There was free orange juice and ham & salad rolls at First in Course ceremony... lol? That's about as generous as the government will get.

1 + cot^{2}x = cosec^{2}x

The square root of nine is +3 The square root of minus nine is +3i Perhaps do you mean this? x^{2} = 9\\ x=\pm 3

x=9???

I do remember coming across this during SDD last year. The first 5 steps is the software development cycle in general. The other 5 steps is the structured approach.

For Question 15, just something else to think about. If you must put in brackets all variables coming into the module then... Would M1 (the main program) require 'b' to be in brackets? Assuming M1 is the mainprogram and the module run first when executed, where would it get the value for b from?

If you assume that when the variables are altered by the while loops in the subprogram, they do not affect the variables back in mainprogram (which they shouldn't unless they are reference parameters); then that is correct. If you put the print statement in the main program (between lines 140 -...

I gather there will also be some controversy over Q23. b) iii. Does the subprogram use reference parameters? If it does not then you would have to insert the code to display the swimmer's time inside the subprogram after the loops (which is probably not very good abstraction/programming...

Yeah 8 would have been D in my opinion. It wasn't C however, as DLLs are included after compilation in a process called linking. 15 would have been A. If you were to imagine M1 calling M2 the line would have been: M2 (a,b) as a and b were the names of the parameter and control parameter/flag...

1st with 91% independant trial. I think the most important thing is practice exams, as pretty much every question in the exam is skills based (excluding multiple choice) - so applying the content will be the key to a good mark.

Live test data is a range of inputs used to simulate inputs that might occur in an operational setting. They are entered directly into the program. Paths such as mix of transaction types, volume data, large file size, response time and interface between modules. Also outputs should be compared...

A linear search examines each item in a list/array individually in sequential order to determine whether the search term exists. A binary search takes the the middle index of indexes remaining and compares its value to that of the search value. Depending on whether the search value is greater...

Hitler seemed to think so...

There you go... :)
