HNDIT 1103-Structured Programming Q1. (2007 First Semester Exam - Q 1)

The document contains 5 past exam questions from various years on the topics of algorithms, flowcharts, and pseudocode. The questions assess understanding of key concepts like local vs global variables, function definitions and calls, characteristics of good algorithms, graphical notations used in flowcharts, and translating between pseudocode and flowcharts. Sample problems are provided to be solved using these programming concepts, such as finding the greatest common divisor or largest number from a set.

structured programming? (03 marks)
(iv) An unstructured algorithm for finding the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of two given
(positive) numbers is given below.

Stepl: Read two numbers A and B.


Step2: If A=B Then output A and stop running (because the GCD is A (or B)]
