Answer all questions in the spaces provided.
[40 marks]
Question 1: Short Answers
i. A source program, cannot be executed until it is translated into machine language. Draw
a diagram that demonstrates the process of program translation.
[2 marks]
ii. List down two important rules for evaluating arithmetic expressions.
[2 marks]
Both operands are integers: result is integer
One operand is floating-point: result is floating-point
iii. What is a symbolic constant? Provide a C++ example declaration of a symbolic constant

Example:
const PI = 3.142 OR
#define PI 3.142
iv. Describe the meaning of an ‘infinite loop’ and a ‘fixed count loop’ in repetition.
[2 marks]
- An infinite loop is a loop with an expression that is always true and never ends.

v. Explain with examples the three (3) types of logical operators in C++.
[5 marks]
 AND operator, &&:

 Example: (age > 40) && (term < 10)
 OR operator, || (double vertical bar):
 Compound condition is true if either one of the expressions is true or if both
conditions are true
 Example: (age > 40) || (term < 10)
 NOT operator, !:
 Changes an expression to its opposite state
 If expression is true, then !expression is false
Question 2: Output Identification

cout << num / 10000 << " ";
num = num % 10000;
cout << num / 1000 << " ";
num = num % 1000;
cout << num / 100 << " ";
num = num % 100;
cout << num / 10 << " ";
num = num % 10;
cout << num << endl;

SECTION 4: Programming Question
Answer all questions in the spaces provided.
[25 marks]
Question 1:
In Japan, vending machines are not only used to buy drinks or snacks, but also to buy books or
magazines. You are required to create a C++ program that acts as vending machine that is able
to dispense novels, magazines and newspapers. Each category of item consists of 3
different titles to be represented by any characters between a-z (ie., name the titles as ‘a’, ‘b’,
‘c’, etc….). Given that the initial number of items in all categories is 9 units (3 units for each
item), use the ‘while’ and ‘switch-case statements to perform the following:
a. Draw a simple flow chart for your program (refer to the relevant symbols in the
attachment)
b. Your program should prompt the user to enter the amount of items they want to
purchase (e.g, entering 5 means user can buy 5 items in any combination of categories)
and display the titles selected (you may just use a cout for titles).
c. Your program should calculate the total price to be paid for all items purchased by
the user at the end of the program.
Line No. Correction
2 #include <iomanip>
6 cout << setw(6) << setfill('*') << average << endl;
10 if (average == 22.5) {
13 cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << average << endl; }

of 16
d. Once an item in each category is purchased, the number of items will decrease by one.
Your program should be able to print the balance of each category of item at the end of
the program.
The following is the sample output of your program:
Please enter number of items: 2
Item 1
Choose the type of item (1 – novel, 2 – magazine, 3 – newspaper) : 1
Enter title : ‘a’
You have selected the novel “In the eyes of the night”
The price of this item is RM 10.
Item 2
Choose the type of item (1 – novel, 2 – magazine, 3 – newspaper) : 3
Enter title : ‘z’
You have selected the newspaper “The New Straits Time”
The price of this item is RM 2.50.
Total price of all items is RM 12.50
Balance for novel is 2
Balance for newspaper is 2
