 FUNCTION MACHINES

A Function Machine is a diagram that represents a machine that takes an input, applies a rule
such as a set of operations and delivers the answer as an output.

In Exercise 1 your task is to determine rule and some outputs.

EXERCISE 1

For each diagram (a) describe what the function machines does and (b) find the missing
outputs
