1 A 1D array needs to store the names of 10 animals.

(a) Write program code to declare the global string array Animals to store 10 items.

Save your program as Question1_J2023.

Copy and paste the program code into part 1(a) in the evidence document.
[3]

(b) The main program needs to store the following animals in the array:

horse
lion
rabbit
mouse
bird
deer
whale
elephant
kangaroo
tiger

Write program code to store these animal names in the array.


The names must be in lower case and stored in the order given in the list.

Save your program.

Copy and paste the program code into part 1(b) in the evidence document.
[2]
(c) The following pseudocode procedure sorts the array into a descending alphabetical order
using only the first character in each animal name.

The function LENGTH(DataArray) returns the number of elements in the array DataArray.

The function MID(String, Start, Quantity) returns Quantity number of characters


from String starting at index Start. The first character in the string is index 0, for example:

MID("tiger", 0, 2) will return "ti"

There are four incomplete statements in the procedure.

PROCEDURE SortDescending()

DECLARE ArrayLength : INTEGER

DECLARE Temp : STRING

ArrayLength LENGTH(Animals)

FOR X 0 TO ArrayLength - 1

FOR Y ……………… TO ArrayLength - X - 1

IF MID(Animals[Y], 0, 1) < MID(Animals[………………], 0, 1) THEN

Temp Animals[………………]

Animals[Y] Animals[Y + 1]

Animals[Y + 1] ………………

ENDIF

NEXT Y

NEXT X

ENDPROCEDURE

Write program code for the procedure SortDescending().

Save your program.

Copy and paste the program code into part 1(c) in the evidence document.
[6]
(d) (i) Write program code to amend the main program to:

• call the procedure SortDescending()


• output the sorted contents of the array with each animal name on a new line.

Save your program.

Copy and paste the program code into part 1(d)(i) in the evidence document.
[3]

(ii) Test your program.

Take a screenshot of the output.

Save your program.

Copy and paste the screenshot into part 1(d)(ii) in the evidence document.
