Question 34

Complete the trace table for the subroutine call optimize_signal(142).

You may not need to use all the rows in the table.

SUBROUTINE optimize_signal(strength)
  s ← strength
  c ← 1
  REPEAT
    s ← s DIV 5
    c ← c * 3
  UNTIL s < 5
  OUTPUT c
ENDSUBROUTINE

The DIV operator is used for integer division (e.g., 28 DIV 5 evaluates to 5).
