  Assign each student a unique integer from 1 to 30.

  Step 2:

  Generate a random integer n from 1 to 30.

  Step 3:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

  Step 4:

  Generate a new random integer n from 1 to 30.

  Step 5:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

• Step 1:

  Assign each student a unique integer from 1 to 30.

  Step 2:

  Generate a random odd integer n from 1 to 29.

  Step 3:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

  Step 4:

  Generate a new random even integer n from 2 to 30.

  Step 5:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

• Step 1:

  Assign each student a unique integer from 1 to 30.

  Step 2:

  Generate a random integer n from 1 to 30.

  Step 3:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

  Step 4:

  The student who was selected in the previous step is assigned 0. All other students are reassigned a unique integer from 1 to 29.

  Step 5:

  Generate a new random integer n from 1 to 29.

   Step 6:

  Select the student who is currently assigned integer nand display the student’s name.

A certain game keeps track of the maximum and minimum scores obtained so far. If num represents the most recent score obtained, which of the following algorithms correctly updates the values of the maximum and the minimum?

• If num is greater than the minimum, set the minimum equal tonum. Otherwise, if num is greater than the maximum, set the maximum equal to num.

• If num is less than the minimum, set the minimum equal to num. Otherwise, if num is greater than the maximum, set the maximum equal to num.

• If num is less than the minimum, set the minimum equal to num. Otherwise, if num is less than the maximum, set the maximum equal to num.

• If num is greater than the minimum, set the minimum equal tonum. Otherwise, if num is less than the maximum, set the maximum equal tonum.

A programmer is creating an algorithm that will be used to turn on the motor to open the gate in a parking garage. The specifications for the algorithm are as follows.

-The gate should not open when the time is outside of business hours.

-The motor should not turn on unless the gate sensor is activated.

-The motor should not turn on if the gate is already open.

Which of the following algorithms can be used to open the gate under the appropriate conditions?

• Check if the time is outside of business hours. If it is, check if the gate sensor is activated. If it is, check if the gate is closed. If it is, turn on the motor.

• Check if the time is during business hours. If it is, check if the gate sensor is activated. If it is, check if the gate is open. If it is, turn on the motor.

• Check if the time is during business hours. If it is, check if the gate sensor is activated. If it is not, check if the gate is open. If it is not, turn on the motor.

• Check if the time is during business hours. If it is, check if the gate sensor is activated. If it is, check if the gate is open. If it is not, turn on the motor.

The variable isOpen is to be used to indicate whether or not a store is currently open. Which of the following is the most appropriate data type for isOpen ?

• Boolean

• number

• string

• list

In a certain game, the integer variable bonus is assigned a value based on the value of the integer variable score.

-If score is greater than 100, bonus is assigned a value that is 10 times score.

-If score is between 50 and 100 inclusive, bonus is assigned the value of score.

-If score is less than 50, bonus is assigned a value of 0.

Which of the following code segments assigns bonus correctly for all possible integer values ofscore ?

Select two answers.

• IF(score > 100)

  {

  bonus ← score * 10

  }

  ELSE

  {

  IF(score ≥ 50)

  {

  bonus ← score

  }

  ELSE

  {

  bonus ← 0

  }

  }

• IF(score ≥ 50)

  {

  IF(score > 100)

  {

  bonus ← score * 10

  }

  ELSE

  {

  bonus ← 0

  }

  }

  ELSE

  {

  bonus ← score

  }

• IF(score < 50)

  {

  bonus ← 0

  }

  ELSE

  {

  IF(score ≥ 50)

  {

  bonus ← score

  }

  ELSE

  {

  bonus ← score * 10

  }

  }
