Designing, creating and refining algorithms Questions

Practise OCR GCSE Computer Science Designing, creating and refining algorithms with exam-style questions for GCSE Computer Science. 50 questions, matched to the OCR GCSE Computer Science (J277) specification and written in Component 01 and Component 02 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.

This algorithm calculates the loyalty points a customer receives when recycling plastic at a smart deposit point:

01  weight = input("Enter weight")
02  isVIP = input("Is customer VIP? (Y/N)")
03  if weight >= 15.0 then
04      points = 5
05  elseif weight >= 5.0 then
06      points = 3
07  else
08      points = 1
09  endif
10  if isVIP == "Y" then
11      points = points + 3
12  endif
13  print("Points awarded:", points)

Complete the trace table for the algorithm when a customer recycles a weight of 8.5 and has VIP status input as "Y".

You may not need to use all the rows in the table.
