The problem is to trace the execution of a given pseudo code and determine the output. The pseudo code initializes a variable $j$ to 1, then enters a `Do While` loop that continues as long as $j < 4$. Inside the loop, the current value of $j$ is printed, and then $j$ is updated with the formula $j = j * j + 1$.

1. Problem Description

The problem is to trace the execution of a given pseudo code and determine the output. The pseudo code initializes a variable jj to 1, then enters a `Do While` loop that continues as long as j<4j < 4. Inside the loop, the current value of jj is printed, and then jj is updated with the formula j=jj+1j = j * j + 1.

2. Solution Steps

Initially, j=1j = 1.
- The `Do While` loop condition is j<4j < 4.
- Iteration 1:
- Condition: 1<41 < 4 is true, so the loop executes.
- Print j=1j = 1.
- Update jj: j=jj+1=11+1=1+1=2j = j * j + 1 = 1 * 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.
- jj is now
2.
- Iteration 2:
- Condition: 2<42 < 4 is true, so the loop executes.
- Print j=2j = 2.
- Update jj: j=jj+1=22+1=4+1=5j = j * j + 1 = 2 * 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5.
- jj is now
5.
- Iteration 3:
- Condition: 5<45 < 4 is false, so the loop terminates.

3. Final Answer

The output of the pseudo code is:
1
2
