TUTORIAL SHEET 1

Exercise 1
ANS-

For this exercise we will use the example of making Spaghetti Bolognese

ALGORITHM: Prepare_Spaghetti_Bolognese

Input/Equipment Required Equipment_List: Large pot Large frying pan Wooden spoon
Colander Chopping board Sharp knife Measuring cups Timer

Input/Ingredients Required Ingredients_List: 500g spaghetti 500g ground beef 2 onions 3


garlic cloves 2 cans crushed tomatoes 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper Italian herbs

BEGIN

// Preparation Phase

CHOP onions into small pieces MINCE garlic cloves

// Start Sauce

HEAT frying pan

ADD olive oil to pan

WHEN oil is hot

ADD chopped onions

COOK for 5 minutes

ADD minced garlic

COOK for 2 minutes

ADD ground beef

WHILE beef is not brown

STIR and break up lumps

END WHILE

ADD crushed tomatoes

ADD herbs, salt, and pepper

REDUCE heat to low

SET timer to 20 minutes


END WHEN

// Parallel Pasta Cooking

WHILE sauce is simmering

FILL large pot with water

ADD 1 tablespoon salt

BRING water to boil

WHEN water is boiling

ADD spaghetti

SET timer to 10 minutes

WHILE pasta is cooking

STIR occasionally

END WHILE

END WHEN

END WHILE

// Final Steps

DRAIN pasta in colander

IF sauce is too thick

ADD 1/4 cup pasta water

END IF

COMBINE pasta and sauce in large pot

SERVE while hot

END

Exercise 2:

ANS-

BEGIN
DISPLAY "Press AC button to turn ON"

READ ac_status // (ON or OFF)

IF ac_status == ON THEN

DISPLAY "Enter desired temperature"

READ desired_temp

// Measure the current cabin temperature

READ current_temp

// Check if cooling is needed

IF current_temp > desired_temp THEN

START compressor

START cooling fan

DISPLAY "Cooling in progress..."

ELSE

DISPLAY "Cabin already at the desired temperature"

ENDIF

// User can adjust fan speed

DISPLAY "Enter fan speed (Low, Medium, High)"

READ fan_speed

SET blower fan speed to fan_speed

// Maintain temperature

WHILE ac_status == ON

READ current_temp

IF current_temp > desired_temp THEN

CONTINUE cooling
ELSE

STOP compressor

ENDIF

ENDWHILE

ELSE

STOP cooling system

DISPLAY "AC is turned OFF"

ENDIF

END
Exercise 3:

ANS-

ORIGINAL CODE

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

printf("You just ran your first C program, good job!");

return 0;

OUTPUT - You just ran your first C program, good job!

Modified Code for student number:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

printf("Student Number: 24025727\n");

return 0;

OUTPUT - Student Number: 24025727

Exercise 4:

ANS-

BEGIN

DISPLAY "Enter speed in meters per second (m/s):"

READ speed_mps

SET conversion_factor = 2.23694 // approximate

SET speed_mph = speed_mps * conversion_factor

DISPLAY "The speed in miles per hour (mph) is:", speed_mph


END

Explanation of Each Step


1. DISPLAY "Enter speed in meters per second (m/s):"
○ This is where you prompt the user to provide the speed.
2. READ speed_mps
○ Capture the user’s input (their speed in m/s) and store
it in a variable, for example, speed_mps.
3. SET conversion_factor = 2.23694
○ Prepare a conversion factor (2.23694) that converts
meters/second directly into miles/hour.
4. SET speed_mph = speed_mps * conversion_factor
○ Multiply the user’s input speed by that factor to find
the speed in mph.
5. DISPLAY "The speed in miles per hour (mph) is:", speed_mph
○ Output the converted speed to let the user see the
result.

Exercise 5: Module mark calculation pseudocode

BEGIN

// Step 1: Input marks

DISPLAY "Enter Progress Submission 1 mark (0-100):"

READ ps1

DISPLAY "Enter Progress Submission 2 mark (0-100):"

READ ps2

DISPLAY "Enter Logbook mark (0-100):"

READ logbook

DISPLAY "Enter Mini Coursework mark (0-100):"

READ mini_coursework

DISPLAY "Enter Exam mark (0-100):"


READ exam

// Step 2: Determine if any task needs a resit

// Create a boolean flag or just print messages

IF ps1 <= 39 THEN

DISPLAY "Progress Submission 1 requires a resit"

ENDIF

IF ps2 <= 39 THEN

DISPLAY "Progress Submission 2 requires a resit"

ENDIF

IF logbook <= 39 THEN

DISPLAY "Logbook requires a resit"

ENDIF

IF mini_coursework <= 39 THEN

DISPLAY "Mini Coursework requires a resit"

ENDIF

IF exam <= 39 THEN

DISPLAY "Exam requires a resit"

ENDIF

// Step 3: Calculate overall module mark

// Adjust these weightings if your module differs

SET overall_mark = ( (ps1 * 0.10)

+ (ps2 * 0.10)

+ (logbook * 0.10)
+ (mini_coursework * 0.20)

+ (exam * 0.50) )

// Step 4: Display overall module mark

DISPLAY "Overall module mark is:", overall_mark

END

Exercise 6

ANS-

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int num1, num2, sum;

while(1){

printf("Enter the first number: ");

scanf("%d", &num1);

printf("Enter the second number: ");

scanf("%d", &num2);

sum = num1 + num2;

printf("The sum of %d and %d is %d\n", num1, num2, sum);

if (sum%2 == 0) {

printf("The sum is positive\n");

} else if (sum == 0) {

printf("The sum is zero\n");

else if (sum < 0) {

printf("The sum is negative\n");

}
printf("\n");

return 0;

Input (num1, Sum Expected Actual Output Comments


num2)

(2, 2) 4 Positive The sum is ✓ Correct


positive
(because 4 % 2
== 0)
(2, -2) 0 Zero The sum is ✗ Incorrect (0 is
positive even, so it hits
the sum % 2 == 0
branch).
(3, 2) 5 Positive No “positive,” ✗ Incorrect (5 is
“negative,” or odd, code misses
“zero” message it entirely).
appears
(-5, 3) -2 Negative The sum is ✗ Incorrect
positive (negative even
hits sum % 2 ==
0).
(0, 0) 0 Zero The sum is ✗ Incorrect.
positive

Main Issue: The program confuses “even (sum % 2 == 0)” with “positive”.

Impact: Negative even sums are wrongly labeled “positive,” zero is incorrectly
labeled “positive,” and positive odd sums produce no message.

Evidence: From testing with various integer inputs, the output doesn’t match the
stated goal of telling the user if the sum is “positive, negative, or zero.”
