Q. 46 Suppose c = 〈c[0], … , c[k – 1]〉 is an array of length k, where all the entries are from the set {0, 1}. For any positive integers a and n, consider the following pseudocode.
DOSOMETHING (c, a, n)
z ← 1
for i ← 0 to k – 1
do z ← z2 mod n
if c[i] = 1
then z ← (z × a) mod n
return z
If k = 4, c = 〈1, 0, 1, 1〉, a = 2 and n = 8, then the output of DOSOMETHING(c, a, n) is ____________.
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3
