Because of the nature of this examination, it is important to note that you will not be permitted to leave the examination room before the end of the examination session. 3. This question paper is set with programming terms that are specific to the Delphi programming language. The Delphi programming language must be used to answer the questions. 4. Make sure that you answer the questions according to the specifications that are given in each question. Marks will be awarded according to the set requirements. 5. Answer only what is asked in each question. For example, if the question does not ask for data validation, then no marks will be awarded for data validation. 6. Your programs must be coded in such a way that they will work with any data and not just the sample data supplied or any data extracts that appear in the question paper. 7. Routines, such as search, sort and selection, must be developed from first principles. You may NOT use the built-in features of the Delphi programming language for any of these routines, for example Locate, Filter, Sort, RecordCount, CharInSet or any built-in number-base conversion function. 8. All data structures must be defined by you, the programmer, unless the data structures are supplied. 9. You must save your work regularly on the disk space allocated to you for this examination session. 10.

Do the following: • Open the incomplete program in the Question 4 folder. • Enter your examination number as a comment in the first line of the Question4_U.pas file. • Compile and execute the program. The program has no functionality currently. Example of the graphical user interface (GUI): Question 4 - Problem solving – □ × 4.1 Decimal number: 4.1 - Binary 4.2 From: 1 To: 100 4.2 - Twin primes 4.3 4.3 - Dice simulation Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 24 Information Technology/P1 24 Hlayiso/Mock 2026 NSC Mock 4.1 Button [4.1 - Binary] The user enters a decimal (base 10) number in the edit box edtQ4_1. Code has been provided to clear the memo memQ4 and to store the input in the variable sInput. Write code to do the following: • Validate the input. The input is valid if it is NOT empty, ALL the characters are digits and the number is NOT greater than 255. If the input is not valid, display a suitable message and exit the procedure. • Convert the number to a binary (base 2) number by repeatedly dividing the number by 2 and using the remainders, as shown in the example below. You may NOT use a built-in conversion function. • Add leading zeros so that the binary number always consists of 8 bits. • Count the number of 1 bits in the binary number and determine the EVEN parity bit: the parity bit is 1 if the number of 1 bits is odd, otherwise it is 0. • Display the decimal number, the binary number, the number of 1 bits and the parity bit in the memo memQ4, as shown in the examples below. Example of the conversion of 75 to binary: Number 75 37 18 9 4 2 1 Number DIV 2 37 18 9 4 2 1 0 Number MOD 2 (remainder) 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 Reading the remainders from right to left gives 1001011, which becomes 01001011 with leading zeros. Example of output if 75 was entered: Decimal number: 75 Binary number: 01001011 Number of 1 bits: 4 Even parity bit: 0 Example of output if 200 was entered: Decimal number: 200 Binary number: 11001000 Number of 1 bits: 3 Even parity bit: 1 (11) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 25 Information Technology/P1 25 Hlayiso/Mock 2026 NSC Mock 4.2 Button [4.2 - Twin primes] A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that is divisible only by 1 and by itself. Twin primes are two prime numbers that differ by 2, for example 11 and 13. Do the following: • Write a user-defined function called isPrime that receives an integer as a parameter and returns True if the number is a prime number, otherwise False. • Complete the code for the button Button [4.2 - Twin primes]: Code has been provided to clear the memo memQ4. The user enters a start number in the spin edit spnQ4_2_From and an end number in the spin edit spnQ4_2_To. o Display a heading as shown in the example below. o Use the function isPrime to find and display ALL the pairs of twin primes where both numbers are in the range from the start number to the end number (both included). o Display the number of pairs found. Example of output if the range is from 1 to 50: Twin primes from 1 to 50: (3, 5) (5, 7) (11, 13) (17, 19) (29, 31) (41, 43) Number of pairs: 6 (10) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 26 Information Technology/P1 26 Hlayiso/Mock 2026 NSC Mock 4.3 Button [4.3 - Dice simulation] The program must simulate the throwing of two dice to show learners which totals occur most often. A constant ROLLS = 600 and a global array arrCount have been provided: arrCount: array [2 .. 12] of Integer; Code has been provided to clear the memo memQ4. Write code to do the following: • Set all the elements of the array arrCount to 0. • Simulate ROLLS throws of two dice. For each throw, generate a random number from 1 to 6 for each die, add the two numbers and use the array arrCount to count how many times each total (2 to 12) occurs. • For each total, display the total, the number of times it occurred and a bar that consists of ONE asterisk (*) for every complete 10 times that it occurred, as shown in the example below. • Determine and display the total that occurred the most. If more than one total occurred the most, display the first (smallest) such total. Example of output: Total 2: 15 * Total 3: 39 *** Total 4: 51 ***** Total 5: 60 ****** Total 6: 85 ******** Total 7: 97 ********* Total 8: 78 ******* Total 9: 74 ******* Total 10: 44 **** Total 11: 37 *** Total 12: 20 ** Most frequent total: 7 NOTE: The numbers may differ due to the nature of random numbers. (9) • Enter your examination number as a comment in the first line of the program file. • Save your program. • A printout of the code may be required.
