Let’s go through the program and look at what it is doing, paying close attention to the FOR LOOP:

Before the for loop starts running:

S= X=

When the for loop starts running, it will repeat _____ times.

At the end of each for loop

When I=1 S= X=
When I=2 S= X=
When I=3 S= X=
When I=4 S= X=

S represents the ___________________________________________________________________

X represents the ___________________________________________________________________

Assume we wanted to do right handed rectangles. We set R=1.

Before the for loop starts running:

S= X=

When the for loop starts running, it will repeat _____ times.

At the end of each for loop

When I=1 S= X=
When I=2 S= X=
When I=3 S= X=
When I=4 S= X=

What does setting R=1 do which makes the program calculate right handed rectangles? ________________
