SECTION C: PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS (2 QUESTIONS, 30 MARKS)
Instruction:Answer ALL questions. Write a complete C program. Study the
problem carefully before you attempt to answer.

Question 1
You are required to write a program to perform the calculation of the amount of penalty
that need to pay by the book store customer. Your program is to accept the book price
from the user and the number of day (s) the book had overdue, the amount of penalty is
10% of the book price per day. If the amount of penalty is more than the book price,
then the system will advise the user to buy the book, otherwise the program will display
the amount of penalty. After display the answer, your program should ask the user
whether they wish to continue with the next book and your program should only stop,
if the user key in 0. Sample output as below:
Enter book price (press 0 to stop): RM 30.00
Enter day(s) book had overdue: 3
You need to pay RM9.00 for the penalty

Enter book price (press 0 to stop): RM 100.00

Enter day(s) book had overdue: 5
You need to pay RM50.00 for the penalty

Enter book price (press 0 to stop): RM 10.00

Enter day(s) book had overdue: 15
You need to pay RM15.00 for the penalty.
You are advised to buy the book because the penalty is more
or equal with the book price.

Enter book price (press 0 to stop): RM 0

Thank You. Exit.

Question 2
You are required to write a complete C program that will read the exam marks and
names for 5 students. The range of the marks should be in between 0-100. The program
should consists THREE (3) functions:

Page 9 of 10

Programming 1
  A function name passfail( ). This function will accept the array of marks
then count and display the number of students passing and failing the exam.
(Tips: student needs to score at least 50 marks in order to pass an exam)
 A function name below20(). This function will accept the array of marks and
the array of students. Next, it should find and print the names for those scoring
20 marks and below.
 A function name max( ). This function will accept the array of marks and the
array of students. Next, find the top students whose get the highest marks and
display their name together with their marks.

You are required to declare your function prototypes, call the functions, and define the
functions precisely according to the problem given. Sample output as follow
Enter student 1: Ali
Enter marks: 60
Enter student 2: Siti
Enter marks: 300. Invalid marks.
Enter marks: 90
Enter student 3: Raju
Enter marks: 10
Enter student 4: Lim
Enter marks: 15
Enter student 30: Priya
Enter marks: 96

PASS : 3 students.
FAIL : 2 students.

-----Student who’s get 20 and below-------

1. Raju (10 marks)
2. Lim (15 marks)

------ The top students-------

Priya (96 marks)
