This document contains instructions and questions for an exam on computer programming. It includes 10 multiple choice questions testing theoretical knowledge of C++ concepts like data types, selection structures, and functions. There are also questions requiring students to write C++ code, such as calculating mathematical expressions, using loops and arrays, and creating a program to calculate seminar registration costs based on number of attendees. Students are instructed to answer all questions, show working where needed, and submit their responses online.

QUESTION 1 [10]
STATEMENT TRUE FALSE
Theory
1.1 The float and double data types in C++ store real numbers.
1.2 The condition in the selection structure specifies the decision you are
making and is phrased so that it results in either a true or false answer
only.
1.3 The repetition structure is used to repeatedly process one or more
program instructions until some condition is met, at which time the
structure ends.
1.4 A function header in a C++ program does not end with a semicolon.
1.5 You cannot include actual arguments when you call a void function.
1.6 A repetition structure can only include one instruction.
1.7 To use the predefined function sqrt(), the program must include
the header file cmath.
1.8 The output of the statement:
cout << pow(3.0, 2.0) + 5 << endl; is 14.
1.9 The following is an example of a valid function prototype:
void calc(double, double, double &, double &);
1.10 The built-in srand function is an example of a value-returning
function.

QUESTION 4 [16]
Create a program that displays a series of the first 10 Fibonacci numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34, and 55). Notice that, beginning with the third number in the series, each
Fibonacci number is the sum of the prior two numbers. In other words, 2 is the sum of 1
plus 1, 3 is the sum of 1 plus 2, 5 is the sum of 2 plus 3, and so on. Write two versions of
the code: one using the for statement and the other using the while statement. Enter
the C++ instructions into a source file named Question5.cpp. Add appropriate comments
and any additional instructions required to execute your program. Note: the Fibonacci
numbers should appear twice on the screen. Refer to figure 4.1 for sample output.

QUESTION 5 [6]
Write a C++ for loop that will produce the output in figure 5.1. Include appropriate
comments and any additional instructions required to execute your program.

Question 6 [23]
Create a program for the sales manager at Computer Haven, a small business that offers
motivational seminars to local companies. Table 6-1 shows the charge for attending a
seminar. Notice that the charge per person depends on the number of people the company
registers. For example, the cost for four registrants is R5 761.32; the cost for two registrants
is R4 321.0. The program should allow the sales manager to enter the number of registrants
for as many companies as needed. When the sales manager has finished entering the data,
the program should calculate and display the total number of people registered, the total
charge for those registrants, and the average charge per registrant. For example, if one
company registers four people and another company registers two people, the total number
of people registered is six, the total charge is R10 082.32, and the average charge per
registrant is R1680.38.
