Chapter 5.2, Problem 12STE
Program Plan Intro

void Functions:

  • A function must either return a single or no value.
  • A function where no value is returned is termed as “void” function.
  • The “void” function is been defined in same way as function that would return a value.
  • It implements only subtask for complete problem.
  • If a “void” function is called, formal parameters are substituted with arguments.
  • The statements in function body are executed.
  • The “return” statement specifies value that is been returned.

Call-by-Reference:

  • It is a method for substituting arguments.
  • The argument is substituted for formal parameter.
  • The function call arguments may be a variable.
  • This argument variable is substituted for formal parameter.
  • It is similar to copying of argument variables into function definition body in place of formal parameter.
  • The function body code is been executed once argument is substituted.
  • This code can change argument variable value.
  • The ampersand sign (&) is attached to end of type name in formal parameter list in both function declaration as well as function header definition.

Call-by-value:

  • It copies actual value of an argument into function’s formal parameter.
  • The changes made to parameter inside function have no effect on argument.
  • This technique is used in default in programs.
  • The code within a function could not alter arguments that are used for calling function.

We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
