Task 1

Jane uses an online selling platform to sell women’s bags and uses a spreadsheet to
keep track of her monthly sales.

Open the file SALES.xlsx. You will see the following data.

Save the file as SALES_<your name>_<index number>.xlsx

1 The Sales need to be calculated for the Quantity Sold.

In cells D3 to D8 enter a formula that uses an appropriate function to search

for the Selling price per unit in the Selling Price Per Category table. Use
it to calculate the Sales of each category. [2]

2 In cell D10 enter a formula to calculate the total sales. [1]

3 In cells E3 to E8 enter a conditional statement to identify whether the target

sales has been hit. The target sales for each category has been set to $500.
For category that hit the target sales put Yes in the Hit target? column,
otherwise put No in the Hit target? column. [1]

2
4 In cell D11 enter a formula to count the number of categories that exceed the
sales target. [1]

5 In cell B17 enter a formula to calculate her Projected yearly profit if her
monthly profit is 20% of her total monthly sales. You can assume that her
sales per month remains fairly constant. [2]

6 She took up a loan of $30000 to start her business. The bank charges her
3.88% per annum compounded monthly for a period of 3 years.

In cell B19 enter an appropriate function to calculate the amount she needs
to pay after 3 years. [2]

7 In cell B21 enter a conditional statement to determine if she is able to pay the
bank based on her projected yearly profit after 3 years by putting able or
unable. [1]

Task 2

The following program allows 10 integers to be input. The numbers which must be
within 1 to 100 inclusive are then printed as Low, Medium or High.

for count in range(10):

number = int(input('Enter a positive integer: '))

if number > 0 and number <= 30:

print(number, '- Low')
elif number > 30 and number <= 70:
print(number, '- Medium')
elif number > 70 and number <= 100:
print(number, '- High')

Open the file NUMCAT.py

Save the file as NUMCATV1_<your name>_<index number>.py

8 (a) Edit the program so that it will accept any number of input. The
program will end only when the user enters 0. You can assume that
only digits will be entered. [2]

(b) Edit the program to:

● test whether the user has entered a number in the correct range
● output a suitable error message that asks the user to enter the
number again, and repeat this until the user enters a valid
number. [2]

(c) Edit the program to print how many numbers were classified as “Low”,
“Medium” or “High”, after the user entered 0.

A sample output is shown below. [3]

Save your program.

4
9 Save your program as NUMCATV2_<your name>_<index number>.py

Valid numbers are now defined as numbers within 1 to upper_limit

inclusive, where upper_limit is a user input. You need not validate
upper_limit and can assume it will be a number more than 71.

As a result of this change, numbers that are greater than 70 but smaller than
or equal to upper_limit will be categorized as High.

Edit your program so that it works correctly with this new boundary. [3]

Save your program.

Task 3

The following program reads in 3 numbers, each a part of a date and the program
will print the date in the format dd Mmm yyyy.

For example, user enters 9, 4, 1991. The program will print 09 Apr 1991.

The program uses the rules:

● there are 30 days in the months of April, June, September and November
● if day entered is less than 10, the output will have a ‘0’ prepended
● there is a space between the day, month and year
● year should be between 1900 and 2200 inclusive

This program assumes non-leap year and all inputs are digits.

There are several syntax and logic errors in the program.

month_abbr = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun',
'Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec']

day = int(input("Enter the day: '))

# validate day #
while day < 1 or day > 30:
day = int(input("Invalid day. Re-enter the day: "))

month = int(input("Enter the month: "))

#validate month
while month < 1 and month > 12:
month = int(input("Invalid month. Re-enter the month: "))

year = int(input("Enter the year: "))

# validate year
while year > 1900 or year > 2200:
year = int(input("Invalid year. Re-enter the year: "))

if day > 28 and month = 2:

print('Invalid date!')
elif month in [4, 7, 9, 11] and day > 30:
print('Invalid date!')
else:
if day < 10:
day = 0 + day
answer = str(day)+' '+month_abbr[month]+' '+str(year)
print(answer)

Task 4

You have been asked to create a code-breaking game for two players.

The program must:

● allow player 1 to input a 4-character code denoted by the first letter of these
colours : Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange. The code will be
converted to upper case by the program after entry. The program must ask
for another code each time the player enters a code that is not 4-character
long or comprises of letters not from the first letter of the above 6 colours.
● allow player 2 to enter a 4-character capitalized code. Player 2 will have 4
guesses to correctly guess the code input by player 1. You do not need to
validate the input for player 2.
● Output “Code broken!” when player 2 inputs the same code as player 1 and
the game must end.
● Output “Incorrect” when player 2 does not input the same code as player 1.
● Output “Game over!” when player 2 has entered four incorrect codes.

11 Write your program and test that it works. [11]

Save your program as CODEBREAKER1_<your name>_<index number>.py

12 When your program is complete, test it for the following:

● Test 1 – Player 1 inputs RBP

● Test 2 – Player 1 inputs OIBR
● Test 3 – Player 1 inputs GYBG and
Player 2 inputs OBGY, RBGY, BBGY, RBBY
● Test 4 – Player 1 inputs GYBY and
Player 2 inputs GYYY, GYBY

Take a screenshot of: [4]

● Test 1, 2 and 3. Save this single screenshot as:

TEST123_<your name>_<index number>

● Test 4. Save this screenshot as:

TEST4_<your name>_<index number>

Save your files in either .png or .jpg format.

8
13 Save your program as CODEBREAKER2_<your name>_<index number>.py

Extend your program to:

● If the guess is wrong, output a 4-character string indicating “Y” if the

position and colour are correct or “N” otherwise. For instance, if player 1
inputs “ROBY” and player 2 inputs “RPYB”, “YNNN” should be output.
● If player 2 inputs a correct code, the program must output the number
of guesses made. [5]

Save your program.
