SOFT6001 Algorithmic Problem Solving Repeat

The Autumn repeat for this module will be a paper exam held during the normal exam session.

The paper has two questions.
Q1 is worth 70 marks
Q2 is worth 30 marks

Students should answer both questions. The pass mark is 40%


Students should practice for the exam by reviewing the weekly exercises completed in class.

For this exam students need not concern themselves with the Visual Basic interface. Simple INPUT & OUTPUT commands will suffice.

For example:
Question:
Write a program that inputs three integers and outputs the average.

Suggested Solution:

VAR A as Integer
VAR B as Integer
VAR C as Integer
VAR total as Integer
VAR average as Single

INPUT A
INPUT B
INPUT C

total = A + B + C
average = total / 3

OUTPUT average



The programs students will be asked to write in the exam are more complex than this. Students should expect levels of complexity similar to those in Assessment 3.

Google

To: Colin Manning

Thank you for *******

Should any of your students express interest in Google after completing the competition, we wanted to introduce you to some of the resources we've developed exclusively for students. Google has a dedicated website for internship programmes and undergraduate/graduate full-time job opportunities, a YouTube Students Channel, and a Students Blog. All of these resources provide information about applying to and working at Google, and we hope that they are informative and inspiring for your students.

Again, thanks for participating *********

Best Regards,
Google University Programmes Team
