QUESTION 2 4 MARKS

In Questions 2.1 and 2.2 you have to write down what the purpose of the segment of code is. Look at
the following example before answering the questions:

int a,b,c;
cin >> a >> b >> c;
cout << c + b + a;

The purpose of the above code segment is to input three integer values and display their sum.

Now answer questions 2.1 and 2.2 below:

2.1 Assume that s and n have been declared as integers. Explain in words what the purpose of
the following segment of code is: (2)

int s = 0;
int n = 0;
while (n <= 5)
{
s = s + n;
n++;
}

2.2 Explain the purpose of the following segment of code: (2)

int numbers[ ] = {11, 0, 15, 0, 16, 23};

int c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
if (numbers[i] != 0)
c += 1;

QUESTION 3 8 MARKS

Consider the following C++ code segment below.

1 int result(int valueP)

2 {
3 int a = 2;

QUESTION 7 6 MARKS

In this question you have to write a complete function.

The Fruit Packers keep record of the number of crates of fruit that are packed for each day for
a whole year (365 days). These 365 values are stored in an int array called crates. You have to write
a function, called calcAverage to determine the average number of crates packed per day for the
year.

Assume the following:

• a declaration of a global constant:
const int NUM_DAYS = 365; // number of days per year
• two declaration statements in the main function:

int crates[NUM_DAYS]; // array of days

int average; // the average number of crates

QUESTION 9 8 MARKS

Bookworm bookstores announced a competition running over four weeks for their three branches.
The branch with the highest sales per week will receive a surprise for that week. You as a
programmer are requested to write a program to keep record of the number of books sold per week in
each of the three branches over this period of four weeks. The (incomplete) program below inputs the
respective number of books sold and stores it in a two-dimensional array called sales, with four rows
and three columns. The program then displays for each week, the highest number of books sold.
Here is an example of the input data for the program:

Number of registrants Fee per person

1 through 14 R 100
5 through 10 R 80
11 or more R 60

Week 1 100 120 103

Week 2 96 122 111
Week 3 110 101 119
Week 4 106 99 102

And the corresponding output:

The highest sales in week 1 were 120 books.

The highest sales in week 2 were 122 books.
The highest sales in week 3 were 119 books.
The highest sales in week 4 were 106 books.

Use the declarations in the (incomplete) program below and do the following:

9.1 Declare the two- dimensional array sales. (2)

9.2 Assume array sales have been initialised. Write a program fragment to determine and
display the highest sales per week. (6)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int NUM_WEEKS = 4;
const int NAME = 3;
int main()
{
int highest;

// array sales should be declared here (part 9.1)

// Assume statements to input the array here

// Do not write these statements

// Your statements to determine and display the highest

// number of sales per week (part 9.2 of the question)

Function signature Description

Int size() Returns the size (i.e., length) of a

string object.

string substr(int,int) Returns a substring of a string object.

The first parameter specifies the
starting position (i.e. the position
from which the substring should be
copied) and the second parameter
specifies how long the substring should
be (i.e. how many characters should be
copied). The second parameter may be
omitted, in which case the sub-string
consisting of all the characters from
the starting position (specified by the
first
and only parameter) to the end of the
string are returned.

Int find(string,int) Returns the position of a string

(specified as the first parameter)
within a string object. The second
parameter is optional,and can be used to
specify where the search has to be
commenced. If omitted, the search
commences at the beginning of the string
object. If the string being sought is
not found, -1 is returned.

void insert(int,string) Inserts a string (specified as the second

parameter) into a string object at a
particular position (specified as the
first parameter)
void erase(int,int) Erases a substring from a string object.
The substring that is to be erased is
determined by the two parameters: from
the position specified by the first
parameter, as many
characters as specified by the second
parameter

void replace(int,int,string) Replaces specified characters of a string

object with another string. The
characters to be replaced are determined
by the first two parameters: from the
position specified by the first
parameter, as many characters as
specified by the second parameter. The
string to be inserted in their place is
specified by the third parameter.
