Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 1
a) Use pseudocode to describe an algorithm that counts the number of letters, digits and
special characters in a string. Anything between 'a' or 'A' and 'z' or 'Z' is considered a
letter, anything between 0 and 9 is considered a digit, while anything else is considered a
special character.
Input: a string s read from the keyboard, for example s = '3 beautiful days.'
Output: letter count / = 13, digit count d = 1, special character count c = 3
For solving this task, consider the string to be an array of characters and do not use any
predefined functions that would make this task trivial.
b) Show an implementation of the algorithm designed in the language of your choice. You
will not be penalised for small syntactical errors.
c) Implement an algorithm in the language of choice that counts the occurrence of a digit in a
number recursively.
Input:
a number n read from the keyboard, for example n = 30563323
a digit d the occurrences of which should be counted, for example d = 3
Output: a number c = 4 (i.e., how many of digit d there are in n).
For solving this task, consider the string to be an array of characters. You can use any
predefined functions in the language of your choice, however their name and
number/location of arguments must be accurate.

- Using a for Loop Summary In this lab the completed program should print the numbers O through 10, along with their values multiplied by 2 and by 10. You should accomplish this using a for loop instead of a counter- controlled while loop. Instructions 1. Write a for loop that uses the loop control variable to take on the values O through 10. 2. In the body of the loop, multiply the value of the loop control variable by 2 and by 10. 3. Execute the program by clicking the Run button at the bottom of the screen.
