Pseudo Code

Problem Statement

Given three integers a, b, and c, execute the following operations:

1. Set initial values: a = 8, b = 3, c = 10.
2. Update c using the formula: c = (b^b) + c.
3. Further update c using the formula: c = (c + c) + c.
4. Print the sum of a, b, and c.

Pseudo Code

Declare integer a, b, c

Set a = 8
Set b = 3
Set c = 10

# Calculate b^b and update c
c = (b ^ b) + c  # In many languages, ^ denotes exponentiation

# Update c with the new value
c = (c + c) + c  # This is equivalent to c = 3 * c

# Calculate and print the sum of a, b, and c
Print a + b + c

Explanation of Pseudo Code

1. Initialization of Variables:

   • Set a to 8.
   • Set b to 3.
   • Set c to 10.

2. First Update to c:

   • Calculate b raised to the power of b (which is 3^3 = 27).
   • Add this result to c. Now, c = 27 + 10.

3. Second Update to c:

   • For the value of c obtained after the first update (which is 37), perform the operation (c + c) + c.
   • This results in c = (37 + 37) + 37 = 111.

4. Output:

   • Calculate the sum of a, b, and c (i.e., 8 + 3 + 111).
   • Print the result.

Conclusion

The pseudo code clearly outlines the steps and updates performed on the variables. This serves as a basic roadmap for implementing the solution in any programming language.
