operators and operands

hello

according to my lecturer there are 9 distinct operators and 6 distinct operands in the following pseudo code:

max:=A[i]; i=2;
while i <= 10 do
begin
if A[i] > max then max:=A[i];
i:=i+1
end


could someone please tell me how he got those numbers (6 and 9) ?

thank you in advance.

There are 6 operands. There's an implicit operator in A[i], the addition of operand 'i' to the base address of the (operand) array A; I don't see that it's distinct from the '+' in 'i+1', though. He may think that <= is two operators, but if he does, he would be mistaken; it's a single assembly-language instruction, the inverse of '<'.

i found the correct answer already.

thank you.

Hi,

I'm new to programming and I need some help with this: I need to read from some 15 different text files, on disk, each having a set of ordered integers. I then need to combine all of them to form one ordered liste containing all the elements from the 15 text files. I also need to write the result in a file.

I have to use a heap-MIN algorithm with a time O(n log k), where k is the number of files, and n is the number of elements in the 15 files (400 elements).

Please post this as a new thread. Please read "How to Post A Question" before posting next time. Thank you.

Also avoid cross-posting. You put this same thing in C/C++. Didn't like the answers over there, or what?
