EE171: Principles of Computer Programming

TUTORIAL TWO 2025/2026

Control Structures

PROBLEM 1: Student Pass/Fail Decision (if statement)


Problem Scenario

A university system must determine whether a student passes or fails based on the marks
obtained.

Task

 Input marks (0–100)


 If marks ≥ 50 → PASS
 Else → FAIL

PROBLEM 2: Grading System (Nested if–else)


Problem Scenario

Grades are assigned based on marks:

 ≥ 75 → A
 ≥ 65 → B
 ≥ 50 → C
 < 50 → F

Task

Design a grading program using nested if–else.


PROBLEM 3: Menu-Based Calculator (switch statement)
Problem Scenario

Create a simple calculator for basic operations.

Task

 Ask user to choose an operation


 Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division

PROBLEM 4: Multiplication Table (for loop)


Problem Scenario

A student wants to print the multiplication table of any number.

Task

Use a for loop to display a table up to 10.

PROBLEM 5: Sum of Natural Numbers (while loop)


Problem Scenario

Calculate the sum of numbers from 1 to N.

Task

Use a while loop.

PROBLEM 6: Password Validation (do–while loop)


Problem Scenario

The system keeps asking for a password until the correct one is entered.

Task

Use do–while loop.


PROBLEM 7: Skip Even Numbers (continue statement)
Problem Scenario

Display only odd numbers from 1 to 10.

Task

Use continues to skip even numbers.

PROBLEM 8: Stop at Negative Input (break statement)


Problem Scenario

A system reads numbers until a negative number is entered.

Task

Use break to terminate the loop.
