g. What is primary key? List any two advantages of it.

The key or field that is used to uniquely identify records from the database table is called primary key. It must be unique and cannot be kept empty(null value not accepted)

 

Its importance is:

 

It uniquely identifies records.

It prevents duplication of data.

It helps in faster searching of records.

h. What is data sorting? List any two advantages of using it.

 

Arranging data in a particular order of field that may be either ascending or descending is called data sorting. The process of placing elements from a collection in some kind of order is sorting. Its advantages are:

 

Similar data can be grouped together.

It helps in faster searching of data.

Form allows user to enter new data and edit or modify the existing data through user friendly interface.

 

Query allows user to retrieve or access and interpret the information based on the user requirements.

 

5. Write down the output of the given program. Show with dry run in table. [2]

 

DECLARE SUB SHOW (A)

CLS

N = 87

CALL SHOW (N)

END

SUB SHOW (A)

DO

B = A MOD 6 + 3

IF B MOD 4 = 0 THEN

GOTO AA

PRINT B;

AA:

A = A - 10

LOOP WHILE A >= 50

END SUB

 

 

 

 

 

Output is:

6 6

 

6. Re-write the given program after correcting the bugs: [2]

 

REM to add record in an existing file

CLS

OPEN “Record.Dat” FOR OUTPUT AS #1

AA:

INPUT “Enter Name, Class and Roll No. “; Nm$, Cl, Rn

INPUT #2, Nm$, Cl, Rn

INPUT “More records “; Y$

IF UCASE$(Y$) = “Y” THEN

GOTO aa

CLOSE “Record.dat”

END

Program after correcting bugs is:

 

CLS

OPEN “Record.Dat” FOR APPEND AS #1

AA:

INPUT “Enter Name, Class and Roll No. “; Nm$, Cl, Rn

WRITE #1, Nm$, Cl, Rn

INPUT “More records “; Y$

IF UCASE$(Y$) = “Y” THEN

GOTO aa

CLOSE #1

END

 

7. Study the following program and answer the given questions: [2]

OPEN “Detail.dat” FOR INPUT AS #1

OPEN “Temp.dat” FOR OUTPUT AS #2

INPUT “Enter name of the students “; Sn$

FOR I = 1 TO 10

INPUT #1, Nm$, Cl, A

IF Sn$ < > Nm$ THEN

WRITE #2, Nm$, Cl, A

END IF

NEXT I

CLOSE #1, #2

KILL “Detail.dat”

NAME “Temp.dat” AS “Detail.dat”

END

 

What is the main objective of the program given above?

The main objective of given program is to delete the record associated with the name entered by the user.

 

Do you get any problem in the above program if “Kill” statement is removed? Give reason.

Since, KILL statement will delete datafile named “detail.dat”, if we removed KILL the new data file “temp.dat” will be not renamed as “detail.dat”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Group 'C' [4x4=16]

 

8. Convert / calculate as per the instruction: [4]

 

(11001101)2 = (?)16

(524)10 = (?)2

(1010)2 x (110)2 – (1011)2 = (?)2

(10110)2 ÷ (101)2

9. a. Write a program in QBASIC that asks length, breadth and height of room and calculates its area and volume. Create a user-defined function to calculate area and sub-program to calculate volume. Hint: [A = LxB], [V = LxBxH] [4]

 

DECLARE FUNCTION area(l, b)

DECLARE SUB volume(l, b, h)

CLS

INPUT “Enter length breadth and height”, l, b, h

x=area(l, b)

PRINT “Area is”; x

CALL volume(l, b, h)

END

FUNCTION area(l, b)

a=l*b

area=a

END FUNCTION

SUB volume(l, b, h)

v=l*b*h

PRINT “Volume is”; v

END SUB

b. A sequential data file called “Record.txt” has stored data under the field heading Roll No., Name, Gender, English, Nepali, Maths and Computer. Write a program to display all the information of those students whose gender is ‘F' and obtained marks in computer is more than 90. [4]

 

OPEN “Record.txt” FOR INPUT AS #1

CLS

PRINT “Roll No”, “Name”, “Gender”, “English”, “Nepali”, “Maths”, “Computer”

WHILE NOT EOF(1)

                INPUT #1, r, n$, g$, e, n, m, c

                g$ = UCASE$(g$)

                IF g$ = “F” AND c>90 THEN

                                PRINT r, n$, g$, e, n, m, c

                END IF

WEND

CLOSE #1

END

 

 

 

10.  Write a program in C language that asks a number and check whether it is odd or even. [4]

 

#include

int main( )

{

                int n, a;

                printf(“Enter any number”);

                scanf(“%d”, &n);

                a = n%2;

                if (a == 0)

                {

                                printf(“%d is even”, n);

                }

                else

                {

                                printf(“%d is odd”, n);

                }

                return 0;

}

 

OR

 

Write a program in ‘C' language to display the series with their sum. 1,2,3,4,….., up to 10th terms.

 

#include

int main( )

{

                int i, s=0;

                for(i=1; i<=10; i++)

                {

                                printf(“%d”, i);

                                s = s+i;

                }

                printf(“Sum is %d”, s);

                return 0;

}
