Alter-Native: Carlos Delgado Kloos Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

This document describes an algorithm for determining the value of the variable x based on the value of the variable n. It starts with a basic if/else statement to assign x the absolute value of n. It then expands this to add checks for when n is equal to 0 and to assign different string values s depending on the value of n. Further expansions add checks for when n is within a certain range and different string assignments. The document discusses refining the conditional logic with additional else if statements and comparisons to more precisely define the conditions to assign the correct value to x.
