costs of buying ice cream.
• It displays each temperature stored in an array of temperatures.

• It then calculates a discount. When the total cost is over 100.00, the discount is
10%. Otherwise, the discount is 5%.

• name of a constant used in the program
• name of an array used in the program
• line number of an initialisation of a variable with a real number
• line numbers for a selection construct
• line numbers for a repetition construct
