5. Explain Elements of a loop with suitable examples
a. Initialisation: During initialisation, the loop control variable gets its first value. The
initialisation statement is executed only once, at the beginning of the loop.
b. Test expression: It is a relational or logical expression whose value is either True
or False. It decides whether the loop-body will be executed or not. If the test
expression evaluates to True, the loop-body gets executed, otherwise it will not
be executed.
c. Update statement: The update statement modifies the loop control variable by
changing its value. The update statement is executed before the next iteration.
d. Body of the loop: The statements that need to be executed repeatedly constitute
the body of the loop. It may be a simple statement or a compound statement.

k=1; //Initialisation
while(k<10) //Test Expression
{
cout<<k; // body of the loop
k++; // update statement

a. Which is the exit-controlled loop?
i. do-while
b. How does it differ from an entry controlled loop?
i. In entry controlled loop the initialisation of the loop control variable takes
place first. Then the test expression is evaluated. If it returns True the
body of the loop is executed.
8. Write a C++ program to input the amount of sales and calculate the discount amount
based on the criteria given in the table.
Amount of sale Discount rate
25,000 and above 10%
10,000 and above,but below 25,000 7%
Below 10,000 No discount
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
int sales,discount;
cin>>sales;
if(sales>=25000)
discount=sales*10/100;
else if(sales>=10000)
discount=sales*7/100;
else
discount=0;
cout<<discount;
}
9. Rewrite the following switch statement using if – else if statement :
switch (n)
{
case 5 : cout<<"Excellent"; break;
case 4 :
case 3 : cout<<"Good"; break;
case 2 : cout<<"Average"; break:
case 1 : cout<<"Poor"; break;
default : cout<<"Invalid";

}
Answer
if(n==5)
cout<<"Excellent";
else if(n==4||n==3)
cout<<"Good";
else if(n==2)
cout<<"Average";
else if(n== 1)
cout<<"Poor"; break;
else
cout<<"Invalid";
10. DifferenTiate between Entry Controlled Loop and Exit controlled loop,
a. an entry-controlled loop. The condition is checked first and if it is found True the
body of the loop will be executed. That is the body will be executed as long as
the condition is True.
b. an exit controlled loop. If the test expression evaluates to False, the loop will be
terminated. Otherwise, the execution process will be continued.

Test expression ? True_case code : False_case code;
e. The Test expression can be any relational or logical expression and True_case
code and False_case code can be constants, variables, expressions or
statement.
12. Compare switch statement and else if ladder
a. switch statement
i. Permits multiple branching.
ii. Evaluates conditions with equality operator only.
iii. Case constant must be an integer or a character type value.
iv. When no match is found, default statement is executed.

a city, country or continent. It can cover an area of over hundreds of Kilometers in
radius. WAN usually contain a number of interconnected individual computers,
LANs, MANs and maybe other WANs. All types of communication media (guided
and unguided) are used to set up a WAN

a. A hub is a device used in a wired network to connect computers/devices of the
same network. It is a small, simple, passive and inexpensive device.
Computers/devices are connected to ports of the hub using Ethernet cable.
When NIC of one computer sends data packets to hub, the hub transmits the
packets to all other computers connected to it. Each computer is responsible for
determining its data packets.
b. A switch is an intelligent device that connects several computers to form a
network. It is a higher performance alternative to a hub. It looks exactly like a
hub. Switches are capable of determining the destination and redirect the data
only to the intended node. A switch performs better than a hub on busy networks,
since it generates less network traffic in delivering messages.
18. Computer network has an important role in modern communication

devices through a medium of transmission.
b. List any four data communication devices

e.
20. What is the full form of URL
a. Uniform Resource Locator.
21. What are the uses of ub, switch and bridge?
a. same network. It is a small, simple, passive and inexpensive device.
Computers/devices are connected to ports of the hub using Ethernet cable.
When NIC of one computer sends data packets to hub, the hub transmits the
packets to all other computers connected to it. Each computer is responsible for
determining its data packets.
b. A switch is an intelligent device that connects several computers to form a
network. It is a higher performance alternative to a hub. It looks exactly like a
hub. Switches are capable of determining the destination and redirect the data
only to the intended node. A switch performs better than a hub on busy networks,
since it generates less network traffic in delivering messages.
c. A bridge is a device used to segmentise a network. An existing network can be
split into different segments and can be interconnected using a bridge. This
reduces the amount of traffic on a network.
22. Name different topologies
a. Bus topology

b. Star topology
c. Ring Topology
d. Mesh Toplogy
23. What is the use of router?
a. A router is a device that can interconnect two networks of the same type using
the same protocol. It can find the optimal path for data packets to travel and
reduce the amount of traffic on a network.
24. Briefly describe TCP/IP Protocol
a. TCP/IP, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of
communications protocols used to interconnect network devices on the local
networks and the Internet.

b. TCP/IP defines rules for how electronic devices (like computers) should be
connected to the Internet and how data should be transmitted between them.
Figure shows the steps involved in the working of TCP/IP protocol. Delivery of
each of these packets to the right destinations is done by Internet protocol (IP).
Even though different packets of the same message may be routed differently,
they will reach the same destination and get reassembled there.
c. HTTP, FTP and DNS are three sub protocols of TCP/IP protocol
