Q1. Draw a structure diagram for finding your required book from the College Library. [4]

Q2. Name any four types of validation checks with one example each. [4]

Q3. This flowchart inputs the weight of items in kilograms to be loaded on a trailer. Any item over 25

Q4. An algorithm has been written in pseudocode to input 100 numbers and print out the sum.
A REPEAT … UNTIL loop has been used.
Count ← 0
Sum ← 0
REPEAT
INPUT Number
Sum ← Sum + Number
Count ← Count + 1
UNTIL Count > 100
PRINT Sum
(a) Find the error in the pseudocode and suggest the correction.

Q5. This pseudocode algorithm inputs two non-zero numbers and a sign, and then performs the
calculation shown by the sign. An input of zero for the first number terminates the process.
INPUT Number1, Number2, Sign
WHILE Number1 <> 0
IF Sign = '+' THEN Answer Number1 + Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '-' THEN Answer Number1 - Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '*' THEN Answer Number1 * Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign = '/' THEN Answer Number1 / Number2 ENDIF
IF Sign <> '/' AND Sign <> '*' AND Sign <> '-' AND Sign <> '+'
THEN Answer 0
ENDIF
IF Answer <> 0 THEN OUTPUT Answer ENDIF
INPUT Number1, Number2, Sign
ENDWHILE
(a) Complete the trace table for the input data: [6]
5, 7, +, 6, 2, –, 4, 3, *, 7, 8, ?, 0, 0, /

(b) Show how you could improve the algorithm written in pseudocode by writing an alternative type
of conditional statement in pseudocode. [4]
Q6. A programmer has written a routine to store the name, email address and password of a contributor
to a website’s discussion group.
(a) The programmer has chosen to verify the name, email address and password.
Explain why verification was chosen and describe how the programmer would verify this data. [4]
(b) The programmer has also decided to validate the email address and the password.
Describe validation checks that could be used.
