Consider a directed graph \( G = (V,E) \), where \( V = \{0,1,2,\dots,100\} \) and
\[ E = \{(i,j) : 0 < j - i \leq 2, \text{ for all } i,j \in V \}. \] Suppose the adjacency list of each vertex is in decreasing order of vertex number, and depth-first search (DFS) is performed at vertex 0. The number of vertices that will be discovered after vertex 50 is:

Consider the following pseudocode.

Create empty stack S
Set x = 0, flag = 0, sum = 0
Push x onto S
while (S is not empty){
    if (flag equals 0){
        Set x = x + 1
        Push x onto S
    }
    if (x equals 8):
        Set flag = 1
    if (flag equals 1){
        x = Pop(S)
        if (x is odd):
            Pop(S)
        Set sum = sum + x
    }
}
Output sum

The value of \( sum \) output by a program executing the above pseudocode is:
