1
Algorithms
An array called items contains [12, 45, 7, 30, 19] at indices 0 to 4. Describe how a linear search would locate the value 30, stating the number of comparisons needed.
2
Translators and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
Explain why an interpreter is often preferred while a program is being written.
3
1D and 2D Array Processing: Writing and Tracing Programs
Explain why a running maximum should be initialised to the first element of the array rather than to 0.
4
Programming Fundamentals
A FOR loop runs: total = 0, FOR i = 1 TO 4, total = total + i, NEXT i. State the value of total after the loop finishes.
5
Producing Robust Programs
Give one example of erroneous test data for a field that only accepts whole numbers from 1 to 10.
