    Softwares over! How'd we all go?

    Piss easy but ambiguous, uninteresting and totally not syllabus related.

    Multiple Choices

    I put down B for question 6. That question was extremely ambiguous. Excel defines quality assurance as the set of procedure used to certify that a generated product meets specified criteria with respect to quality and reliability. So I mean honestly, that means B and C really. But I chose B...

    Multiple Choices

    Question 17 was simple general knowledge. If you've ever worked with parameters and variables you'd know the answer straight away. Initially i = 1 j = 2 k = 3 process(i,j) so, that means process(1,2) Now looking at the subprogram, that makes the parameters: j is 1, k is 2 Now...

    Do it all again

    I am considering it as a possibility if I do not the UAI which I want. It is true that I have not worked to the best of my abilities this year and that I am capable of greater marks. By repeating I could put in much more effort and easily achieve a very high mark in all my subjects. Imagine an...

    Anyone got answers for SDD 2002 Catholic Trial

    In general I find that the older CSSA exams don't really follow the syllabus enough and have very ambiguous questions but I'll give it a go now since I have that paper. 1. B 2. A or B, I'd say A (ie: He could use Microsoft Access to make a database and store the info) 3. I think it's C...

    Lexical Analysis

    I don't have my notes by me right now so this is just from my memory. Lexical analysis is the process that ensures that all reserved words, identifiers, constants and operators are legitimate members of the language's lexicon. Process: 1. Redundant characters are removed (ie: remarks...

    SDD Marathon v1

    Some of you guys are hopeless haha... It is true that they generally ask very broad questions (although some questions can get pretty specific, ie: 2002 option1). Anyway, if you're able to answer the specific questions, you'll be fine with the broad ones.

    SDD Marathon v1

    Simple. Post the solution to the question above you and ask a new question. It'd be a good idea to provide a solution for your question as well after someone else has attempted it to make sure that their solution is correct. I'll start it off. 1. Outline the three levels of testing...

    Spot the Error

    Oh, you are correct and I have realised my mistake. Sorry about that. I'll edit my original solution then. Lol! What a lame mistake ey!

    Spot the Error

    1. My fixed algorithm will only print-out the coordinates of the seats which have not been sold (notice the control structure). 2. Yes perhaps you could embellish the print-out of the actuall program in real life but this is pseudocode and I don't think that it is necessary to worry much about...

    Spot the Error

    i. First error: The algorithm does not reset the value of the seat variable to '1' after the 10th seat has been checked. Hence the value of the seat variable becomes and stays '11'. Now because the value of the variable seat '11' is greater than '10' the "while seat <= 10" loop will never be...

    Help: Heuristics

    In Sam's textbook, it states that neural networks differ from expert systems because they are able to learn. So does that mean that expert systems aren't able to "learn" and make assumptions based on prevous experience? Then where do heuristics come in? This is contadictory. One one hand...

    Help: Heuristics

    I've read several textbooks but in all of them the definition for heuristics is rather ambiguous and the concept is not explained very well. Could anyone enlighten me? By the way this is in the Evolution option and is a logic paradigm concept.

    Hard integration question

    Haha I got it out thanks to this thread. Really, what are the odds that a question posted here 2 days before the exam actually appears in the exam hehehe!! Well thanks a lot anyway :P!

    milliondollarhomepage

    It's hard to believe that people are actually dumb enough to waste their money like this. And for what? Pixels? 0's and 1's? What a bunch of losers. I'm still surprised that stupid ideas like this can work. There has been countless money making schemes on the internet before and this is...

    French extension

    ^ I think you and I might be the only ones in the state who attempted that question about teachers. Haha, I talked heaps of bullshit about how teachers can have hard times, how they don't get paid enough etc... Anything to make whoever is marking my exam feel better, even though I generally...

    q4 biased toward 4 unit

    You know what's funny? Just one or two days before the extension examination, someone posted a thread in the maths forum with that same integral. Had I not read that thread at 3AM the day of the exam I would probably not have known how to do that question haha. So thanks to whoever it was...

    Q3(a) WTF!!!!

    I halved it once. I hope that was correct. I agree that the question was somewhat ambiguous.

    Q2: Solutions

    Question 2: a. Find d/dx(2sin-15x). d/dx(2sin-15x = [2/(1-25x2)1/2] . 5 = 10/(1-25x2)1/2 b. Use the binomial theorem to find the term independent of x in the expansion of [2x-(1/x2)]12. Tk+1 = nCk.an-k.bk Tk+1 = 12Ck.(2x)12-k.(-1/x2)k Tk+1 = 12Ck.(2)12-k.x12-k.(-1)k.x-2k Tk+1 =...
