Qn1. 15 Marks

A leading insurance provider maintain their customer (Member) details based on the following database table
structure.

Member Policy
Member_ID Name Count of Policy_ID Member_ID Policy_Type Premium
policies Ex: P101 1001 Health 1200
Ex: 1001 Amber 1 Ex: P102 1002 Health 1000
Ex: 1002 Aiden 2 Ex: P103 1002 Car 800

The insurance company has approached you to develop a simple menu drive program to read and manage
members and policies details. The company has made the following requirements:

a. The program should be menu driven

b. Each member could maintain zero (0) or many policies
c. Each policy will be linked a member
d. Each policy will have a non-negative premium
e. The types of policies are car, health, travel and pet
f. The program should be capable of reading any number of members and any number of policies under
each member
g. The program should have facility to search members by member name
h. The program should have facility to calculate the total premium across all the policies
i. The program should have facility to display all members and policies details

As part of this assessment, you are required to develop C – language-based program to fulfil the above
requirements. Your program should be based on the following instructions:

a. Use appropriate C – language constructs to create member records - Structures

b. Use appropriate C – language constructs to create policy records – Nested Structures
c. Ensure your approach allows a member to maintain 0 or many policies
d. Use enum to create policy types
e. Use dynamic member allocation to create and maintain any number of members and policies.
f. Total premium calculation should be done using Recursive Function

On selection of option 5, the program should terminate.

Qn2. 5 Marks

Create a one-dimension array to read 20 alphabetical letters (your program should be able to detect and
print out an error message if a non-alphabetical letter is inputted).
As each letter is entered, print it only if it has been entered before.
Write a function that can sort the array after all 20 letters have been entered.
Write another function that print out the most frequent letter and number of time it was entered.
Prepare for the case where all 20 letters are different, or all are the same. Use the smallest possible
variables and minimum array size to solve the problem.

Qn3. 5 Marks

This question has two parts.

Part 1:
Write a complete program to draw rectangles on a SwinGame graphics window with width 1 and height
equal to the values of the array elements.
Your program should have four functions, main(), get_color(), fill_array() and draw_bar().

use SIZE 800

---------------------------------
Function: Main
---------------------------------
Local Variables:
- data (struct sample array with 800 (use SIZE) elements)

Steps:
1: Open a Graphics Window with title “Array rectangles” that is
800x700
2: Call srand() function
3: Call fill_array() passing data array
4: Do
5: Process Events
6: Clear the Screen to COLOR_WHITE
7: Call draw_bar() function passing data array
8: Refresh the Screen limiting it to 60 FPS
9: While Window Close is not Requested

---------------------------------
Function: get_color
---------------------------------
Parameters received – num (integer value)
Return type - color
Local Variables:
- clr (color)
- hue (float)
Steps:
1: set hue, the value of num devided with screen height (typecast for
float value)
2: set clr, the value returned by hsbcolor(hue,0.7,0.8)
3: return clr

---------------------------------
Function: fill_array
---------------------------------
Parameters received – data (struct sample array)
Return type - void
Local Variables:
- i (int for loop counter)

Fill the data array’s value element with 800 random integers ranging
between 0 to 699 (you can take modulus with screen height.

Fill the data array’s clr element with color returned by getcolor
function (getcolor function is called by passing each array element)

---------------------------------
Function: draw_bar
---------------------------------
Parameters – data (struct sample array)
Return type - void
Local Variables:
- i (int for loop counter)
- x,y, rectwidth (float values)
Steps
1: Set the rectwidth the value 1
2: Start a for loop that runs 800 times
3: Set x, the value of rectwidth times i
4: Set y, the value Screen Height – data[i].value
5: Fill Rectangle with data[i].clr, at position x,
y, with width rectwidth and height value part of data
array

Once you have completed part 1 extend your program to include a sort_data function. When the user
press the key S or R (SKEY and RKEY) the sort_data function should be called and it should sort the
rectangles in ascending order as shown below. Sort function is called with in the main inside do … while
loop.
