● You should show all your working on the question paper.
INFORMATION
● The total of this paper is 23.
1. Look at the following block code from Scratch and Python code.
greeting = input(“Insert greeting: “)
print(greeting)
The second code block from Scratch is which component of code?
variable | input | output | processing
………………………………………………………………………………………………[1]
Name the data type of this component.
………………………………………………………………………………………………[1]
Does this Python code and Scratch block code have the same result?

2. Neville is writing a program to find out if a person can vote. Read the program code
below and rewrite it with all errors fixed.
a. age = int(input("Input your age: ")
if age!= 18:
print(You can vote!)
else:
print("You cannot vote!")

3. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length by width.
Consider the flowchart below:
a. Complete the missing part of the flowchart so the algorithm calculates the
area of a rectangle. [2]
4. Consider the following algorithm presented as a flowchart.
a. State the values that are displayed when the input of num is:
i. 60
………………………………………………………………………………[1]
ii. 4
………………………………………………………………………………[1]
5. You are asked to create a flowchart to calculate and display the area of a rectangle
given its length and width using the algorithm below.
START ____________
INPUT length ____________
INPUT width ____________
Calculate the area = length * width ____________
OUTPUT area ____________
IF area < 100 Then ____________
OUTPUT “The area is not too big.” ____________
ELSE
OUTPUT “The area is too big.” ____________
ENDIF
STOP ____________
Choose the letter of the correct flowchart symbol to be used for the
given lines of code.
Flowchart Symbols:
A. B.
C. D.

6. Fill in the blanks:
if (x __________ y):
print(“x is greater than y”)
elif (x __________ y):
print(“y is greater than x”)
elif (x __________ y):
print(“x is equal to y”)
else (“x is not equal to y”) [3]
7. Draw a flowchart that shows the following algorithm:
- ask for an input integer called “number”
- calculate the double of “number” and assign it to a variable called “double”
- if “double” is greater than 100 output “Big!”
- else output “Small…”
