Section A
You are advised to spend no longer than 40 minutes answering this section.

In preparation for the examination candidates should attempt the following practical tasks by
writing and testing a program or programs.
A program is needed to allow a Wildlife Park to sell tickets. A booking consists of one or more
tickets for the same day(s) and can be made up to a week in advance. A booking can be made for
a visit of one day or two consecutive days. A booking can have extra attractions included. A
booking will be valid for the day(s) chosen only.

Ticket Type Cost for one day Cost for two days
one adult $20.00 $30.00
one child (an adult may bring up to two children) $12.00 $18.00
one senior $16.00 $24.00
family ticket (up to two adults or seniors and three children) $60.00 $90.00
groups of six people or more, price per person $15.00 $22.50

Exam attraction Cost per person

lion feeding $2.50
penguin feeding $2.00
evening barbecue (two-day tickets only) $5.00

Write and test a program or programs for the Wildlife Park:

• Your program or programs must include appropriate prompts for the entry of data. Data must
be validated on entry.
• All outputs, including error messages, need to be set out clearly and understandably.
• All variables, constants and other identifiers must have meaningful names.

You will need to complete these three tasks. Each task must be fully tested.

Task 1 – displaying the ticket options and the extra attractions available
Set up your program to:
• display the options, attractions and prices for one-day tickets
• display the options, attractions and prices for two-day tickets
• show the days available for booking; assume that there are tickets available for any valid day.

Task 2 – process a booking

Extend your program for Task 1 to:
• input the tickets and extra attractions required, then calculate the total cost of the booking
• allocate a unique booking number
• display the booking details, including the total cost and the unique booking number
• repeat as required.

Task 3 – ensuring each booking is the best value

Check that the total for each booking gives the best value and offer an alternative if this is not the
case.
For example, buying two family tickets is better than a group ticket for a group of 10 that includes
four adults and six children.

NO
i<=3 Print “Done”

YES
Stop
j=i+1

NO
j<=3

i j temp num (i) num (j) output

YES
1 2 9 5 9

num[ i ] > num[ j ] 4
NO 2 3 9 7 9
4
YES
3 4
temp = num[ i ]
num[ i ] = num[ j ] 4 done
num[ j ] = temp

j=j+1

i=i+1

a. Trace the above flowchart and write down the value of num ( i ) and num ( j ) when i was 1. [3]

3. Study the pseudocode given below carefully.
Declare passw( 6) as string
Read passw(6) f rom f ile
passw( 6) = ( "T", " !", "O", "w ", "$", " # " )
attempt = 0
WHILE attempt < 2
INPUT "Ent er the f irst character", f $
IF passw(1) <> f $ THEN
PRINT "Access denied"
ELSE
INPUT " Enter the f if th character", f v$
IF passw( 5) <> f v$ THEN
PRINT " Access denied"
ELSE
INPUT " Enter the sixth character ", sx$
IF passw( 6) <> sx$ THEN
PRINT " Access denied"
ELSE
PRINT " Access granted"
END IF
END IF
END IF
attempt = attempt + 1
END WHILE

a. Trace the above pseudocode for the following sets of inputs:

Set 1: t, T, $, 3
Set 2: T, 4, T, $, # [4]

attempt f$ fv$ sx$ output
