value of the largest one.

6. Write a Method that takes a real number as an argument and returns the
absolute value of that number.

7. Write a Method that takes a positive integer n as an argument and

returns the largest power of two greater than or equal to n.

8. Write a Method that takes a positive integer n as an argument and

returns 1 if n is prime, and 0 otherwise.

9. Write a Method that takes a positive integer n as an argument and

returns 0 if n is prime, and 1 otherwise.

the leading digit in its decimal representation. For example, the leading
digit of 234567 is 2.

11. What values are printed out by the following C program?

#include <stdio.h>

int f(int x) {
return x + 2;

int main(void) {
int x = 5;
printf("%d %d\n", f(x+2), f(f(x+2)));
return 0;
}

12. What values are printed out by the following C program?

#include <stdio.h>

int confusion(int x, int y) {

x = 2*x + y;
return x;
}
int main(void) {
int x = 2, y = 5;
y = confusion(y, x);
