A-LevelComputer ScienceProgramming Paradigms and Program StructureMay/June 2023Paper 2 Q58 Marks
A programmer has produced the following pseudocode to output the square root of the numbers from 1 to 10. Line numbers are for reference only. 10 DECLARE Num : REAL 11 Num ← 1.0 ... 40 REPEAT 41 CALL DisplaySqrt(Num) 42 Num ← Num + 1.0 43 UNTIL Num > 10 ... 50 PROCEDURE DisplaySqrt(BYREF ThisNum : REAL) 51 OUTPUT ThisNum 52 ThisNum ← SQRT(ThisNum) // SQRT returns the square root 53 OUTPUT " has a square root of ", ThisNum 54 ENDPROCEDURE The pseudocode is correctly converted into program code. Function SQRT() is a library function and contains no errors. The program code compiles without errors, but the program gives unexpected results. These are caused by a design error.
