CC stands for Carbon Copy in emails.
Answer:
6 2 and 0
Explanation:
This algorithm doesn't work if the list is not ordered ascending.
In this example it is not, and indeed the item "1" is never found.
first cycle: first=0, last=12 so midpoint=6
second cycle: first=0, last=5 so midpoint=2
last cycle: first=0, last=1 so midpoint=0
then last is assigned -1 so the while statement is no longer true.
Answer:
The program in Python is as follows:
num1 = int(input())
num2 = int(input())
if num1 >=0 and num2 >= 0:
print(num1+num2)
elif num1 <0 and num2 < 0:
print(num1*num2)
else:
if num1>=0:
print(num1**2)
else:
print(num2**2)
Explanation:
This gets input for both numbers
num1 = int(input())
num2 = int(input())
If both are positive, the sum is calculated and printed
<em>if num1 >=0 and num2 >= 0:</em>
<em> print(num1+num2)</em>
If both are negative, the products is calculated and printed
<em>elif num1 <0 and num2 < 0:</em>
<em> print(num1*num2)</em>
If only one of them is positive
else:
Calculate and print the square of num1 if positive
<em> if num1>=0:</em>
<em> print(num1**2)</em>
Calculate and print the square of num2 if positive
<em> else:</em>
<em> print(num2**2)</em>
