3. A software engineer is working with some algorithm.

(a) An algorithm needs to be developed. 2

The algorithm must:

• Check for a change of hour every minute.

• use the library subprogram getHour () to get the hour part of the current time.

• in the 24-hour clock (0 to 23)

• output “Good morning” when the hour is between 3 and 12, inclusive.

• output “Good afternoon” when the hour is between 13 and 19, inclusive.

• output “Good night” at all other times.

• Complete the flowchart to represent this algorithm, in the space provided on the

• next page.

The call to the library subprogram getHour () has already been included.
Use this subprogram symbol to show waiting for 1 minute. 6
Draw your flow chat here.
(b) Another algorithm determines when to change the flavored syrups for a drinks

dispensing machine.

Figure-1 shows this algorithm written in pseudocode.

11 SET flavours TO [“anise”, “mango”, “cola”, “apple”, “papaya”, “strawberry”,

“lychee”, “banana”]
12
13 SET volume TO [0.7, 0.2, 0.6, 0.1, 0.05, 0.8, 0.4, 0.6]
14
15 SET i TO 0
16
17 WHILE i < 8 DO
18
19 IF (volume[i] < 0.1) THEN
10 SEND (flavours[i] & “ needs changing”) TO DISPLAY
11
12 ELSE
13 IF (volume[i] >= 0.3) AND (volume[i] <= 0.5) THEN
14 SEND (flavours[i] & “ needs ordering”) TO DISPLAY
15 END IF
16 END IF
17
18 SET i TO i + 1
19
20 END WHILE

Figure-1
(i) Give the output produced by the algorithm. 2

The algorithm works with a fixed number of flavours.

(ii) Give the number of the line in the algorithm that would need to be amended to allow 1
for any number of flavours.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………….……………………………………..…………….…………………………………………………
(iii) State how the pseudocode needs to be changed to make this amendment. 1

4. Different algorithms can be used to manipulate data.

Open Q04 in the code editor.

Write a program to display the square and cube of a number between 1 and 50
entered by a user.

Th code must:
ask the user to enter a number between 1 and 50 inclusive
• display the number, the square of the number and the cube of the number,
appropriate labels
• stop when a number outside the range 1 to 50 is entered.

Save your code as Q04FINISHED with the correct file extension for the
programming language.
