I only disagree on 2 of them:

9 is B
Int(RND*6 + 1), this has a max value of 6.9999, and it doesn't round up so it can't have a value of 7.

17 is A
Be careful, it says it is indexed from 0.

Other than those I think you got them all right, however there is one I am not sure about, for 11 I put C. It was a guess between C and D so I am curious which one it is.

I got the same as syper except for a couple:

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. D
5. C
6. A
7. C
8. C
9. D
10. B
11. C -- the print subprogram is called by the mainline, so C is the only answer
12. C
13. C
14. A
15. B
16. A
17. A --- i think you start counting the characters in the string at 0 not 1
18. D
19. A
20. B

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. D
5. C
6. A
7. C
8. C
9. B
10. B
11. C
12. C
13. C
14. A
15. B
16. A
17. C
18. C
19. A
20. B

9 is B as the highest T1 can reach is 5.9999 while the minimum is 0, the next line T2 has a max of 6.9999 and a min of 1, T3 rounds down so its between 6 and 1 which is from rolling a dice.

11 i wasnt too sure, but the fact that D had the print process sending the A back towards "do this", "do that" didnt seem right. im fairly sure the answer is C

crap i realised i put C down for 12 in the exam, damnit damnit damnit such an easy question

18, im sure thats open to debate but imo kids shouldnt be involved in deciding their own education. i put down C, but i can see how it would be D even though their input is probably limited to their opinions of how pretty the pictures are in the program.

edit
"i think you start counting the characters in the string at 0 not 1"
oh god damnit argh!!!!

Choosing a number between 1 and 7. Does not say including 1 and 7, open to debate I think. Because between 1 and 7 there 6.99999 would fit in.

As Ianc stated, C is correct for 12.

18, im sure thats open to debate but imo kids shouldnt be involved in deciding their own education. i put down C, but i can see how it would be D even though their input is probably limited to their opinions of how pretty the pictures are in the program
They would take into consideration whether or not the kids got bored, confused etc.

Yes but it gets rounded down, so the values are 1,2,3,4,5, or 6. That is definantly comparable to dice.

Nice work, i got the same thing except for 9, 11 and 20.

For 9 i got b

range is 0 to 1 Not inclusive
x 6
So we get 0 to 6 Not inclusive
+1
becomes 1 to 7 Non Inclusive
But the function 'int' only takes the integer, or only rounds down (whatever way you want to look at it.

So you end up with 1 though to 6

Almost got tricked, but i remembered a error i made in a program with using int like that.



For 11 i got C as the mainline is the controling process 'Do something' finishes and does not call any other modules. Therefore it can only be A or C and since A shows 'do this' and 'do that' calling 'print' which is not correct either i got c.


Q20 i'm not to sure with, i said C partly because B is too obvious (for question 20) as all you have to do is recount the order given in the question. But it says that the data was put in secondary storage via the register. I don't know if this is possible. Straight from the cpu memory to the secondary storage.... operating systems are needed to operate the hardware for a start.... to place in in the correct place and stuff. I could easily be wrong but i though that is must go through something else first. So i said c.

Thats why i choose them, anyone else get anything different. Let me know if i got stuff wrong i want to dwell.

PS... got 17 wrong, stupid index.

16. a)
17. a)
18. c)
19. a)
20. b)

Thats my answers, likely I didnt get them all right, but I think I did fairly. Actually looking at everyone elses answers I think I could have got 20/20 *dances a merry jig*. But the writing is worth 80% so likelyhood of 100% is low :p

Edit: arghhh frick, stupid 12 being c... arghhh I cant believe I made that mistake

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. D
5. C (This was an odd question as it said "hardware environment")
6. A
7. C
8. C (I think it was C as not meeting needs is a defining issue, not implementation)
9. B
10. B
11. C (It is not D as the subprocesses are ALL called from "main", not "do something")
12. C
13. C
14. A
15. B
16. A
17. A
18. D (Kids are users, teachers know to teach. Parents have nothing to do with it)
19. A
20. B (I thought maybe this was a trick question?)

i rekon 18 is C because y would u want to survey kindergaten children when they cant even read?? so C is the logical answers as teachers and parents are most likely to predict the needs of the children, in terms of the software
