Introduction
By the time you receive this tutorial letter you should have already completed assignment 2 and we hope
that you are well on your way with your studies. This tutorial letter contains the solutions to Assignment
2. You are welcome to e-mail me with any queries at schoema@unisa.ac.za.
Please study this tutorial letter carefully, even if you achieved a good mark. We provide valuable
explanations with each question to help you understand the study material and prepare for the
examination.
Allocation of marks
When we mark assignments, we comment on your answers. Many students make the same mistakes
and consequently we discuss general problems in the tutorial letters. It is, therefore, important to work
through the tutorial letters and to make sure you understand our solutions and where you went wrong.
The maximum number of marks you could obtain for Assignment 2 is 65. This is converted to a
percentage. If you for instance obtained 40 marks for Assignment 2, you received 40/65 * 100 = 62% for
Assignment 2. This percentage in turn contributes a weight of 30% to the year mark, as can be seen in
the summary of the weights allocated to the assignments for COS1512 below.

We give the mark allocation for the questions below. Please note that this is NOT the way exam answers
will be marked. Note that you were required to include the program code and the input and output for all
the questions. If you did not include the output for your program, you will not get full marks for the
question. We discuss a possible solution for each question below. Please study the solution and the
discussions thoroughly.

character by character and produced the correct output, you will get 4 marks. If you attempted the
question but did not process the text file character by character or did not show the correct output, you
will get 3 marks. If you attempted the question but did not process the text file character by character,
