The starting amount is R1.  If he decides on the first 25 customers then the first customer in the queue will receive R1, the next 2 customers in the queue will receive R2 each, the next 3 customers in the queue will receive R3 each and so on until the 25 th customer in the queue. An incomplete Delphi program called Q1 has been provided. Open the project. When the program is executed the following screen appears: Complete the program as follows: 1.1 Read the number of people that will receive cash awards from the given text box. Convert this value to an integer. (2) 1.2 Write code for the Process button so that when it is clicked: 1.2.1 The amount of money that the last person will receive and the total amount of money that will be required to pay the winners is calculated (10) 1.2.2 All the amounts that will be handed out, the award that the last person will receive and the total amount of cash that will be required is displayed (3) SAMPLE OUTPUT: [15] Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Studies/HG/P1 4 DBE/2014 SCE QUESTION 2: DELPHI Customers that make purchases for R1 500 or more stand a chance to win a cash voucher. Twenty random amounts in the range 0–30 will be assigned to the numbers 1 to 20. The customer will be asked to pick 5 numbers in the range 1–20 and the amounts represented by the numbers are then added together. The customer will be given a voucher to that value. To avoid amounts being predicted, the owner requires a program that will randomise the amounts represented by each number for each new customer. The following rules also apply:  A customer is allowed to choose a number more than once (that is, repeats are allowed).  If the customer chooses a number above 20 or below 1, R5 will be is deducted.  If the value of the voucher amount becomes negative, it is set to 0.  To further advantage the customer, if the voucher amount is a two-digit number and the units digit is larger than the tens digit, the digits are reversed. An incomplete Delphi program called Q2 has been supplied. Open the project. It generates a GUI as shown below: 2.1 Complete the code for the Randomize button that will generate 20 random amounts in the range 0–30 and store them in an array called box. (6) 2.2 Write the code for the Show Max/Min button that will determine and display the highest and lowest amounts assigned to the numbers and the maximum possible voucher amount that the customer can win from the amounts stored. (7) 2.3 Write a function called CheckRange that will receive an integer value as a parameter. The function returns true if the value is in the range 1–20 or false if otherwise. (4) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Studies/HG/P1 5 DBE/2014 SCE 2.4 In this game the customer must choose 5 numbers in the range 1–20. The 5 choices are entered in the indicated text fields (Choice1, Choice2, ...). Write code for the button labelled Customers Choice. Each choice is a number in the range 1–20. Store these 5 choices in an array called Cust. Data input is done with the keyboard. (3) 2.5 Write a function called ReverseDigits that receives a two-digit amount as a parameter. The two-digit amount is reversed only if the units digit is higher than the tens digit and the new amount formed is then returned. If the digits are not reversed, then the original amount is returned. (9) 2.6 Write a function called CalculateVoucher that will determine the voucher amount based on the following criteria:  Use the function called CheckRange to determine if a number is in the correct range and deduct R5 if it is not.  As soon as the voucher value becomes negative reset the amount to 0.  Use the function ReverseDigits to reverse the digits of the voucher, if applicable. (11) 2.7 Complete the code for the button Voucher Value to display the following:  The 5 numbers chosen by the customer  The amounts represented by each number  The total amount of the voucher (10) SAMPLE OUTPUT 1: Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 6 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Studies/HG/P1 6 DBE/2014 SCE SAMPLE OUTPUT 2: [50] QUESTION 3: DELPHI The owner wants to encourage customers to pay by card rather than use cash. He decides to assign ticket numbers to customers that paid by card. Two ticket numbers are drawn at random and those customers will each receive tickets and an all-expenses paid trip to Brazil to watch the 2014 Soccer World Cup. When customers pay by card, their details are captured and written to a text file. A sample text file called CARDSALE.DAT has been provided containing details of customers as follows: Customer first name, customer surname, customer account number and amount of the purchase. The first three entries in the text file CARDSALE.DAT is as follows: Lihle Madond 4933130001408352 456.20 Samantha Naidoo 6000123967890561 83.40 Johannes Viljoen 5438900124563882 257.90 ... Only customers who have purchased for a minimum amount of R100 qualify for the draw and will be assigned ticket numbers. (The second customer in the sample text file above purchased for an amount below R100, and therefore no ticket number must be generated.) A ticket number is generated for each purchase according to the following algorithm:  The ticket number starts with the first letter of the customer's first name followed by the first 3 letters of his/her surname in capital letters. Assume the customers only have one first name and one surname.  The last four digits of the account number are then attached. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 7 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Studies/HG/P1 7 DBE/2014 SCE  To keep track of the number of tickets, a three-digit number starting with 001, 002 et cetera, is attached at the end. Example of the first two valid ticket numbers: LMAD8352001 JVIL3882002 ... An incomplete Delphi program called Q3 has been supplied. Open the program. When the program executes, the following form is created: Complete the Delphi code as indicated below: 3.1 Declare the following: 3.1.1 A record structure called Customer to store the following fields: firstname, surname, cardnum, amount (3) 3.1.2 An array called arrCust to hold 20 records (1) 3.2 Write the code for the procedure called getCustDetails that will read the given text file (CARDSALE.DAT) and transfer the details of each qualifying customer into the array of records. The file must be assigned and the array of records must be created when the button Customer Details is clicked. (11) 3.3 Write the code for the Generate Tickets button that will use the details in the array of records to generate ticket numbers according to the criteria listed above. Each ticket number must be stored in an array called ValidTickets. (12) 3.4 Complete the code for the function called Sum that finds the sum of all payments made by card.
