2. Variables are computer memory locations that hold a data value. At any given time a
variable can only hold a single value. The value of a variable can vary (change) as a
program executes.

(i) State the value of X when each of the steps in the program is executed. What is
the program output?

Program Value of X

(1) 100

(2) 500
(1)
(3) 501
(2)
(4) Y=1002, X=501
(3)
(5) 501
(4) Output is
X=501 y=1002
(5)

(ii) State the value of X when each of the steps in the program is executed. What is
the program output?

Program Value of X

(1) 100

(2)101
(1)
(3)505
(2)
(4)y=1010
(3)
(5)505
(4)
