Programming Quiz 1
Name: ……………………………………..……………………………………..

1 Write down the most appropriate data type for the following examples:

Example Data Type

The age of a student integer
The full name of a student String
Whether the student has attended or not boolean

[3]
2 The variables Number1, Number2, Number3 are used to store numbers to be entered by the
user.

Write a program that would meet the following requirements:

• allow the user to input three numbers
• calculate and output the sum of the three numbers
• calculate and output the average of the three numbers

You should add comments to explain how your code works.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Declare Number1,Number2,Number3, Sum, Average :REAL
//entering the numbers
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Enter 3 numbers"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Input Number1, Number2 , Number3
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//Calculating the sum and average
Sum <--- Number1+ Number2 + Number3
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

//Instead of re-writing it we just use 'Sum'

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Average <--- Sum / 3
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//outputting the answers
Output "The sum is ",Sum
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "The average is ", Average

3 Write a program using pseudocode that takes from the user a student mark in an exam and
the program should calculate and output the percentage.

The exam is out of 25

Percentage = (Mark / 25) * 100

Output Invalid mark if the user entered a negative number or a number greater than 25

You should add comments to explain how your code works.

DECLARE Mark: INTEGER
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
DECLARE Percentage: REAL
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//Inputting the mark
Output "What was your mark?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Input Mark
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//calculating that the mark should not be over or under
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
IF Mark >25 OR Mark <0 THEN
Output "Invalid Mark"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Else
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Percentage <--- (Mark/25) * 100
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//calculated the percentage
Output "Percentage = ",Percentage [5]

4 The variable pH is used to store the pH value of a chemical solution.

Write a program that would meet the following requirements:

• output Invalid pH if the pH is less than 0 or greater than 14
• output Acidic if the pH is between 0 and 6 inclusive
• output Alkaline if the pH is between 8 and 14 inclusive
• output Neutral if the pH is greater than 6 and less than 8

You should add comments to explain how your code works.

DECLARE pH : INTEGER
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Enter the pH"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Input pH
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//checking that is not negative or greater than 14
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
IF pH <0 OR pH >14 THEN
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Invalid pH"
ELSE
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

IF pH >=0 AND pH <=6 THEN

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//Must be within the range to output that answer
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Acidic"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
ELSE
IF pH >=8 AND pH <=14 THEN
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Alkaline"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
ELSE
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "Neutral"
ENDIF

5 State the output of the following program if the value stored in Number1 is 4 and the value
stored in Number2 is 5

IF Number1 = Number2 THEN

OUTPUT "Equal"
ELSE
IF Number1 > Number2 THEN
OUTPUT "The larger number is ", Number1
ELSE
OUTPUT "The larger number is ", Number2
ENDIF

ENDIF

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………[1]
-The larger number is 5

6 The following program should display Valid if the weight is greater than or equal to 0 and
display Invalid otherwise.

01 DECLARE Weight : REAL

02 INPUT Weights
03 IF Weight > 0 THEN
04 OUTPUT "Invalid"
05 ELSE
06 OUTPUT "Valid"
07 ENDIF

There are two errors in the code.

(b) Identify the two errors in the pseudocode and suggest corrections.
line 3
Error 1 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
should be IF Weight >=0 THEN
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Line 2
Error 2 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
