1a) Convert decimal number 234 to a number in each of the following systems: [3m]
i) Binary 11101010
ii) Octal 352

2. A C code segment is given as follows:
switch (food)
{ case ‘I’ : case ‘i’:
printf(“fried mee”);
break;
case ‘D’ : case ‘d’:
printf(“nasi lemak”);
break;
case ‘P’ : case ‘p’:
printf(“nuggets”);
break;
case ‘M’ : case ‘m’:
printf(“KFC”);
break;
}
a) Rewrite the C code segment above using the if statement. [6m]
if ((food==’I’ ) (food==’i’ ))
printf(“fried mee”);
else if ((food==’D’ ) (food==’d’ ))
printf(“nasi lemak”);
else if ((food==’P’ ) (food==’p’ ))
printf(“nuggets”);
else if ((food==’M’ ) (food==’m’ ))
printf(“KFC”);
3. A student wishes to calculate the total value of the coins in a savings box manually. Design an algorithm to calculate the total value of the coins in Ringgit Malaysia.[6m]
1.start
2.read total unit of one cent, t_one
3.read total unit of five cent, t_five
4.read total unit of ten cent, t_ten
5.read total unit of twenty cent, t_twenty
6.read total unit of fifty cent, t_fifty
7.Tot_one= 0.01 * t_one
8.Tot_five= 0.05 * t_five
9.Tot_ten= 0.10 * t_ten
10.Tot_twenty= 0.20 * t_twenty
11.Tot_fifty= 0.50 * t_fifty
12.sum= Tot_one+ Tot_five+ Tot_ten+ Tot_twenty+ Tot_fifty

4. The calculation of annual income tax is based on the following formulae.
Net_pay = Gross_pay + Total_allowance – Total_expenses
Income_tax = Net_pay x Tax
Given that the Tax is 25.7 per cent, write:
a) declaration statement for all the variables of which the values are entered by users. [3m]
float Grosspay, Total_allowance, Total_expenses;
b) declaration statement for all the variables of which the values are obtained by calculation. [2m]
float Net_pay, Income_tax
