The
problem
of
the
Sissa
chessboard
[.
.
.
]
is
a
mathemat-ical
problem
that
can
be
expressed
as
follows
:
ˇA
grain
of
wheat
is
placed
on
the
first
square
of
a
chessboard.
If
we
double
the
number
of
grains
on
each
square
from
the
previous
square
(one
grain
on
the
first
square,
two
on
the
second,
four
on
the
third,
etc..
.
.
)
,
how
many
grains
of
rice
do
we
get
in
total¾’

As
a
reminder,
a
chessboard
is
made
up
of
64
white
or
black
squares.
So,
after
filling
the
first
three
squares,
there
are
7
grains
of
wheat
on
the
chess-board.
How
many
grains
of
wheat
are
needed
to
fill
the
chess-board?
1
How
many
grains
of
wheat
will
be
placed
in
the
10
ème
square?
We
want
to
approach
the
answer
to
this
exercise
using
a
pro-gramming
language.

In
the
chosen
language,
enter
the
following
algo-rithm
:
S

For
i
ranging
from
0
to
5
u
←

For
b
Justify
that
at
the
end
of
its
execution,
variable
S
con-tains
the
sum
of
the
first
6
terms
of
the
arithmetic
sequence
with
first
term
3
and
common
difference

Adapt
this
algorithm
so
that,
at
the
end
of
execution,
the
variable
S
has
a
value
equal
to
the
number
of
wheat
grains
on
the
board
at
the
end
of
the
game.
Give
the
approximate
value
of
the
variable
S
at
the
end
of
the
algorithm.

Among
the
four

The
Sierpinski
(1916)
carpet,
named
after
its
Polish
creator,
is
constructed
by
a
succession
of
steps
defined
by:
Each
white
square
is
subdivided
into
9
identical
squares
by
dividing
its
sides
into
three
segments
of
equal
length,
and
the
central
square
is
colored
black
Here
are
the
first
six
steps
of
this
construction
:
1
For
figures
obtained
in
step
5
and
following
:
How
many
black
squares
with
sides
1
3
contains
the
fig-ure?
How
many
black
squares
of
side
1
9
contains
the
figure?
How
many
black
squares
of
side
1
27
contains
the
figure?
2
Using
the
programming
software,
determine
the
exact
number
S
4
of
black
squares
present
at
step
4
?

Using
the

A
