Question 12

An automated climate control system uses a temperature sensor to manage a greenhouse environment.

Figure 1 shows the algorithm used by the system.

Figure 1

1      temp ← GET_TEMPERATURE()
2      IF NOT(temp <= 16.5) AND temp < 28.0 THEN
3          OUTPUT "Active"
4      ELSEIF temp <= 16.5 AND temp >= 5.0 THEN
5          OUTPUT "Dormant"
6      ELSE
7          OUTPUT "Alarm"
8      ENDIF

Rewrite line 2 from the algorithm in Figure 1 without using the NOT operator.

The algorithm must still have the same functionality.
