1.

Write an algorithm using either pseudocode or a flowchart, to:

• input a positive integer

• use this value to set up how many other numbers are to be input

• input these numbers

• calculate and output the total and the average of these numbers.

are rejected and melons weighing over 2 kilograms are also rejected. Give an example of each type of test
data for this routine.

Section B

1 Read this section of program code that should input 30 positive numbers and then output the
largest number input.

1 Large = 9999

2 Counter = 0

3 WHILE Counter > 30

4 DO

5 INPUT Num

6 IF Num < Large THEN Large = Num

7 Counter = Counter - 1

8 ENDWHILE

9 PRINT Large

There are four errors in this code.

Locate these errors and suggest a corrected piece of code for each error.

3 (a) The flowchart below inputs six single digit numbers. The predefined function MOD gives the
value of the remainder, for example, Y  10 MOD 3 gives the value Y = 1

START

INPUT
A, B, C, D, E, F

Total  A*1 + B*2 + C*3 + D*4 + E*5

Check  Total MOD 11

Is Check = Yes OUTPUT

F? 'Accept'

No

OUTPUT
'Reject'

END

Complete a trace table for each of the two sets of input data.

Set 1 5, 2, 4, 3, 1, 5

Set 2 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 3

Trace table set 1 5, 2, 4, 3, 1, 5

A B C D E F Total Check Output

Trace table set 2 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 3

A B C D E F Total Check Output
