Question 38

State how many times the subroutine DISPENSE will be called with the parameter 'water' if the user input is 'dry' in Figure 1.

Figure 1

1      dryness_level ← USERINPUT
2      IF dryness_level = 'damp' THEN
3          cycles ← 3
4      ELSE IF dryness_level = 'dry' THEN
5          cycles ← 7
6      ELSE IF dryness_level = 'arid' THEN
7          cycles ← 11
8      ELSE
9          OUTPUT 'invalid reading'
10     ENDIF
11     FOR k ← 1 TO cycles
12         IF k <= 3 THEN
13             DISPENSE('fertilizer')
14         ELSE
15             DISPENSE('water')
