Write the C++ statement that will replace the substring “Economy” in the string “Economy Class”
with “Business”, so that the value of the variable ticket becomes “Business Class” . (2)

4.3 Convert the following for loop to a while loop (3)

for (int i = 12; i >= 5; i-=1)
cout << “#” << endl;

4.4 What is the output of the following code fragment? (2)

++counter1;
for (int j = 0; j <= 4; ++j)
{
if (i == j)
++counter2;
}

cout << counter1 << " " << counter2;

4.5 Consider the following code for a textbook store: (6)

float price = 500; //standard price
char productStatus;

cin >> productStatus;

if(productStatus == ‘f’) //the book is sold at full price

price = price;
else if(productStatus == ‘d’) //the book is sold at a discount
price = price – (price *0.10);
else if(productStatus == ‘o’) //the book is out of stock
cout << “Out of stock” << endl;
else
cout << "Invalid product status!" << endl;

Convert the nested if statement into a switch statement.

QUESTION 5 6 marks

Write a function header for each of the following (Write ONLY the function header):

5.1 The function circle() that receives the radius of a circle as a floating point value parameter, and
calculates the area and circumference of the circle, storing the results in two reference
parameters. (2)

5.2 The function countSpaces() that returns the number of spaces in a string received as a
parameter. (2)

5.3 The function searchArray() that receives an array of integers intArray and an integer
check as its parameters. The function returns a true value if the integer check is in the array
intArray. (2)

QUESTION 7 12 marks

The below table contains the stock of three types of furniture items in three different upholstery covering
material. The numbers in stock have to be stored in a two-dimensional integer array.

Suede Leather Cotton

Couch 50 10 20
Chair 40 50 60
Ottoman 30 20 10

7.1 Write the program statements to declare an integer constant STOCK_ITEMS for the number of
different furniture items in stock, and an integer constant NR_MATERIALS for the number of
upholstery types. (2)

7.2 Write down the necessary C++ statement to declare and initialise the stockArray with the values
in the table. Use the constants declared in 7.1 (2)

7.3 For stock taking purposes, the owner wants to know how many units of furniture are in the shop.

(a) Write down the necessary C++ statements to calculate and display the total number of furniture
items in the shop. Do NOT write a complete program. Write down ONLY the required statements.
Assume the following declaration:

int totalItems = 0;
(4)

(b) Write down the necessary C++ statements to calculate and display the total number of leather
furniture items in the shop. Do NOT write a complete program. Write down ONLY the required
statements. Assume the following declaration: (4)

int leatherItems = 0;

QUESTION 8 15 marks

The Great Golf Club registers the following information for each player on a specific day:
 name (a string, for example “Gary Player”)
 handicap (an integer, for example 10)
 shots (an integer, for example 49)

8.1 Write down the declaration for a struct for storing the information associated with one player.
Give the name Player to the struct. (4)

8.2 Declare an array named players with 50 elements of type Player. (2)

8.3 Assume that the information for 50 golf players have been stored in the array declared in 8.2. The
program fragment below determines which player had the lowest score for the day. The score for
each player is determined by deducting the player’s handicap from the number of shots the player
has taken. Then the name and the score for the player with the lowest score is printed.

Now write down ONLY the necessary C++ instructions for line numbers 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 12 to
complete this program fragment. Write down only the line number and the instruction that should
appear next to the line number. (9)

1. int lowestScore;
2. int winningPlayer; //used within the loop to store the index of
//the player with the lowest score
3. int score; //used within the loop to store the calculated score
//for a player

4. //set lowestScore to the score of the first player in the array

5. //set winningPlayer to the index of the first player

6. //search through array(declared in 8.2) to find the player with

//the lowest score
7. for ( ) //examine all players
8. {
9. //determine score for player being inspected
10. //determine lowest score and which player had lowest score
11. }
12. //print the name and score of the player with the lowest
//score

QUESTION 9 6 marks

In this question the main() is given. You have to write a function removeChar that is called from the
main().

The function removeChar receives a string as parameter. The function has to do the following:
 find all occurrences of “i” in the string and erase them
 return the changed string to the main()

Example, if the string

Incy wincy spider

is given, the string

Incy wncy spder

should be returned to the main(). Write ONLY the function removeChar. (6)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

//insert function removeChar here

int main()
{
string sentence;
//prompt user to enter a sentence
cout << "Enter a sentence:" << endl;
getline(cin, sentence, '\n');
//output
cout << "New sentence:" << endl;
cout << removeChar(sentence) << endl;
return 0;
}
