Consider the following code, assuming that i, x, and n are integers, with n ≥ 0. • State a non-trivial loop invariant (which must include conditions for i and x). • Prove the loop invariant. Be sure that the proof includes the final conditions after the loop has ended. • Note: a correct proof of an incorrect invariant will still receive partial credit. Give the final value of x in terms of n. • Note: (for the sake of readability) the value 2² in the code below is 2 to the power of i. • Note: I or symbol (with ranges) meaning product or sum of terms can be used as part of loop invariant.

Not part of an assignment, just want to understand the topic better

 

Consider the following code, assuming that i, x, and n are integers, with n ≥ 0.
State a non-trivial loop invariant (which must include conditions for i and x).
Prove the loop invariant. Be sure that the proof includes the final conditions after the loop has ended.
Note: a correct proof of an incorrect invariant will still receive partial credit.
Give the final value of x in terms of n.
Note: (for the sake of readability) the value 2² in the code below is 2 to the power of i.
Note: I or symbol (with ranges) meaning product or sum of terms can be used as part of loop invariant.
i = 0;
x = 1;
//
while in do
//
//
i=i+1;
//
X = X *
//
i;
X = X * 2¹;
//
After the loop, x =
(the invariant goes here)
