CP 111: Principles of Programming
Assignment Two (Group Assignment)
Question One
a) You need an application that will store your names i.e. Juma Ally, Gender i.e. F or M, GPA i.e.
3.5 and marital status such as Single, Married etc. By applying rules for defining variables in
programming, suggest the appropriate variables and their associated data types (Note, each variable
and its associated data type should appear in one line).
b) Given the following equation a = b + c + d whereby b= 20.5, c = 0.1, d = 10
i. Based on the given equation and values of the variables suggest the appropriate data types
for each variable in the equation
ii. Assume a is declared as integer i.e. int a. suggest the value of a after execution of the above
equation
iii. What will happen when a is declared as char?
iv. T/F (True or False): In programming this equation in b) indicates that the value of the sum
of b, c and d (that is b + c + d) will be assigned to a.
v. T/F (True or False): In programming this equation in b) indicates that the value of the sum
of b, c and d (that is b + c + d) will be compared to a
vi. Represent the above equation variables and their values using RAM Diagram (block) and
explain what is happening in RAM.
vii. What is the difference between a = b + c + d and a = = (b + c + d) in programming?
Question Two
Mr. Gratian has a shop located at 77 in Dodoma region, dealing with buying and selling sunflower
oil. Mr. Gratian wants program that will record number of items in terms of liters bought and sold
per year. The program should also, accept the buying and selling prices for each liter. For each
category the program should also calculate the total purchase and selling amount per year. Lastly,
the program should determine the profit earned (if any).
Based on the given information determine:-
a) The variables associated with defined problem
b) For each variable in a) suggest the appropriate data types
c) Declare (in one line) the variable defined in a) using data types suggested in b)
d) Define the processes involved in this application
e) What variable values will be stored, displayed (printed) and inputted into and from a
program?
f) For each input variables, suggest the appropriated value and work through processes defined
in d) to determine the final values
Question Three: Write a Pseudocode for these problems
a) S = (A + B + C) / Y
b) Convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit (Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 )
c) Area of Circle ( )
d) Volume of Sphere (
e) Average speed (
Question Four:
A programmer from UDOM was tasked to design and implement a C++ program that will record
information and results of Ifakara Primary School. The program will accept the student’s name,
student’s registration number, student’s age, student’s class level, and student’s scores.
After the March midterm examination, the five best students from level III were Alli, Amina, Aisha,
Aminiel, and Aneth. These students are aged 9, 8, 9, 7, and 7 years respectively. All students have
full registration with registration numbers IPSIII001, IPSIII011, IPSIII100, IPSIII87, and IPSIII92.
Aminiel was the best of all students with 95.5 marks. Amina, Aneth, Aisha, and Alli scored 95, 94.5,
93, and 92 respectively. Information of these students was used to test the developed C++ program.
The program works well by printing the report with the student’s registration numbers and respective
scores as well as the average score and the score of the highest performing student.
Answer the following questions regarding the scenario above:
a. Identify the program’s variables; suggest their respective variable names and their respective
data types.
b. Use the IPO chart to analyze scenario
c. Draw the flow chart for the above scenario
d. Write a Pseudocode for the above scenario
Question Five
The management of the Kikoti cafeteria at CIVE has decided to own an information system that will
help to manage the daily purchases and sales. The system records daily purchases and sales, and prints
the daily report of expenditure and sales. The report will show the total expenditure and the total sales
for that particular day.
To accomplish this task, the system has a module that comprises a computer program that accepts the
amount (in kg) of rice purchased, the amount (in kg) of meat purchased, and the number of bunches
of vegetables purchased. The program will also record the number of plates of rice sold, and the
number of bottles of soft drinks sold. The cashier will also record the price for each of the raw
materials purchased and the products sold.
At the end of the working hours, the cashier and the manager will be able to print the daily report.
Answer the following questions regarding the scenario above:
a. Identify the program’s variables; suggest their respective variable names and their respective
data types.
b. Use the IPO chart to analyze the scenario.
c. Draw the flow chart for the above scenario.
d. Write a Pseudocode for the above scenario.
