Question 21 exam thoughts (1 Viewer)

Post your thoughts here.

I found it a lot better than I expected, the algorithms they gave weren't as significantly hard as other years.

for desk check i got

Amount / Gst / total / totalgst

22 / 2 / 22 / 2
33 / 3 / 55 / 5
11 / 1 / 66 / 6
ZZZ / 0 / - / -

dont know if im right or wrong, aitn sure at all..

for ZZZ i wrote overflow error lol

For ZZZ, i did ZZZ+amount because i didnt think the data was specified as numeric, but and it didnt call the function again afterwards. I knew it would cause an error tho

I got that...I have no idea whether I was on the right track or not.

I got the same as JRasnier. But ... maybe ZZZ was a sentinel value?

yeah, I thought maybe it was the sentinel, but I don't think they could have expected us to just guess that it was

ZZZ is the sentinel value. hence the value is zero and ZZZ marks the end of the file/whatever.

 

[psycho_mushy]

for the desk check I just kept on adding on from the total....

it says "WHILE" so I just assumed u keep adding on.....

 

[JRasnier]

thats why i put - - to say that it ended, cause it was a sentinel value....lolz everyone thought i missed that kekeke

Wasn't really clear, at least they should of stated it.

 

[Ragerunner]

ah crap.

I took total = 0 and gst_total = 0 for every check

I didn't add it...

so i got my output as

22,2
33,3
11,1

and i wrote END as the output for my sentinel value since they indicate the end of the algorithm and there is nothing left but to end the algorithm.

wow i really scrweed that up.

 

[squ34ki]

i just ignored the ZZZ and put 66 as the output, geez, i don't know
but the paper wasn't as hard as i expected

i said it was a logic error, you cant add characters and integers
added the gst_total tho, that was ok.

you cant really interpret it as a sentenial error, unless they state it.

Well can't say I'm right. But EOF can be marked by a sentinel value given by a number of characters, a value or number.

Well time to play cs before I have to go study for economics on Wednesday hsc still not over for me

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

i thought it was EOF as well.
i g0t the rest same as u guyz, i was stuck on that question, didnt know wtf to do until i came back and just subbed info into it. lol.

but the sentinal wasn;t defined in the algorithm, the sentinal could be 101 or x for all that we know
