Answer ANY five questions.
All questions carry equal marks.
Examiners: Mr. D. O’Donovan
Mr. D. Denieffe
Dr. P. O’Sullivan
1. Write a main procedure in BASIC to implement the functionality discussed in (a) to (c) and a
separate function to implement (d):
(a) Generate 100 random integer numbers between 56 and 83 inclusive and store the numbers in
a 2-D array consisting of 10 rows and 10 columns. [5 %]
(b) Calculate the average of each row of the array in (a) and store the results in an appropriate
array called ‘results’. [5 %]
(c) Write the contents of the array in (a) above to a file called “testdata.dat” in the root directory
of the D drive. [5 %]
(d) Write a function to calculate the average (called ‘ArrayAverage’) of the results array in (b).
The array and its size should be passed as arguments to the function. The average result
should be passed back to the calling routine such that the function ‘ArrayAverage’ may be
used in the following manner:
average = ArrayAverage(results) [5 %]
