     Set sum = sum + x

     Set x = x + 1

End While

While

Expert Solution
Step 1

The code inside the loop has two parts:

  1. "Set sum = sum + x" - This line of code takes the current value of the variable "sum" and adds the current value of the variable "x" to it. The result is then stored back in the variable "sum". This means that every time the loop executes, the value of "sum" will be incremented by the value of "x".

  2. "Set x = x + 1" - This line of code takes the current value of the variable "x" and adds 1 to it. The result is then stored back in the variable "x". This means that every time the loop executes, the value of "x" will be incremented by 1.
