1. Desk Check Task: Calculate Bill Total


Required Variables:
Real (floating point):
appetizer_price, main_price, dessert_price
total_price

Pseudocode:
Read the value of appetizer_price
Read the value of main_price
Read the value of dessert_price
total_price = appetizer_price + main_price +
dessert_price
Print ‘$’ then the value of total_price to the terminal
showing two decimal places.

Test Data:
First data Second data
set set
appetizer_p 10.30 12.40
rice
main_price 34.00 41.00
dessert_pric 8.50 9.80
e

Expected Result:

First data Second data


set set
Output: $52.80 $63.20
Desk check - fill this in by hand-tracing/hand-executing the
pseudocode provided with the test data above:

2. Complete Program Calculate Bill Total

Now check the actual code produces the output you expected

Do this by completing the missing code in bill_total.rb in Task 1.3 then running the
program.
3. Short Answer Questions:

Focus in the following on using the correct computing terminology.

Here are some terms that may help you: Assignment, evaluate, increment,

1. Using a few sentences explain why it may be important to


execute statements in the correct sequence. (eg: what might
happen if the last statement in Program 2 was executed earlier)
The order of execution in programming is crucial because it determines
the outcome of the program.

2: The code main_price = 10 is an example of which kind of


programming statement?

This is an assignment statement.

3: What actions does the computer perform when it executes a = a


+ b?

The computer first evaluate


Then it increment

4: How would the value of variable i change in the statement i = i +


1?

The value of i will be increment

5: What sort of types will Ruby use to store the following


variables (given the associated variable values)?

Data Type

A person's name e.g: “Fred Smith” String

Number of students in a class e.g: 23 Integer


Average age of a group of people e.g: 23.5 Float
A temperature in Celsius e.g: 45.7 Float
True or false e.g: 1 == 2 Boolean
Note: possible types include: Integer, String, Float, Boolean
6: Variables have a scope – what are two different scopes
variables can have in Ruby?

· Local Scope: Variables defined within a method, block, or class have local scope. They
are only accessible within that specific context and are destroyed when the context ends.

· Global Scope: Variables defined outside of any method, block, or class have global scope.
They can be accessed from anywhere within the program, including within methods, blocks,
and classes.
