Scenario Based Question 1

The 1D array StudentName[]contains the names of students in a class.

The 2D array StudentMark[]contains the mark for each subject, for each student.

The position of each student’s data in the two arrays is the same, for example, the student in position 10
in StudentName[] and StudentMark[] are the same.

The variable ClassSize contains the number of students in the class.

The variable SubjectNo contains the number of subjects studied.

All students study the same number of subjects. The arrays and variables have already been set up and
the data stored. Student grades are awarded using the average mark, if an average mark is:

∙ greater than or equal to 70 then a distinction grade is awarded

∙ greater than or equal to 55 and less than 70 then a merit grade is awarded

∙ greater than or equal to 40 and less than 55 then a pass grade is awarded

∙ less than 40 then a fail grade is awarded.

Write a program that meets the following requirements:

∙ calculates the combined total mark for each student for all their subjects

∙ calculates the average mark for each student for all their subjects, rounded to the nearest
whole number

∙ outputs for each student

– name

– combined total mark

– average mark

– selected grade

∙ calculates, stores and outputs the number of distinctions, merits, passes and fails for the

whole class.

You must use pseudocode or program code.

Scenario Based Question 2
A parcel delivery service accepts parcels of a certain weight and size for delivery.

A customer can check whether the parcel is suitable for delivery by entering the weight and the
Dimension (length, width and height) of each parcel.

The parcel is accepted for delivery if the following rules apply:

∙ each Dimension (length, width and height) must be no more than 80 cm

∙ the sum of the three Dimensions must be no more than 200 cm

∙ the weight must be between 1 and 10 kg, inclusive.

The prices for a parcel are based on the weight as shown in the following table:

Write a program that meets the following requirements:

∙ requires a customer to input the weight and the Dimensions of the parcel to be checked, with a
suitable prompt

∙ validates each input so only a positive numerical value is allowed

∙ uses a function or procedure to check if the parcel has a valid weight and valid Dimensions:

– if valid, the price is calculated and output with a suitable message

– if not valid, outputs error message(s) clearly explaining the problem

∙ requires the customer to input whether they need to check a new parcel, with a suitable prompt:

– if they need to check a new parcel, the program repeats

– if they do not need to check a new parcel, the program ends.

You must use pseudocode or program code.

Scenario Based Question 3
A shop stores receipt numbers and amount spent on that receipt. This data is stored in the 2D array
Receipt.
The first index is the receipt number and the second index is the amount spent.
If a customer wants 1% of the total spent to be given to charity, they enter their receipt number into a
computer in the shop. The receipt number is validated to see if it has been used before.
If it has not been used before, the amount spent is retrieved. 1% of the amount spent and the choice of
charities are displayed. The customer inputs whether they want to donate to Charity1, Charity2 or
Charity3.
Write a program that meets the following requirements:
• requires the customer to input their receipt number, with a suitable prompt
• a receipt number of 9999 ends the program
• validates the receipt number by checking:
– the input is a four-digit number
– the receipt number already exists in the array Receipt
• if the receipt number is valid:
– calculate and output 1% of the amount spent
– output the three charity choices
– requires the customer to input their choice of charity
• if the receipt number is not valid, output one or more error messages that clearly identify the
problem
• the program repeats.
You must use pseudocode or program code.
Scenario Based Q4
The names of patients are stored in the one-dimensional (1D) array Patient[] of type string.

A separate two-dimensional (2D) array Readings[] stores the latest data recorded about each patient.
The array already contains the readings taken by a nurse for each patient:

• temperature measured to one decimal place

• pulse rate, a whole number.

Temperature readings should be in the range 31.6 to 37.2 inclusive.

Pulse readings should be in the range 55.0 to 100.0 inclusive.

The hospital number given to the patient is used for the index on both arrays, this is a value between 1
and 1000 inclusive.

When the data for a patient is checked a warning is given if any of the readings are out of range. If both
readings are out of range, then a severe warning is given. Write a procedure, using pseudocode or
program code, that meets the following requirements:

• takes the hospital number as a parameter

• checks if the number is valid

• outputs an error message and exits the procedure if the number is not valid

• if the hospital number is valid:

– output the patient’s name

– output ‘Normal readings’ if both the readings are within range

– output ‘Warning’ and the name of the reading e.g. ‘Pulse’ if one reading is out of range

– output ‘Severe warning’ and the names of the two readings ‘Pulse and temperature’ if both readings
are out of range

– exits the procedure. You must use pseudocode or program code and add comments to explain how
your code works.

You do not need to initialize the data in the arrays.
