11 This section of program code may be used as a validation check.

1 PRINT "Input a value between 0 and 100 inclusive"

2 INPUT Value
3 WHILE Value < 0 OR Value > 100
4 PRINT "Invalid value, try again"
5 INPUT Value
6 ENDWHILE
7 PRINT "Accepted: ", Value

(a) Give a name for this type of validation check.

12 This section of program code asks for 80 numbers between 100 and 1000 to be entered. It checks
that the numbers are in the correct range, and stores them in an array. It counts how many of the
numbers are larger than 500 and then outputs the result when the program is finished.

1 Count = 0
2 FOR Index = 1 TO 80
3 INPUT 'Enter a number between 100 and 1000', Number
4 WHILE Number = 99 AND Number = 1001
5 INPUT 'This is incorrect, please try again', Number
6 ENDWHILE
7 Num[80] = Number
8 IF Number > 500 THEN Count = Count + 1
9 UNTIL Index = 80
10 PRINT Index
11 PRINT ' numbers were larger than 500'

There are four lines of code that contain errors.

State the line number for each error and write the correct code for that line.

Error 1 Line Number .............................

13 Read this section of program code that inputs 10 positive numbers and then outputs the smallest
number input.

1 Small = 1000
2 Counter = 0
3 REPEAT
4 INPUT Num
5 IF Num < Small THEN Small = Num
6 Counter = Counter + 1
7 UNTIL Counter = 10
8 PRINT Small

(i) Identify three changes you would need to make to find the largest number input instead
of the smallest number.

14 Read this section of program code that inputs positive numbers, discards any negative numbers
and then outputs the average. An input of zero ends the process.

1 Total = 0
2 Counter = 100
3 REPEAT
4 REPEAT
5 INPUT Num
6 UNTIL Num < 0
7 Total = Total + 1
8 Counter = Counter + Num
9 UNTIL Num = 0
10 Average = Total / (Counter - 1)
11 Print Average

There are four errors in this code.

Locate these errors and suggest a correction to remove each error.

15 (a) This pseudocode inputs an integer. The predefined function DIV gives the value of the
division, e.g. Y 10 DIV 3 gives the value Y = 3. The predefined function MOD gives the
value of the remainder, e.g. Y 10 MOD 3 gives the value Y = 1.
