1. Problem Description

The first problem asks us to find the value of the variable ZZ after the execution of the given pseudocode. The pseudocode involves a `while` loop.
The second problem asks us to find the output value of aa after the execution of the given pseudocode, which contains a `repeat` loop.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 38:
We trace the execution of the pseudocode:
- Initially, a=1a = 1 and b=1b = 1.
- The `while` loop condition is a=ba = b, which is true initially.
- Inside the loop:
- a=a+1a = a + 1, so a=1+1=2a = 1 + 1 = 2.
- b=b+2b = b + 2, so b=1+2=3b = 1 + 2 = 3.
- Z=a+bZ = a + b, so Z=2+3=5Z = 2 + 3 = 5.
- The loop condition a=ba = b becomes 2=32 = 3, which is false.
- The `while` loop terminates.
- `Display Z` outputs the value of ZZ, which is
5.
Problem 39:
We trace the execution of the pseudocode:
- Initially, a=10a = 10 and c=2c = 2.
- The `repeat` loop begins:
- c=c+1c = c + 1, so c=2+1=3c = 2 + 1 = 3.
- a=a+ca = a + c, so a=10+3=13a = 10 + 3 = 13.
- The `until` condition is (c>3)(c > 3), which means the loop continues until cc becomes greater than

3. Currently, $c = 3$, so the condition is false, and the loop continues.

- c=c+1c = c + 1, so c=3+1=4c = 3 + 1 = 4.
- a=a+ca = a + c, so a=13+4=17a = 13 + 4 = 17.
- The `until` condition is (c>3)(c > 3), which is 4>34 > 3, which is true.
- The `repeat` loop terminates.
- `Print a` outputs the value of aa, which is
1
7.
