This document contains instructions for an end of semester exam in Programming Fundamentals. It includes 4 questions asking students to write C++ code. Question 1 asks students to write code that counts the occurrences of an element entered by the user in a list of integers. Question 2 asks students to write a simple dice game where the user wins or loses based on rolling sums of 2 dice. Question 3 asks students to write a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game using functions. Question 4 asks students to write a program that computes the mean, standard deviation, and z-scores of input data. The exam is worth a total of 50 marks and has a duration of 180 minutes.

Q no. 01: (12.5)
Write C++ code that compares the value of ‘X’ element entered by the user in order to count the occurrence of
‘X’ element in the list of integer numbers. Your code should output the element X, number of times element X
has appeared, it should also display message if that ‘X’ element doesn’t exist in the array. All the abnormal
conditions must be handled by the code. (make separate functions)
Q no. 2: (12.5)
Write simple C++ code for letting the user play the following game:
The game will be played with two dice. Each time the pair of dice is tossed, the sum of two number that
comes up is used. That sum will be an integer in the range 2 to 12 since the faces of each die are number 1 to 6.
The player wins immediately if he tosses a 7 or 11, and user loses immediately if he tosses a 2,3 or 12. If user
tosses a 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 then that number becomes his ‘point’. The user then repeats tossing the dice until he
wins by making his point or he losses by tossing a 7.
Q no. 3: (12.5)
Write and run a program that plays the game of “Rock, paper, scissors.” Your game must possess the following
:-In this game, two players simultaneously say (or display a hand symbol representing) either “rock,” “paper,”
or “scissors.” The winner is the one whose choice dominates the other. The rules are: paper dominates (wraps)
rock, rock dominates (breaks) scissors, and scissors dominate (cut) paper. (Hint: Use functions).
Q no. 4: (12.5)
Write and run a program like that computes and prints both the mean and the standard deviation of the input
data. The standard deviation of the n numbers ao, . . ., an-1, is defined by the formula
where is the mean of the data.
Extend the program that it also computes and prints the Z-scores of the input data. The Z-scores of the n
numbers ao, . . ., anml are defined by the formula zi = (ai - )/ . They normalize the given data so ,that
it is centered about 0 and has standard deviation 1
