balance = 350; price = 160; while (balance > 60) disp(price); balance = balance price; price = price/2; end

a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 e) 5

What values are contained in the day array after executing the following code?
d = 30; for i =1:3 d = d + 1; day(i) = d; end for i=4:7 d = d + 2; day(i) = d; end

a) 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40 b) 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41 c) 31, 32, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43 d) 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39 e) 30, 31, 32, 35, 37, 39, 41

Question 4.

a = 5; b = 1; while ( b < 4) disp(a) a = a + b; b = b + 1; end

a) 5, 6 b) 5, 6, 7 c) 5, 6, 8 d) 5, 6, 7, 8 e) 5, 6, 8, 11

Question 5.
Peter travels 15km to the university on week days and does not travel in on the weekends. On sunny week days Peter cycles the entire way. On rainy week days Peter drives part way and then completes the final 3km journey on his unicycle. Which of the following pieces of code does NOT correctly determine how far Peter will cycle on a given day:
a) if (isRaining & isWeekday) distanceCycled = 3 elseif (isWeekday) distanceCycled = 15 else distanceCycled = 0 end b) if (isWeekday) if (isRaining) distanceCycled = 3 else distanceCycled = 15 end else distanceCycled = 0 end c) if (isRaining) if (isWeekday) distanceCycled = 3 else distanceCycled = 0 end else distanceCycled = 15 end d) if (isWeekday & isRaining) distanceCycled = 3 elseif (~isWeekday) distanceCycled = 0 else distanceCycled = 15 end

e) None of the above are incorrect, they ALL correctly determine the distance cycled.

Question 6.
What is displayed as a result of running the following code?
for i=1:2:5 a(i)=i^2; end disp(a)

a) 25 b) 1 4 c) 1 9 d) 1 4 e) 1 0

25 25 9 16 25 9 0 25

Question 7.
Which one of the following set of commands produce a final sequence of values that is different from the rest?
a) x=linspace(0,16,5) b) x=[13 6 7 11 16 19 12] y=[1 2 3 5 8 13 -12] x=x+y x=x*0.5 x=x([7,2,(4:6)]) c) x=0:4:16 d) x=[0 4 4 12] x=[x,16] x(3)=8

e) None of them, they all produce the same array.

function b = swap(a,b) a = b; b = a; return

What is displayed when the following script file is run?

a = 3; b = 2; a = swap(b,a); disp([a b]) a) 2 2 b) 2 3 c) 3 2 d) 3 3 e) An error message
