(True/
Questions
False)
1. Programming is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions and
the order are to be executed

2. Logical operators is used to create relational expressions from other relational

expressions

1. Loop specifies a block of one or more statements that are repeatedly executed
3.
until a condition is satisfied

2. Two types of repetition structures (statement) are Counter-controlled and

4.
Sentinel-controlled

5. Comments cause the computer to display the text after // on the screen when
the program is executed.

6. All arguments following the format control string in a printf function must be
preceded by an ampersand (&).

7. A program that prints three lines of output must contain three printf
statements.

8. The output of this statement is 1.5

printf(“%f”, 7.5 % 3);

9. Operation “a=a*b+a” can also be written as “a*=b+1”.

The output of the C statement below is

What does each of the following statements print?
Assume int i=1, j=2, k=3, m=2
d) printf("%d\n", j==3);
e) printf("%d\n", i>=1 && j<4);
f) printf("%d\n",j>=i || k==m);
g) printf("%d\n",!(j-m));

Question 8 (6 marks)

Trace the following program and give the output.

int a = 6;
int b = a--; Output

printf("%d\n", a);
printf("%d\n", b);

a = 6;
b = --a;
printf("%d\n", a);
printf("%d\n", b);

a = 10; b = 12;
a = ++a + b--;
b-=7;
printf("%d\n", a);
printf("%d\n", b);

SECTION C: PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS [35 MARKS]
ANSWER ALL (2) QUESTIONS.

Question 1 (10 Marks)

The following table shows the approximate speed of sound in air, water and steel.

Medium Speed
Air 335.3 meter per second
Water 1493.5 meter per second
Steel 4998.7 meter per second

Write a program that displays a menu allowing the user to select air, water or steel. After the
user has made a selection, he/she should be asked to enter the distance a sound wave will
travel in the selected medium. The program will then display the amount of time take.
(Round the answer to four decimal places)

Input validation: Check that the user has selected one of the available choices from the menu.
Do not accept distances less than 0.

ANSWER :

8
Question 2 (25 MARKS)

A bank charges RM20 per month plus the following check fees for a commercial checking
account:

RM0.50 each for fewer than 10 checks

RM0.40 each for 10-19 checks
RM0.30 each for 20-29 checks
RM0.20 each for 30 or more checks

The bank also charges an extra RM25 if the balance of the account falls below RM500
(before any check fee are applied). Draw a flowchart and write a program that asks for the
beginning balance and the number of checks written. Compute and display the bank’s service
fees for the month.

Input validation: Do not accept a negative value for the number of checks written. If a
negative value is given for the beginning balance, display an urgent message indicating the
account is overdrawn.
