2 a) i) Validation: an automatic check that data input is reasonable.

[2]
a) ii) Any three from:
o Range check
o Length check
o Type check
o Format check
o Check digit
[3]
b) Verification is used to check that the data has been accurately copied from one place to another
without introducing any errors. For example, using a visual check by showing the data input on the
screen and asking the user to check that it is as required before accepting that data.

3 a) Structure chart

b) Flowchart
[6]
c) Pseudocode:
REPEAT
OUTPUT "Please enter the weight of your parcel in grams, 10gm to 10kg"
INPUT Weight
UNTIL Weight >= 10 AND Weight <= 10000
IF Weight < 250
THEN
OUTPUT "Small cost $1"
ELSE
IF Weight > 2500<
THEN
OUTPUT "Large cost $5"
ELSE
OUTPUT "Medium cost $3"
ENDIF
ENDIF

4 In order to be able to maintain a program it needs to be easily understood by other programmers. All
the identifiers used in the program should have meaningful names. For example when declaring
constants. and variables. Any code reused in the program should be part of function or procedure The
programmer should include comments to explain how the solution works and the syntax used.
