Give an example of global variable.

selection / there are none?

(1 Mark)

Give an example of a local variable.

choice / validnumber str

(1 Mark)

Give an example of a function.

validatedata / MenuOption

(1 Mark)

Explain how a function differs from a procedure.

A function returns a value / a function can be part of an expression whereas a procedure does not return a value / is called as a statement

Write a procedure ConvertToKm to convert miles to kilometers. The conversion formula is: 1 mile = 1.6 km
declare variables MilesStr string Kilometers & Miles double = all three 1 mark correct type 1 mark Good prompt and input string = 1 mark Convert string to double = 1 mark correct assignment to calclate = 1 mark correct output 1 mark MAX 5

An example of boundary data might be the empty string. This should not cause an error but give the empty string as a result. Write the instructions necessary to handle this boundary value. Copy the entire code for your ConvertToKm procedure into your answer.

(4 Marks)

This question refers to testing the procedure

ConvertToKm.

To test a routine adequately, normal, boundary and erroneous data need to be used. Look at your version of the function ConvertToKm. Give two suitable values of normal test data.
try / catch 1 mark If length = 0 1 mark output "" 1 mark

An interior light in a two-door car is controlled by two switched that the drive can turn on or off and two sensors, one per door. The switches are named A and B. The door sensors are named C and D. The interior light is named L. If a door is open the output of its sensor is on. If a door is closed the output of its sensor id off. Of both switches A and B are off then the light L is always off. If switch A is on the light L is always on. If switch B is on and switch A is off then: the light L turns on if one or more of the car doors is opened. The light L turns off if both of the doors are closed. The following symbols are used to represent logic gates: O-

AND OR NOT Using only AND, OR and NOT gates draw a cicuit for this system in the box below. You may not need to use all three types aof gate. +---------------------------------------------------+ | | | | A-O | | | | | | | | | | | B-O | | | | | | O-L | | | | C-O | | | | | | | | | | | D-O | | | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------+
