 = 10 x 0.9

3 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 10 x 0.6

4 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 10 x 0.6

5 SUN hens x 0.9 = 10 x 0.9

6 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 10 x 0.6


7 SUN hens x 0.9 = 10 x 0.9
Coop 2 — hens = 8
Carry-in total_eggs from the previous coop (0 if this is the first): _______

Day weather(day) IF/ELSE branch eggs_today total_eggs (running)

1 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 8 x 0.6

2 SUN hens x 0.9 = 8 x 0.9


3 SUN hens x 0.9 = 8 x 0.9

4 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 8 x 0.6

5 SUN hens x 0.9 = 8 x 0.9

6 SUN hens x 0.9 = 8 x 0.9

7 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 8 x 0.6

Coop 3 — hens = 12
Carry-in total_eggs from the previous coop (0 if this is the first): _______

Day weather(day) IF/ELSE branch eggs_today total_eggs (running)

1 SUN hens x 0.9 = 12 x 0.9

2 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 12 x 0.6

3 SUN hens x 0.9 = 12 x 0.9

4 SUN hens x 0.9 = 12 x 0.9

5 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 12 x 0.6

6 SUN hens x 0.9 = 12 x 0.9

7 RAIN hens x 0.6 = 12 x 0.6

Your answer
Print output (fill in as steps 9 and 11 would produce it):
Coop 1 done — running total after coop 1: _______
Coop 2 done — running total after coop 2: _______
Coop 3 done — running total after coop 3: _______
Farm total (from step 11): _______
Bonus: what would change in the diagram if each coop should print its own weekly subtotal instead of one running
farm total? Which step would need a reset, and where would you add it?
