Task 1
 Declare the different arrays to be needed
 Initialise all arrays
 Allow user to enter the names and age of 20 runners
o Do not allow ages below 4 or above 14
o Generate a unique runner ID for each runner
o The fourth digit of the runner id is a check digit
Task 2
 Take the runner ID as input
 Allow user to enter start time and finish time
 Calculate the difference between start time and finish time in seconds
 Convert the time into minutes up to 2 decimal places
Task 3
 Look for the runner ID in the runnerID array. Store the position in the array as runnerIDPosition
o If the runnerID input has not been found in the array, then display a message
 Check the personal best time for this runner
 If the newly run time is better than the recorded personal best, then update the personal best time
o If the personal best time is 0, then no comparison is required. Simply store the newly run time as
personal best time
 Update the number of runs
 If runner has run more than 11 times but less than 22, then assign this runner a wrist band of “Half”
o If number of runs is 22 or more, then the wrist band assigned is 22.
 Look for the fastest runner in each age range
o Pass through the runner age array and consider each runner in the age range 4 to 6. Then find
what is the fast time and what is the position (index) of this fastest runner
o Repeat the same process for age ranges 7 to 10 and also for 11 to 14.
 Output all required data
o Output the names of all runners and their wrist band
o Display the names and times of the fastest runners for the three age categories (4 to 6, 7 to 10 and
11 to 14)

Task 1
Create arrays to store the different data items:
 Runner ID (String as there may be an ID like 0257)
 RunnerName (String)
 RunnerAge (Integer)
 PB (Real) to store the personal best times of each runner
 NumberOfRuns (integer)
 WristBand(Char)
All arrays contain 20 elements as the question requires us to store data for 20 children.
The following pseudocode shows how to declare the above arrays, initialize them and also record their personal
best times. The number of runs is also updated each time a child completes a run event.
DECLARE RunnerID:ARRAY[1..20]:STRING
DECLARE RunnerName:ARRAY[1..20]:STRING
DECLARE RunnerAge:ARRAY[1..20]:INTEGER
DECLARE PB:ARRAY[1..20]:REAL

Potential Exam Questions

Based on Past CIE Exam Papers
13
©M. Muttur
1 Write pseudocode for declaring the array to store the runner name and age.
DECLARE RunnerName:ARRAY[1..20]:STRING
DECLARE RunnerAge:ARRAY[1..20]:INTEGER
2 List three variables in your solution and what they are used for.
Age
To record runner age of runner
i
use to control the loop
runDurationMinutes
used to calculate the run duration from seconds to minutes
3 Give three examples of test data for the runner age.

Normal data: 10
Abnormal data: four, #
4 Show any validation check you have used in your solution

REPEAT
INPUT Age
RunnerAge [i] Age
IF Age < 4 OR Age > 14 then
OUTPUT “Please enter a value between 4 and 14”
END IF
UNTIL Age>=4 AND Age<=14
5 Describe the data structure used in Task 1 to store the runner ID.
An array is used (RunnerID). The data type of the array elements are String.
6 Explain how your program produces a unique runner ID for each runner.
Three digits are generated randomly (digits a, b and c).
These digits are then used to calculate a check digit d (using modulus 11).
The 4 digit runner ID generated is then searched in the RunnerID array. If this runner ID is found in the
array, this means that this number has already been generated and is therefore not unique. The process
is repeated again.
7 Explain how your program for Task 3 updates the children’s data and identify the fastest
child for each age range.
Any programming statements used in your answer must be fully explained.
FOR i  1 to 20 14
©M. Muttur
IF RunnerAge[i] >= 4 AND RunnerAge[i] <=6 THEN
END IF
END IF

END IF
END IF
NEXT i
8 Comment on the efficiency of your design for Task 3.

Task 3 uses results from tasks 1 and 2
Values entered and generated in Tasks 1 and 2 have already been validated
Algorithm first check if runner ID provided is found in the array before proceeding with any further
processing.
