SECTION B (10 marks each)
Answer any four questious in as detail as possible on the provided answer booklet. Be sure to justify all your €l,nswers.

1. [C++ Application] Write a C++ application that inputs one number consisting of four digits from the user. You will need
to separate the number into its individual digits and prints the digits separated from one another by two (2 ) spaces each.
For example, if the user types in the number 4655. The output should display 4 6 5 5. [10 marks]
2. Write a C*+ function that counts the number of times the item x appears among the first n elements of -the array and
returns that count as the frequency of x irr the array. [10 marks]
3. IFunctions]
(a) Write a C++ function to deterrnine min function that returns the srnallest of four given integers: [5 marks]
(b) Write a function Area. The two parameters represent the length and width of a rectangle. Have the function return
an area of a rectangle. [5 marks]
4. fArray] Write a function that will convert an array of ints of size l0 into an array with allelements havirrg the largest
element in the array. Each element of the final array must have the value of the largest element in the original array.
[10 marks]
5. fstructures] Assume the following structure definition [10 marks]

struct Fu].lNane
{
string lastilane;
String niddlel{ane ;
striDg firstNane;
);
Write statements that
(a) define a FullName structure variable narred info [3 marks]
(b) assign your la-st, middle and first name to the members of the info variable. [3 marks]
(c) display the contents of the members of the info variable [4 marks]
6. fl,oops ] t1o marksl
(a) What is the final value of x in this code fragment? Justify your answer [5 rnarks]

int x = 0;
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1O; i++)
{
if(iz 4==0)
x += 50;
else i,f (1 7 3 == 1)
x += 30;
)
x += i;

(b) What is the final value of x in this code fragment? You must show your work to earn some points [5 marks]

intx=0;
int Y = 5'
vhile (y <= 50)
{
' Y +- x;
