1 Write an algorithm to input 1000 numbers. Count how many numbers are positive and how
many numbers are zero. Then output the results. Use either pseudocode or a flowchart.

2 This section of program code asks for 50 numbers to be entered. The total and average of the
numbers are calculated.

1 Total = 0
2 Counter = 50
3 PRINT ′When prompted, enter 50 numbers, one at a time′
4 REPEAT
5 PRINT ′Enter a number′
6 INPUT Number
7 Total + Number = Total
8 Number = Number + 1
9 UNTIL Counter = 50
10 Average = Number * Counter
11 PRINT ′The average of the numbers you entered is ′, Average

There are four errors in this code.

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

5 (a) Draw a flowchart for an algorithm to input numbers. Reject any numbers that are negative
and count how many numbers are positive. When the number zero is input, the process ends
and the count of positive numbers is output.

[6]

Complete the trace table for the input data:

50.4, 50.3, 49.1, 50.3, 50.0, 49.5, 50.2, 50.3, 50.5, 50.6

Accept Reject Count Sack OUTPUT

[5]

(b) The size of the batch has increased to 50 sacks. It has been decided to only reject sacks that
are underweight.

State the changes that need to be made to the flowchart.

• inputs 10 numbers
• checks whether each number is within a specified range
• totals the numbers within the range and outside the range

1 InRange = 0
2 OutRange = 1000
3 FOR Count = 1 TO 10
4 INPUT Num
5 IF Num > 10 AND Num < 20 THEN InRange = InRange + 1
6 ELSE OutRange = OutRange - 1
7 Count = Count + 1

7 An algorithm has been written in pseudocode to select a random number using the function
RandInt(n), which returns a whole number between 1 and the argument n. The algorithm then
allows the user to guess the number.

Number RandInt(100)
TotalTry 1
REPEAT
PRINT "Enter your guess now, it must be a whole number"
INPUT Guess
IF TotalTry > Number
THEN
PRINT "Too large try again"
ENDIF
IF Guess > Number
THEN
PRINT "Too small try again"
ENDIF
TotalTry Guess + 1
UNTIL Guess <> Number
TotalTry TotalTry - 1
PRINT "Number of guesses ", TotalTry

8 The flowchart checks the lengths of a batch of 10 ropes. For the batch to be accepted 90% of
the lengths need to be between 24.9 and 25.1 metres.

Is Count =
10 ?
No

ELSE
IF Response = 4
