I want to make sure that I'm doing following problem correct:

• Consider the following algorithm; assume N to be a positive integer.
• X 0
• Y 1
• WHILE (X < N)
  • X X + 1
  • Y Y + 2 X
• Y Y / N

Calculate what value of Y the algorithm will compute for the following values of N. Explain your solution.

• N = 3
• N=5

• Is this correct?
