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.

I got input validation for algorithm and see for second last question in section b it was like syntax error, does anyone remember what they put for last question ?

For the questions about grooming the dog, what type of error did you put ?
What does register is a processor do ? I wrote keeps data temporarily, is that right?

What is a firewall ?

Yeah, I put the RND function too, but I don't think my explanation was any good! I'm normally okay with this subject but I opened the paper today and died a little inside. :frown:

What is a firewall ?

for the firewall I said it blocks certain IP addresses which the user doesn't want to be accessed on their computer. Do you think that's any good?

I think Concatenation is when you use the '&' operator to connect things, but I'm not sure. I was more worried about the navigation question, which was actually in a different language! :biggrin:

Will the pass mark stay at 50%? Or will it change depending on the exam results?

I don't even know, I wrote something about inconsistent design and the lack of readable English, I'm just glad it was only worth 2 marks. :s-smilie:

hahah that's exactly what I thought I said that the navigation bar couldn't be understood and so they should have been given a name which gave the user an indication as to what the page was about. Then for the second one I said that there was no need for the backward and forward buttons when all of the page number buttons were present. That was another very confusing question I thought.
