Task 2
Work Sheet # 1

Name of Student _______________ Class ______

Subject _______________________ Date _______
1. Describe with the aid of some sample data, the data structure that you have used to record the
data for the buyer’s ID in Task 2. [2]
Ans. We have used one dimensional array to store buyer’s ID. We have assumed that total numbers of
buyers are known in advance. Our solution will prompt the user to enter total number of buyers
using the following statement.
TotalBuyers = console.readline( )
We asked the user to enter the buyers’ id and store it in the array. We have used For loop to fill
the array.
For Buyer_Count = 1 to TotalBuyers
BuyerID(Buyer_Count) = console.readline( )
Next Buyer_Count
Sample Data

123
124
125
126

2. Explain how your program for Task 2 displays the data for sale items of the auction.
Programming statements used in your solution must be explained. Assume that Task 1 is
complete.

Name of Student _______________ Class ______

Subject _______________________ Date _______
1. Write an algorithm, in form of pseudocode AND flowchart, to display item number, description
and highest bid of the items to be sold. Also write program for the above problem.

Pseudocode:

Found = 0
Print “Enter Sale Item’s ID to search”
Input Search_ID
For count = 1 to Total_Items
If Search_ID = Sale_Items(count,1) Then
Found = 1
Print “Item ID = ”, Sale_Items(count,1)
Print “Description = ”, Sale_Items(count,2)
Print “Highest Bid = ”, Sale_Items(count,5)
End if
Next Count
If found = 0 Then
Print “ID Not Found”
End If
