Explain what this error is with an example. (3 marks) 10. Why must you be careful when passing arrays to functions as parameters? (1 mark) 1 Section C: Programming (40 marks) 1 Use a looping structure to get 10 numbers from the user (you do not need to do any input validation). Keep a count of even and odd numbers entered by the user. At the end, display the number of even and odd numbers entered by the user. (5 marks) int main() { return 0; 2 2. You have to implement a while loop to search for a username from a list of names. The string array containing the names is already declared. Write C++ code to find the usemame in the array. When the username is found, display “Search successful”.

You are required to design and implement a program that reads a log file then performs some analysis on the data found in the file.

In order to process this file, the contents need to be read into appropriate arrays. The first column records the day, the second column records the login time and the last column records the logout time for a user. In the space below, write C++ code to declare a maximum capacity of the arrays, and the three arrays of this capacity. (3 marks) b. Which header file is needed to facilitate the file reading? (1 mark) > winclude < 14 cc. Within your main() function, open the log file and read all its contents into the arrays created above in part a. You do not need tore-declare those arrays, if you need any additional variables and constants then you must declare them. (6 marks) int main() { return 0; + 15, 4, Implement a function called maximum() which receives an integer atray and its capacity as parameters and retums the largest number in the array at the end of the program. (5 marks} 5. a. Write a function called swap!) which accepts two char parameters by reference and swaps their char values. (5 marks) b. Write the function callin your main() function. Pass the char variables 'X' and 'Y' as the two characters to be swapped by the swap() function. (2 marks) int main() { return 0; 16 6. As the software developer for your local town council, you are responsible for creating an automated business registration system for the council. This will be a console based system that allows the clerk to enter individual business details and stored the data in a plain text file. Each new business being registered will create a new file by the name of the business. The details gathered include Business name, Owner's name and type of business (example, restaurant, hardware, bank, etc). a. Write down the pseudocode for this program. (3 marks) b. Write the C++ code for this program. (5 marks) itinclude #include using namespace std; int main() { v return 0; The End 18
