Man I just got a little break from my CIEs and I was really tensed about the upcoming CS examination, and this video popped up like a BLESSING!!!! May you live a long and healthy life and may you prosper always!!! This video was veerryyyy helpppfuuullll!!!!!
Question 1 b) Indexing should be 0:49 (This contains 50 names) or 1 to 50 (also contains 50 names) we either used zero-based indexing 0:50 would contain 51 names
You are a LEGEND, I knew nothing before as my teachers were bad but u helped so much, I took paper 1 and I think I will get at least 55 out of 75, tomorrow I'm sitting paper 2 and I really think I will smash it. I really appreciate your content.
i have paper2 in 7hrs and i havent done anything😭 literally regretting choosing computer science for gcse but ur vid helped a lot😞 just hoping i dont get below 50%…^^
I was also lost but let me make you understand too. In pseudocode all indexing begins with a 0. We know that it needs to output 50 names from the array 'Name[ ]'. Therfore, it must loop 50 times to output all of the names required but it also needs to loop once more so that it can meet the condition: 0 to 50. I think using a while loop would be easier to understand just like in the ms of the paper. What I did: x = 0 WHILE x < 50 DO OUTPUT Name[x] x
The new thing is that they are giving us candidates a unseen scenario question which is 15 marks at the end of the paper which you can use pseudocode or programming languages
The purpose of the specimen papers is to show how certain topics of the syllabus will be examined. It is a good resource for practicing questions but you will definitely see other types of questions when you write the exam.
Not too late at all! We want to change the value of Number every time the loop goes around (otherwise we'd run into an infinite loop). We write it after the ENDIF since we want the IF statement to check if the previous number is >= 100 first. Hope that helps!
@@igcsecs I am sorry but can you break it down further ,I am confused at the fact that there are input number in the code one outside loop one inside . Ps I am not good at coding
Update I understood my own question.due to my own stupidity I didn't know what meant so as far as I can tell if 200 enters the loop ,as this number is not 999 it will never leave the loop as only 999 can interrupt /stop the loop. Hence we added Input after endif so to change values untill 999 is entered to stop the loop Ps if the uploader reads this please explain what I did but better
The number must be input in every iteration of the while loop. The first number is input on line 1, which is checked by the while loop condition and the if statement. Then the next number is input after the if statement and we loop back to the beginning of the while.
