I got 18/20 from your answers Mars, that band 6 is still in reach.

I put down B for question 17 (anybody who knows how to program at a decent standard will know why) and B for question 6. I'm not 100% on question 6, but they might reward marks for both of them, since the question has such a divide.

I remember in the BOS Multiple Choice Database they had a question with 2 answers, so I'm guessing they may do it again this time.

So what questions did you get wrong then if you don't mind me asking?

Just textbook errors. 13 caught me out (didnt notice the lack of defined '3'), and 8 I just glanced over..
13. D
8. C

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 to j, and j to k.

k=j is saying j=i
then print k effectivly means print i

so thats 1
and then back in the main program k is printed ,which is 3


question 13 cant be D because D contains a 3 which does not exsist under <digit>

You can have a program which meets specifications but it may not be elegant or reliable. Two things that Quality Assurance ensures. I'll be suprised if they say C is more correct than B.

Oh shut up you geek :rolleyes:
Just messing with ya buddy..


Such a cliche SDD comment to make.

If 6 is C which I'm torn over then I infact got 17/20. 17 is nowhere near as good as 18. :(

;) lol

i honestly think that they will give marks to both answers.

its too indifferent NOT to, i lean towards the answer being B but i can see that C is just as correct.

Whats with everyone getting Q1 wrong (in respect wiht me). I'm hells sure that the answer is A, because I really dont think they're talking about standard approach methods, just a general approach to the problem.

Question 1 - A (Client Empowering Approach) is equivalent to Question 2 - B (Phased Development).

Non existing.

question 17 should be B

try it in a programming language, like me :)

in C++...

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void process(int j,int k){
     k = j;
     cout << k;                //this line is the same as 'print k'
}
void main(){
     int i = 1;
     int j = 2;
     int k = 3;
     process(i,j);
     cout << k;                //this line is the same as 'print k'
}
the ouput is 1 3 , therfore, answer must be B. you have to keep in mind that j,k in process subporgam is not the j,k in mainprogram.

well, thats what i (and c++) thinks anyway.

Absolutly. That's my reasoning. I hope that they mark B as the correct answer. When are the solutions/examiner's comments released? After we get our uai?

To indent it use the code tag. Anyway, for that question you just needed to understand variable scope and parameter passing.

Exactly, what are you all wasting your time trying the same code in the different programming languages? Its simply programming mechanics...
