Programming Quiz 3

1 The 1D array Products[] contains the names of 50 items in a supermarket.

The 1D array Prices[] contains the price of each item in the supermarket.

Both arrays have already been declared and the data initialised.

Write a program that would meet the following requirements:

• calculate and output the average price of all items in the supermarket.
• find and output the name of items with price less than 10

You must add comments to your code

Declare Total, Count, Avg : REAL
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Total <--- 0
Count <---- 0
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//coding the count
For i <--- 1 to 50
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Total <--- total + Price[i]
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
If Prices[i] < 10 then
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Count <--- Count + 1
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
endif
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
NEXT
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

//Coding the average

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Avg <---- total/50
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
//outputting the average and prices below 10
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Output "The average price between all products = ", Avg
output "items with a price below 10 = ", Count
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2 (a) Declare an array that should store the salaries of 100 employees in a company.

Declare Salaries[1:100] : REAL

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

[2]
(b) Write a program that would:
• input & validate 100 salaries and store them in the array declared in part (a)
• find and output the highest salary entered

Valid salaries are between 100 and 50000

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Declare Salaries[1:100], Highestsalary : REAL
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Highestsalary <--- -99999999
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
For x <--- 1 to 100
output "Enter the salaries"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
input Salaries[x]
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

if Salaries[x] <100 OR Salaries[x] >50000 then

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
output "invalid. try again"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
input Salaries[x]
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

if Salaries[x] > Highestsalary THEN

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Highestsalary <--- Salaries[x]
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
endif
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
NEXT
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

OUTPUT "Highest salary is ",Highestsalary

3 The function LENGTH(X) finds the length of a string X.

The function SUBSTRING(X,Y,Z) finds a substring of X starting at position Y and Z characters

long.

The first character in X is in position 1

Write pseudocode statements to:

• store the string "Computer Science is fun" in X

• find the length of the string and output it
• extract the word Science from the string and output it

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Declare lengthofx: INTEGER
Declare x, Extractedword: STRING
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

x <-- "Computer Science is fun"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
lengthofx <--- LENGTH(x)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Extractedword <--- SUBSTRING(x, 9 , 15 )

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
OUTPUT "Length of the word is ",lengthofx
OUTPUT "The extracted word is ", Extractedword
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

4 The function LENGTH(X) finds the length of a string X.

The function SUBSTRING(X,Y,Z) finds a substring of X starting at position Y and Z characters

long.

The first character in X is in position 1

Show the value of the variable after each pseudocode statement has been executed.

5 An algorithm has been written in pseudocode to input 50 numbers and total only the positive
numbers.

01 Total ← 10000

02 FOR Count <- 1 TO 50

03 INPUT Number

04 IF Number <> 0 THEN

05 Total ← Total + Count

06 ENDIF

07 ENDWHILE

08 OUTPUT Total

There are four errors in this code.

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

Error 1
line 1 should be Total <- 0
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..[1]

Error 2

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..[1]
line 4 should be IF Number >=0 THEN
Error 3
LINE 5 should be Total <--- Total + Number
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..[1]

Error 4
line 7 should be NEXT
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..[1]

6 Write a program that would:

• allow numbers to be input until a zero is input

• find the average of the numbers

• output the average when zero is input and end the algorithm.

Declare guess, total, avg : INTEGER

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
total <---- 0
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Repeat
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Output "guess the number"
input guess
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
total <--- total + guess
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
UNTILL guess = 0
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
avg <--- total/guess
