    The document contains a past exam paper for a CS102 Test 2 exam. It has two sections - Section A for theory questions and Section B for practical questions. Section A includes questions about modular programming, variables vs pointers, dangling pointers, compilers vs interpreters, and using structures. Section B includes questions about writing code for a flowchart, drawing a flowchart for a book ordering program, drawing a flowchart for a wind chill index program, writing a program to reverse digits and sum of a 3 digit number, writing a program to sum odd numbers between two integers, and writing a menu driven program to capture and display student details from a file.

    CS102 Test 2 Section A (Theory)

    Question 1
    a) Define the term modular programming [3]
    b) Distinguish a variable and a pointer [4]
    c) Explain the dangling pointer problem [3]
    d) Distinguish a compiler and an interpreter. [6]
    e) Consider the structure
    struct Customer
    {
    int custnum;
    int salary;
    float commission;
    };
    A programmer wants to assign 2000 for the structure member salary in the above example of structure
    Customer with structure variable cust1, Write the line of code he should code. [2]
    Question 2
    a) Write a C code (on paper) which is equivalent to the flowchart shown below. [10]

    b) Amazon wants you to write a program to take book orders from the Internet. Your program asks for the
    book title, its price, and if overnight shipping is wanted. Regular shipping for books under $100 is $20.00;
    for books $100 or more shipping is $30.00. For overnight delivery add $5.00. Draw a flow chart diagram
    of the algorithm for the program. [12]
    c) The wind chill index (WCI) is calculated from the wind speed v in miles per hour and the
    temperature t in Fahrenheit. Three formulas are used, depending on the wind speed:
    If (0 <=v <=4) then WCI =t
    If (v >=45) then WCI =1.6t – 55
    Otherwise, WCI =91.4 + (91.4 –t)(0.0203v – 0.304(v)1/2-0.474).
    Draw a flow chart for the algorithm for the program. [10]
    Section B (Practical)
    Question 3
    Computation is all about dealing with numbers.
    a) Write a program to accept a three digit positive integer, display the digits in reverse
    order and the sum of the digits in the number. As an example, if the number is 279,
    the number in reverse order is 972 and the sum of the digits is 18. Do not use an array.
    [25]

    b) Write a program to accept any two positive integers and display the sum of all odd
    numbers between them inclusive of the two integers. Check and advice if the smaller
    integer has been entered first or last. [25]

    Question 4
    For every new course, one of the duties of a Lecturer is to create a class register.
    Write a menu based program with an option to capture student details (Reg Number,
    FirstName, LastName, Gender, Address, CellNumber, E-mail, Programme and Level)
    for any class size and save them to file, ClassRegister.txt and another option for
    displaying the register (all the file contents). You are free to add other menu options
    but an option for sorting the register by LastName in ascending order is mandatory.
    [50]
    NB Be guided by the following hints for the Expected solution
    Menu implementation – switch case may be used - 5 marks
    Structure definition for the student details – 5 marks
    An array of the structure with class size- 2marks
    A function for capturing student details and -5 marks
    writing them to the file ClassRegister.txt – 3 marks
    A function for reading the file and displaying contents on the screen - 8 marks
    A function for sorting and displaying sorted register -7 marks
    Running program, Functionality-correctness and performing according to
    expectations -5 marks
    Documentation and user friendliness/ User interface design, Validation -10 marks
