Transcript text: What is the value of $y$ after the following lines of code are executed?
\[
\begin{array}{l}
x:=5 \\
y:=8 \\
y:=x+3
\end{array}
\]
Ex: 1
Solution
Solution Steps
Solution Approach
Initialize the variable x with the value 5.
Initialize the variable y with the value 8.
Update the value of y to be the sum of x and 3.
Step 1: Initialize Variables
Set \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 8 \).
Step 2: Update Variable \( y \)
Calculate the new value of \( y \) using the expression \( y = x + 3 \). Substituting the value of \( x \):
\[
y = 5 + 3 = 8
\]
