Identify the core assignment: write flowchart and C++ code for three programming problems involving decision structures, nested if-else statements, and logical operators. The problems are as follows:

Q1. Input a KCST ID (10 digits). Based on its first 2 digits, display a message:

If the first two digits are 16, output "You enrolled in 2019"; otherwise, output "Invalid ID".

Q2. Input three integers and print the smallest; if two or more are equal, print "some are equal".

Q3. Analyze and determine the output of the provided C++ program with nested if-else statements.

Paper For Above instruction

The following paper provides detailed solutions including flowcharts and C++ code implementations for each of the three problems described above, focusing on nested decision structures, if-else-if ladder, and logical operators.

Problem 1: Determining Enrollment Year from KCST ID

The first task involves processing a 10-digit KCST ID and utilizing the initial two digits to determine if the student enrolled in the year 2019. The program must validate the input and output an appropriate message. This problem emphasizes the use of nested if-else statements to handle validation and decision-making.

Flowchart Design:

  • Start
  • Input the 10-digit ID
  • Extract the first two digits
  • Check if first two digits are '16'?
  • If yes, display "You enrolled in 2019"
  • If no, display "Invalid ID"
  • End

Corresponding C++ Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main() {


long long id; // Using long long to ensure 10-digit input


cout << "Enter your 10-digit KCST ID: ";


cin >> id;


int firstTwoDigits = id / 100000000; // Extract first two digits


if (firstTwoDigits == 16) {


cout << "You enrolled in 2019" << endl;


} else {


cout << "Invalid ID" << endl;


}


return 0;


}

Problem 2: Finding the Smallest of Three Numbers or Reporting Equality

The second problem requires inputting three integer values and determining the smallest. Additionally, if any two or more numbers are equal, the program should output "some are equal". This problem demonstrates the use of logical operators and nested decision structures.

Flowchart Design:

  • Start
  • Input three integers: num1, num2, num3
  • Check if any two are equal: (num1 == num2) OR (num2 == num3) OR (num1 == num3)
  • If yes, output "some are equal"
  • If no, find the smallest:
    • If num1 < num2 and num1 < num3, output num1
    • Else if num2 < num1 and num2 < num3, output num2
    • Else output num3
  • End

Corresponding C++ Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main() {


int num1, num2, num3;


cout << "Enter three integers: ";


cin >> num1 >> num2 >> num3;


if (num1 == num2 || num2 == num3 || num1 == num3) {


cout << "some are equal" << endl;


} else {


if (num1 

cout << "Smallest number is: " << num1 << endl;


} else if (num2 

cout << "Smallest number is: " << num2 << endl;


} else {


cout << "Smallest number is: " << num3 << endl;


}


}


return 0;


}

Problem 3: Analyzing the Nested If-Else Program Output

The third problem involves understanding the flow of a given C++ program with nested if-else statements:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main() {


int a, b, c;


a = 9;


b = 5;


c = 2;


if (a 

if (a 

cout << a;


else


cout << c;


else


if (b 

cout << b;


else


cout << c;


return 0;


}

Analysis and answer:

Given the initial values: a=9, b=5, c=2, the flow proceeds as follows:

  • Check if a < b: 9 < 5? No, so go to the else branch.
  • In the else branch, check if b < c: 5 < 2? No, so go to the else branch inside this.
  • Output c, which is 2.

Therefore, the program will output:

2

This exercise emphasizes understanding nested if-else structures and their execution flow.

Conclusion

This paper has presented solutions with flowcharts and C++ code for three decision-structure problems, demonstrating proficiency in nested decision structures, logical operators, and control flow analysis in C++. Proper understanding of these fundamental programming concepts is essential for developing robust decision-making code, especially as programs grow in complexity.
