Q24. [6 Marks] Coding Fundamentals

(a) [1 Mark] Write a C++ statement that declares a character type data, and inilizes it with a
value Q.

(b) [1 Mark] State briefly, why the following code will NOT compile?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
double y = 3;
const int x(5);
while(++y<=6)

if(y%2==1)
cout<<(x-1)<<", ";
}
cout<<endl;

(c) [2 Marks] Write the expression for an if-statement that decides whether an integer
variable called number contains an even numbered value between -10 and +10
inclusive. Write your answer in the given space in if-header.

if(_____________________________________________________)
{
cout<<number<<endl;
}

(d) [2 Marks] Write the corresponding C++ expression for the arithmetic equation given

Q25. [10 Marks] Write a C++ program to numerically calculate the value of ‘x to the power
y’ ( x y ) WITHOUT using the <cmath> library functions. No mark will be awarded if
<cmath> library function is used to solve this problem. (Note: this problem was solved
on the board during the lecture hours)
Program requirements:
(a) Prompt the user to enter the value x. The variable x should be able to accommodate any
real number. No validation is required. [1 Mark]
(b) Prompt the user to enter the value of y. You can assume that the user will enter any
positive INTEGER value including zero. No validation is required. Note: your code
should be able to print 1 if the user enters zero for the variable y. [1 Mark]
(c) Calculate x y , and display the result. [4 Marks]
(d) After displaying the result of this calculation, the program should ask the user whether
s/he wants to continue or not. If the user types y or Y as her/his choice, the above steps
will be repeated otherwise the code will be terminated. [4 Marks]

Sample output:
Enter x value: 2
Enter y value: 0
The result is: 1
More power calculation? (press 'n' to terminate): y
Enter x value: 2.5
Enter y value: 2
The result is: 6.25
More power calculation? (press 'n' to terminate): y
Enter x value: 4
Enter y value: 2
The result is: 16
More power calculation? (press 'n' to terminate): n
Good bye!

Q26. [12 Marks] Write a C++ program with the following specifications:
(a) Prompt the user to enter an integer value n greater than 5. You can assume that the user
will enter an integer number greater than 5; no validation is required. [1 Mark]
(b) Now, based on the input from (a), ask the user to enter these n different integer numbers
from the keyboard and do the following:
i. Validate that each of the entered numbers is in between 4 and 500 inclusive (no mark
will be awarded if the validation is not done inside a loop-structure). You’re only
required to validate the range of the entered numbers. [3 Marks]
ii. Calculate the average of the entered numbers which are divisible either by 3 or 5 but
not divisible by 15. [5 Marks]
iii. Print this average. Note that if there is no entered number divisible either by 3 or 5 but
not divisible by 15, the program should display a message such as “No expected
number was entered”. [3 Marks]

Note: you can use the back side of the previous page for extra space
Sample output:
Enter an integer greater than 5: 66
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 1: 72
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 2: 2
Invalid number!
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 2: 57
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 3: 89
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 4: 689
Invalid number!
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 4: 6
Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 5: 34
---
---

Enter number (between 4 and 500 inclusive) 66: 23

Total entered numbers divisible by 3 or 5 but not by 15, is: 31

Average of these numbers is: 45.34.
Press any key to continue . . .
