4. Tab sheet [Volume]:
Button [Calculate Volume]
A mathematical game needs to determine the volume of a model house
consisting of a triangular prism as the roof and a rectangular prism as the base.
Declarations of the variables needed have been provided. Code has also been
provided to assign a value of 6 to the height of the house in the variable
iHouseHeight.
Write code to do the following:
• Make use of dialog boxes to store input from the user for the length and
width of the model house and the height of just the roof.
• Determine the volume of the roof and the entire house making use of the
following formulas:
o Volume of triangular prism (Roof):
1 / 2 X Roof Height X Width X Length
o Volume of rectangular prism (Base of house):
Length X Width X House Height
• Calculate and display the percentage that the volume of the roof is of the
total house volume.
• Display the volume of the house and the roof percentage, both formatted to
ONE decimal place in the rich edit redVolume.
Example of output when 3 was entered as the height of the roof and 7 and 9
were entered for the width and length of the house respectively.

chkExtended the expiry date is 60 days from the date of activation.
o If they selected the extended option, the expiry date is 90 days from the
date of activation.
• Display the date of expiry in the same format as in the examples of output in
the rich edit redExpiry.
• Determine and display the day of the week on which the software will
expire.

7. Tab sheet [Harshad]:
Button [Harshad Number]
A Harshad number is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits.
For example, 195 is a Harshad number:
1 + 9 + 5 = 15
195 is divisible by 15 with no remainder.
A program is needed to determine whether a number is a Harshad number.
Write code to do the following:
• Store input from the user for a number of any length.
• Calculate the sum of all the digits in the number.
• Determine if the number is divisible by the sum of its digits without a
remainder. If it is, it is a Harshad number.
• Display a suitable message in the label lblHarshad indicating whether it is a
Harshad number or not.
Examples of output
(11)
8. Tab sheet [Hexadecimal]:
Button [Calculate Hexadecimal]
Decimal numbers can be converted to hexadecimal numbers by repeatedly
dividing the number by 16 until the result is 0 and writing the remainders in
reverse order. The numbers 10 to 15 are represented by the letters A to F.
Code to store the letters A to F in a variable sLetters has been provided:
sLetters := 'ABCDEF';
Copyright reserved Please turn over
Write code to do the following:
• Store the decimal number entered by the user in sedDecimal.
• Initialise the output string sHexa.
• Convert the decimal number to its corresponding hexadecimal number using
the following algorithm:
While the decimal number is greater than zero continue to do the following:
o Determine and store the remainder when the decimal number is divided
by 16.
o If the remainder is a number from 10 to 15 do the following:
▪ Deduct nine from this number.
▪ Add the character from the provided variable sLetters, in the
position determined by the calculation above, to the left of the
output string.
For Example: If the remainder was 10, 10 – 9 = 1, therefore the
letter in position 1 i.e. 'A' will be added to the left of the output
string.
o If the remainder is a number from 0 to 9, add the remainder to the left
of the output string.
o Divide the decimal number by 16 and store this answer in the decimal
number variable, overwriting its original value.
• Display the output string in edtHexa.
Examples of input and output:
(11)
• Enter your Name and Surname as a comment in the first line of the program file
frmQuestion1_U.
• Save all the files ('File/Save All').
• Printouts of the code for the unit (frmQuestion1_U) will be required.
