2. Discuss the FIVE (5) phases in the Program development life cycle (PDLC).

3. In Analysis phase we need to understand the problem statement, what is our

requirement, what should be the input, process and output (ipo) of the problem
solution. For the following problem statements, you have to determine the ipo by
using ipo table and expected output screen :

a) Calculate the area of a rectangle.

Example :
ipo table :
input process output
Width, length Area = width * length Area

30

Expected Screen : input statement

Enter a Width :
Enter a length :

The area of a rectangle is XXX Output data

b) Calculate the area of a circle.

ipo table :
input process output
PI=3.1412

Area = PI * radius * radius

Expected Screen :

c) Find the sum and average of FOUR (4) integer number.

ipo table :
input process output

Expected Screen :

d) Calculate the total salaries of 4 employees. The salary is paid based on the
hours worked and rate per hour :
Salary = hours worked x rate per hour . Assume each employees is being paid
using the same rate.

e) Calculate the final mark for a student. The calculation for the final mark is as
follows:
Final mark = carry mark + 50% of final exam mark
Carry mark = 15% of test (1 test) + 12% of quiz + 13% of assignment + 10% of mini
project
i. Prepare ipo table and
ii. Expected screen ouput

f) Calculate the net salary for an employee based on the following :

Net salary = basic salary – (socso + epf + income tax )
Socso = 5% of basic salary ; Epf = 12% of basic salary and
income tax = 10% of basic salary
