HNDIT Year I Semester I 2023 – Visual Application Programming 3
Using switch statement write the code for the txtQuantity_TextChanged( ) event to calculate
the sub total (8 marks)
private void txtQuantity_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string selectedDrink = comboBoxDrink.SelectedItem.ToString();
int quantity;
double price = 0;
double subtotal = 0;
switch (selectedDrink)
{
case "Espresso":
price = 250;
break;
case "Latte":
price = 350;
break;
case "Cappuccino":
price = 300;
break;
case "Americano":
price = 275;
break;
case "Mocha":
price = 400;
break;
default:
txtSubtotal.Text = "Please select a drink.";
}
subtotal = price * quantity;
txtSubtotal.Text =subtotal.ToString();
}
iv. Write a C# program to find the maximum number among three numbers entered by the
user. Assume the numbers are stored in three variables: num1, num2, and num3. Use
appropriate logic to determine the maximum number and display it to the user.(6
marks)
// give 6 marks for the logic
HNDIT Year I Semester I 2023 – Visual Application Programming 4
Ex:
int max = num1; // 1 mark
if (num2 > max) //2 mark
{
max = num2;
}
if (num3 > max) //2
{
max = num3;
}
// Display the maximum number //1 mark
Console.WriteLine($"The maximum number is: {max}");
Question 04 [20 Marks]
i. State two differences between while loop and Do while loop (4 marks)
While Loop: The condition is checked before executing the loop body. If the condition
is false initially, the loop body will not execute even once.
Do-While Loop: The condition is checked after executing the loop body. This
guarantees that the loop body will execute at least once, even if the condition is false on
the first iteration.
ii. What is an infinite loop? (2 marks)
An infinite loop is a loop that continues to execute indefinitely because its termination
condition is never met
iii. Write the output of following programs ( 9 marks)
a.
for (int i=0;i<=30;i+=5){
Console.WriteLine (i);
}
0
5

20
25
30
b. int counter = 0;
do
{
Console.WriteLine("Counter: " + counter);
counter++;

{
break;
}
Counter: 0
Counter: 1
Counter: 2
Counter: 3
Counter: 4
a.

}
Console.WriteLine("The summation of even numbers between 0 and 100 is: " +
sum);
}
