Question: Question 1 . ( 4 0 pts . ) Consider the loop in sumN ( ) . sumN ( ) requires n > 0 &&

Question 1.(40 pts.) Consider the loop in sumN(). sumN() requires n >0 && n %2!=0(i.e., n is an odd positive integer) and
returns the sum of odd integers 1 through n. For example, sumN(5)=9.
// precondition: n >0 n %2=0
int sumN(int n){
int k =3;
int sum =1;
// LI: sum =1+3+...+(k -2) k %2=03<= k <=(n +2)
while (k <= n){
sum = sum + k;
k = k +2;
}
return sum;
}
// postcondition: sum =1+3+...+ n
Given the loop invariant sum =1+3+...+(k 2) k%2=03<= k <=(n +2), show that the loop invariant is true for the base
case before the loop executes. (10 pts.)
Use induction to show that the loop invariant holds for the general case. That is, assume it holds after some iteration m
and show that it holds after iteration m +1.(20 pts.)
Show that at exit, the loop invariant and the exit condition imply the postcondition. (10 pts.)
