2. Give an example of a pseudocode statement or statements to perform each of the following
functions.
A condition controlled loop ………………………...……………………………………….……...
A conditional statement ....................................................................................................................
Totalling ......................................................................................................................................[3]
3. Read the following algorithm.
This pseudocode algorithm inputs two non-zero numbers and a sign, and then performs the
calculation shown by the sign. An input of zero for the first number terminates the process.

INPUT Number1, Number2, Sign

WHILE Number1 <> 0
IF Sign = '+' THEN Answer Number1 + Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '-' THEN Answer Number1 - Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '*' THEN Answer Number1 * Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '/' THEN Answer Number1 / Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign <> '/' AND Sign <> '*' AND Sign <> '-' AND Sign <> '+'
THEN Answer 0
ENDIF
IF Answer <> 0 THEN OUTPUT Answer ENDIF
INPUT Number1, Number2, Sign
ENDWHILE
(a) Complete the trace table for the input data:
5, 7, +, 6, 2, –, 4, 3, *, 7, 8, ?, 0, 0, /

Number1 Number2 Sign Answer OUTPUT

[6]
(b) Show how you could improve the algorithm written in pseudocode by writing an alternative
type of conditional statement in pseudocode.

4. Correct the pseudocode that inputs 10 Ages and outputs sum and average age.
1 FOR count = 1 to 3
2 INPUT Age
3 average = sum / count
4 NEXT
5 sum = sum + age

7. The following section of pseudo code inputs mark for 20 subjects, calculates total and
average of the mark and outputs total and average mark.
SET total, average = 1
SET counter = 1
FOR counter = 0 To 10
Input Mark
Total = Total + Marks
