The flowcharts show algorithms for Process A and Process B that take two integers each as input and return a number each as output.
In the algorithms shown, the values of p and q depend on the values of x and y after undergoing a process, which in turn depend on the original values of x and y input into the process.
Use the dropdown menus to fill in the blanks in the following statements based on the algorithm presented in the flowchart.
1. If -2 and 1 are entered as values of x and y respectively in both Process A and Process B., the sum of output values p and q is .
2. If 2 and -3 are entered as values of x and y respectively in both Process A and Process B the value of |p-q| is .

Solution: 1. If x= -2 & y= 1(Given)
Process A Is x>0 if no, then X=lxl so, X =l-2l=2 and P = x+y
P = 2+1=3
Process B Is x>0 if no, then Y=3y so, Y = 3*1=3 and Q = x-y
Q = -2-3=-5
So, the sum of output values p and q is 3+(-5)=-2
2. If x=2 & y=-3(Given)
Process A Is x>0 if yes, then X=-x so, X=-2 and P = x+y
P = -2+(-3) = -5
Process B Is x>0 if yes, then Y=-2x so, Y=-2(2)=-4 and Q = x-y
Q = 2-(-4)=6
So, the value of |p-q| is |-5-6| = |-11|=11

1. We are given two processes that separately give p and q based on x and y. The question asks us in two parts to essentially find p,q when given x,y.
2. To do this, let's go through each part and each calculation in the processes.
3. Part 1: x = -2 and y = 1.
- Process A. \(x = -2 < 0 \rightarrow p = |-2| + 1 = 3\).
- Process B. \(x = -2 < 0 \rightarrow q = -2 - 3 * 1 = -5\).
The sum will be 3 + (-5) = -2.
4. Part 2: x = 2 and y = -3.
- Process A. \(x = 2 > 0 \rightarrow p = -2 + (-3) = -5\).
- Process B. \(x = 2 > 0 \rightarrow q = 2 - (-2) * (2) = 6\).
The value of |p - q| will be |-5 - 6| = 11.
5. Our answer will be: D1 - -2 and D2 - 11.
