Part B - Senior High
Instructions
- Read them carefully!
Team Members: and Team Code:
Time Allotted: 60 Minutes
You are to answer any one of the two questions given. If you attempt both, the highest
scores will be recorded.
The first fifteen minutes is planning time. Use it wisely. The problems are designed to
be difficult to complete within 60 minutes. Computers must be switched off during this
time.
Each program must display the team name, number and the title of the problem.
If you vary from the specifications in any way, the changes and additional instructions
must be printed very clearly at the start of the program. If you make a change and we
can’t get some part of the program working, you will lose marks. Minor deviations
will be tolerated without penalty (e.g. using spaces to separate input instead of commas)
but the basic question must not be changed. It is always best to stick with what is asked.
You must provide judges with clear, foolproof instructions for running the solution. Use
the back of this sheet. Include instructions for turning the computer on, loading the
solution, running it and shutting the computer down.
You must also provide instructions on how to view the source listing of your solution
should it be necessary.
Input checking is required. If a problem specifies that only certain values will be
given, you must check that the values are within those acceptable limits. Usually this can
be handled without (or at most minor) modification of the input routines you brought to
the contest.
You must always provide the option to run the program again with different values. This
is a convenience to the judges who will be running multiple tests through your program.
A small number of marks are allocated for extra effort or creativity shown in your
solution. If you think something is worthy of these marks, be sure you write it with the
instructions or print it at the start of the program. Remember to get your program working
before going after these.
Each problem is worth 200 points.
The problems are marked incrementally. That is, we will start with the
easy tasks and then increase successively in difficulty.
Hand in two disks containing the compiled programs and source
with this sheet. Mark the programs you wish the judges to run.
Inventory Control ___ q Yes q Nearly q No
Disk Driver ___ q Yes q Nearly q No
Use reverse for instructions to judges. Keep it clear, brief and neat.
Good Luck!
