the first letter was a repeated letter meaning 0 or more times... there didnt need to be an option. same as the last digit.
and for 6.... my dads an electronic engineer and he reckons "meets specifications"
though if that is the answer it destroys a nice round 20/20... ah well
i compared it to a bubble sort...first thing that came into my mind and it was easy to draw comparisons of the 2.
for the algorithm.... thomas0087 i think yours will get an overflow at the end. you will end up comparing zebra to lizzard, putting lizzard in. then C2 = C2 + 1... which will...
hrmmm most people are talking about evo... yet the poll says most people did the other one.. like me
twas good. a couple of them were interesting... i think thats where i lost the most marks on the paper lol!! i can count 3-4marks lost on that one...
loved the logic gate questions =D
LOL! anyone who says stupid things like "i finished at 2:20".... the exam started at 2....if you finished at 2:20 your getting a really really really low mark lol
i finished at 4.. and then found errors in the algorithm, so spent the next 30mins perfecting it lol
but yeah. 90+ for sure...
agree with Casmira here. i put everything into an array of records.... i went slightly overboard and divided the array into years, months and days... but oh well.
then yeah, extract the data for a given month and then run a max/min search on it
yay got the same answers as at the start
if question 6 is C... which i have a feeling it is (dads an electronic engineer, he says it was C). ... then 19/20 =D
as for question 17. most deffinatly B
the two numbesrs that get passed into the sub program are i and j.
then i is assigned...
hrmmm
it was a harder paper than in previous years.. nothing there too challenging though!
a couple of forgotten formulae and running out of time at the end was all that got me.... 113 if i didnt stuff up anything else.. which always happens lol.
as for q 10... both parts easily doable...
data dictionaries are contained in both the planning stage and the implementation stage.
from the syllabus:-
9.2.3 Implementation of software solutions
Students Learn About
Documentation of a software
solution
• forms of documentation, including:
– process diary
– user...
lol
the trials appear to be harder because they are crammed into a far smaller time span than the HSC. well at least for our school anyway.... and for me i had my 8 exams in 5 days in the trials, for the HSC it is spread out over 3 weeks.
for the error detecting bit just tac something like this after
Inventfile.QuantityAvail = Inventfile.QuantityAvail + StkQuantity
IF inventfile.quantityAvail <= 3 THEN
PRINT There are only "& inventfile.quantity & " of stock number " & inventfile.stocknumber & " in stock.
END IF
i wrote a version of monopoly in VB6.
almost worked perfectly too cept for one unforseen place where you could cheat lol.
part from that it was an awesome project to do... have to be reasonable at coding though and not worry about spending a lot of time figuring things out lol. soo many...
