PART A: PROBLEM-SOLVING QUESTIONS [50 MARKS]

QUESTION 1 (6 MARKS)
Complete the following pseudo code that adds two integer numbers between 1 and 5 (1 and 5 are
included). The pseudo code will require an input of two integer numbers. The program able to request
repetitively from the user to key in the number again if the number entered is out of range from 1 to 5.
Use a proper input validation to handle this situation. Then, the pseudo code will continue to calculate
the total of two integer numbers after valid numbers entered. Finally, the pseudo code will display the
total of two numbers.

2. Read num1
3. If __________________________________________________

3.1 __________________________________________________

QUESTION 2 (6 MARKS)
Determine the output for each run of the following pseudo code for the given inputs in Table 1. Write
your answers by completing the Table 1.

1. Start
2. Read BookUnits
3. Set BookRetailPRICE = 99
4. If (BookUnits >= 1) AND (BookUnits < 5)
4.1 BookTotalCost = BookUnits x BookRetailPRICE
5. Else_If (BookUnits >= 5) AND (BookUnits < 15)
5.1 BookRetailCost = BookUnits x BookRetailPRICE
5.2 BookTotalCost = BookRetailCost - (BookRetailCost x .20)
6. Else_If (BookUnits >= 15)
6.1 BookRetailCost = BookUnits x BookRetailPRICE
6.2 BookTotalCost = BookRetailCost - (BookRetailCost x .40)
7. Else
7.1 Display “No book been purchased”
7.2 Goto 10
8. End_If
9. Display BookTotalCost

QUESTION 6 (10 MARKS)
You are requested to write a program by the client to sum the total postage cost of five items. Below is
the list of requirements given by the client.
a) The program should able to detect if item’s weight entered is valid. Item should not weigh more
than 1 kg. Zero (0) or less value entry is considered as an invalid input of item weight.
b) Use function named postageCost() to calculate postage cost to be charged to the item. Based on
the item weight, item may not be charged thus, this function may return a zero (0) value of
postage cost.
c) The final output of the program is the total number of item being charged with postage cost and
the sum of the overall postage cost.

Below is the description of identifiers use in the flow chart:

Identifiers Descriptions
item_count Count the number of items being processed.
item_weight Weight of item entered by the user.
cost Postage cost of item calculated by postageCost(weight) function.
item_charged Total number of items being charged with postage cost.
sum_cost Sum of overall cost for items being charged with postage cost.

Complete flowchart in Figure 4 by filling the blanks labelled (a) to (i) with appropriate instruction/
statement. Write your answers in Table 5.

Start (h)

True
item_count = 0, item_charged = 0 w <= 0.25 c=0

False
