foreign currencies.
Start
Read myr, currency
IF (currency == usd)
a = myr * 4.0
(i) _______ (currency == eur)
a = myr * 5.2

(ii) ________
Display "Please enter USD, EUR, or JPY only."
(iii) ________
Display” Converted amount: ", a
End

QUESTION 3
A repetition control structure or loop is a programming construct that allows a set of statements
to be executed repeatedly based on a specified condition.
a) Describe a difference between pre-test loop and post-test loop.
b) List the key requirements to develop a post-test loop.
c) Based on your answer in (b), draw the flowchart to show the execution of post-test loop.
QUESTION 4

PART C
Sekolah Kebangsaan Ceria Selalu is creating a quiz program for Standard 1 students to learn
about alphabets and numbers. The program begins by welcoming the user and asking them to
start. If the user decides not to start the game, it will end. Users can choose between two quizzes:
Alphabets or Numbers. If the user makes a mistake, the program prompts them to enter the
correct quiz code.
Each quiz consists of two questions, and users must answer both. For each correct answer, the
program responds with "Correct! You earned 1 point" and increases the score by 1. If the answer
is incorrect, the program reveals the correct answer but does not award any points.
Table 1 below shows the list of the questions Alphabets quiz:
Table 1 Alphabets’ quiz
No Questions Accepted answers
1. What is the first letter of the alphabets? A or a
2. What is the last letter of the alphabets? Z or z
Table 2 below shows the list of the questions Numbers quiz:
Table 2 Numbers’ quiz
No Questions Accepted answers
1. What is the first number 1
2. What is 1 + 1 2
After completing a quiz, the total score will be displayed. Then, the user will be asked if they want
to continue with another quiz or stop the game. If the user chooses to stop the game, the
accumulated score from all quizzes will be displayed before the system shows a closing message.
