Describe Simple Problem with an example. (4 Marks)
A simple problem is one with a certain source and a certain outcome that is simple to locate and
resolve.
Example:
You placing food in an oven, but you don’t remember to set the timer. When left unattended for too
long, it burns. Burnt food is the result, and you may need to eat something else for supper.
a) Discuss the concept of Nesting with an example. (2 Marks)
Nesting: Nesting is the placement of one object within another object.
Example
Nested condition, nested iteration etc.
Distinguish between Nested condition and Nested loop. (4 Marks)
Nested Condition:
The condition may be placed within other conditions to solve a problem.
Nested Loop:
A loop within another loop is called nested loop.
Example 1:
if (condition)
{
if (condition)
{ statement(s) }
}
Example 2:
repeat (condition)
{
repeat (condition)
{ statement(s) }
}
Define variables and elaborate types of variables. (4 Marks)
Variable Used to change the values recorded in scratch.
Types of variable:
Local Variable:
The variable used by just one sprite.
Global Variable:
The variable used by all sprites.
a) Define Cloning and elaborate on how it is useful in a computer program. (5 Marks)
Cloning is a process of making a duplicate or copy of sprite or an object.
Usefulness of cloning:
Cloning is useful in program as it allow you to create multiple instances of sprite without recreating it
from scratch.
What is meant by stop cloning and how can you stop the cloning process in a program? (5 Marks)
Definition of stop cloning:
Stopping cloning means halting the process of making multiple copies of a sprite.
How to stop cloning:
You can stop the cloning process in a program by using “stop cloning” command.
Define function and write steps to create a function. (5 Marks)
Definition of Function:
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. It can be called multiple times throughout
the program.
Steps to create a function:
1. To create a function in scratch you can use the “define” block.
2. You can then add blocks of code to the function that will be executed when it is called
a) Define Factoring Problem. Can we solve factoring problem computationally? (2 Marks)
Factoring Problem:
The factoring problem means identify the prime factor of an order integer. It is an example of
computational challenge.
Computational Problem:
We cannot solve factoring problem computationally. Because the factoring effort increases
exponentially as the size of input integer increases.
Write a note on the Halting Problem. (4 Marks)
Halting Problem:
The halting problem is a decision problem. Halting means terminating or stopping program after
certain execution. There is no generic algorithm that can accurately predict whether a certain
program will ever stop or not. Additionally, there is no generic algorithm that can tell us whether a
certain program will complete its execution and stop. The best approach is to run the application and
check to see if it stops or halts.
Write down any four rules of writing a pseudocode. (4 Marks)
Pseudocode Rules:
1. Put the task in the proper order and then start writing.
2. Start with a statement that states the primary objective.
3. Use the proper sentence case for each type of word.
4. Apply the proper naming conventions. The name must be clear and concise.
5. It should be easy enough for layman to understand.
6. Write everything that will occur in the real code without abstraction.
a ) Define nested condition. (2 Marks)
Nested Condition:
Conditions may be placed within the conditions to solve problem. These conditions will have many if
conditions block that are check line by line until condition is true. If it is not, then it executes the 'else'
block at the end.
Write an algorithm to print even numbers from 2 to 50. (4 Marks)
Algorithm to print even numbers from 2 to 50:
Step1: Start
Step2: Declare the value 2 to Num
Step3: Print the value Num
Step4: Add 2 to Num
Step5: if the value of Num <= 50, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Step6 Stop
Write a pseudocode to print the sum of two integers. (4 Marks)
Sum of Two Numbers ()
Begin
Set sum = 0;
Read: num1, num2;
Set sum = num1 + num2
Print sum;
End
a ) Define conditional statements with one example. (5 Marks)
Definition of conditional statements:
Statements with a condition and a result are said to be conditional. Depending on whether a
condition is true or false, a conditional statement instructs a program to act.
Example:
You want to cross the street. If there are no incoming cars, you cross the street. If there are incoming
cars, you wait and check again.
What is the relation between Programming and Scratch? (5 Marks)
Programming:
Computer always understand commands written in machine language i.e. 0 and 1. But machine
language is very difficult to understand and works with high level languages were introduced to
overcome the difficulties in machine language. Most high level languages use text commands. We
must memories these commands to write programs in high level languages.
Scratch:
Scratch will generate text code automatically. This text code will be converted into machine language
by the compiler; a software that is used to convert high level language to low level language.
Briefly explain the difference between Variables and Statements. (5 Marks)
Variables:
A variable is a place for some values in memory, much like x and y are popular variables in algebra.
In scratch, variables are represented with blocks shaped like elongated circles, uniquely labeled by
you.
Variables can be local or global.
A variable that takes only the value of true or false
Statements:
In programming, a statement is simply a directive that allows the
a) Write an algorithm to find either a number is even or not: (2 Marks)
Algorithm to find either a number is even or not:
1. Start
2. Take a number to N.
3. Divide the number by 2 and store the remainder in R.
4. If R = 0 then go to step 6.
5. Print "N is not Even" go to step 7.
6. Print "N is Even".
7. Stop
Write an algorithm of baking cake. (4 Marks)
Algorithm of baking cake:
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Step 2: Gather all the ingredients.
Step 3: Measure the ingredients.
Step 4: Mix them.
Step 5: Grease the pan.
Step 6: Pour the mixed ingredients into the pan.
Step 7: Put the pan in the oven.

a) How many values a variable can hold at a time? Write two examples. (2 Marks)
A variable can hold only one value at a time.
Examples
Name, Roll_No, Class and Gender etc.
Differentiate between if and if-then-else conditions with an examples. (3 Marks)
If Condition:
A statement or block of statements that are only executed if a specific condition is true.
If-then-else Condition:
A statement or block of statements that are only executed if a specific condition is true otherwise it
goes to the else statement or block of statements to execute.
Examples:
1. If it is cold outside; we would take tea, or any other related example.
2. If it is cold outside; we would take tea, otherwise we enjoy ice cream.
Or any other related example.
Write an algorithm that prints even numbers from 2 to 100. (5 Marks)
