 Fig. 2 shows part of the array, with 4 students.

For example, student 1, on Monday (day 0), played 30 minutes of computer games.

He wants to output the number of minutes student 3 played computer games on Wednesday (day 2).
He writes the code:
print (hoursPlayed[3,2])

The output is 20.

Write the code to output the number of minutes student 0 played computer games on Wednesday.

[1]

(i) State the output if Heath runs the code:

print (hoursPlayed[2,1])

[1]

(ii) State the output if Heath runs the code:

print (hoursPlayed[3,1] + hoursPlayed[3,2])

[1]

(iii) Write an algorithm to output the total number of minutes student 0 played computer games from
Monday (day 0) to Friday (day 4).

 An item is classified as "In demand" if OCR Tech have between 5 and 25 inclusive in stock.

A program is written that allows the user to input the current stock level and output whether the item is
in demand or not.

stocklevel = input("Enter stock level")

if stocklevel >= 5 or =< 25 then
print(Not in demand)
else
print(In demand)
endif

The program contains syntax and logic errors.

Refine the program to correct the errors and write the refined version of the program.

You must use either:

• OCR Exam Reference Language, or

• A high-level programming language that you have studied
