that was a lot harder than i was anticipating lol

i'm still confident i got an A, it's just that some of the questions were a bit vague
what did you guys put for the dog grooming question where you're asked why the total is still the same even after a new number is introduced to the array?

i wrote that they hadn't extended their loop (i had to assume they used a fixed loop, that was the only explanation, although i can not fathom why anyone would use a fixed loop in that situation) and they just had not extended their loop to compensate for the extra variable.

that's what I thought when I seen it too but there was indication that they did use a loop!!!

that question really confused me no matter how many times I read the code I couldn't see any error at all.

I said that the program was not designed to handle more than 5 inputs and then for the next part I said that she should declare the extra input at the beginning. Basically I have no idea hahahha

Bombed that question. Got no clue.

I got 61.52KB

It was 5*7*600*600 = 12600000pixels
12600000*24 = 302400000 bits
302400000/8 = 37800000 bytes
37800000/1024 = 36914.0625 KB
36914.0625/1024 = 36.05 MB (rounded to 2 d.p)

I'm 100% sure that's the answers

It is. I rounded it to the nearest whole (36MB).

Yeah

did people get for the translator question in section A, it was compiler first then interpreter, and get peer-to-peer network for the other question where it said which networks doesn't have centralised storage?

For the flowchart question asking what the expected result would be, for the bottom row in the table was anyone else confused because it was clear that the booking would not be accepted however it didn't say anywhere that they would receive a message telling them that the booking was declined like it did if it was accepted. What did you all put?

I was gonna write compiler twice, But thank god I never did :biggrin:

For the translator question I put interpreter and then compiler :/ I got peer-to-peer for the other question

I put interpreter twice, it was the only one I could think of :colondollar:

I knew one would be right!

sorry if I'm asking so many question but I just really need this A...:P

Did anyone get like string for an answer in section A and flat file as like the data operation?
In section B did people get pre-defined functions as ananswer and mantissa and exponent?

Yes got string at some point.
I can't remmeber what was the pre defined function, But for one of the questions I did write mantissa and exponent.

I never got pre defined function for an answer but I do remember a question asking you to identify one of the pre defined functions used and why it was used if that's what your meaning? For that question I put a the randnum function and I put that you used it because it was pre tested and free of errors?

I got mantissa and exponent.
