While-End Loop (Repetition Structure)

Previous  Next 

Hide Description

Create your own simple program using a repetition(i.e Loop) structure. You decide the theme. Provide an overview (i.e Program Design) of what your repetition structure is doing. Then provide the Pseudocode of your example.  Please keep the design simple for this exercise. Just a few lines of code is all that is needed for this response.  

First, write using a For loop for a fixed number of loops.

Then for the same program use a While loop with a sentinel approach.

When using the While loop, you will need some logic to exit the loop and you will need a loop counter.

You could take one of your prompts from Road Trip and create a loop around it. I dont want to see just a loop where you just print out the loop counter. 

Some suggestions:

1)prompt for mileage run daily, count the days, calculate the ave miles per day, display total miles and ave daily miles

2)prompt for grocery costs per week, count the weeks, calculate the ave grocery costs per week, display total grocery costs and ave grocery costs

3)prompt for car miles driven in a month, count the months, calculate the ave miles driven per month, display total miles and ave monthly miles driven

4)prompt for number of movie tickets sold in a night, count the number of nights, calculate the ave tickets sold per night, display the total tickets sold and the ave tickets sold per night.

Remember--- The accumulation of total is done inside the loop. To calculate ave you divide the accumulated total by the number of whatever you are looping. The ave is done after the end of the loop.

2:

Convert Part 1 to C-code. You only need to do one of the loop types.  Don't for get to indent your code.  Put Part 2 - problem no.X in the Subject area and submit a .txt (or .c) file for your code.

Part 3 (optional):

Take your While-End  repetition structure from Part 1 and modify it so that the While condition test uses a Boolean variable. You will need to initialize the Boolean variable prior to the loop as well as set it inside the loop so that you exit the loop appropriately.

Question 1. 

a)  A Computer uses IEEE-754 single precision format to represent floating points. What value (in decimal) the computer represents if the floating point is represented using the following binary digits. Show all the steps used in finding the answer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

        0 01111110 10100000000000000000000 

b) Convert the following numbers. (Please show all steps; no marks will be awarded if no steps are shown)                                                                                                                         

i)    0xAD9 into 3-base representation

ii)   4518 into 2-base (binary) representation

iii) 123.35 into octal representation (up to 3 octal points)

iv)  14.358 into decimal representation

 Question 2. 

Write a MARIE program that accepts an integer from the user, and if it is a prime number the program will output 1, otherwise, the program will output 0. 

Examples: 

If the user input is 17, the output would be 1

If the user input is 2, the output would be 1

If the user input is 15, the output would be 0

If the user input is -2, the output would be 0

You should write and run the program using MARIE simulator. Add enough comments to understand your code.

You do not have to include the .mas file in the submission. Instead, the code should be presented as a word-processed section in the assignment, not as an image. 

Insert images to show you have tested the code with several possibilities.

Question 3.

a) Explain with an example of what is meant by high-order interleaving and low-order interleaving in memory organisation.
