1 1 What is the denary equivalent of the hexadecimal number A7? You may use the space below for rough working. You may get some marks for your working, even if your answer is incorrect. Represent the denary value as an unsigned binary fixed point number, with 4 bits before and 4 bits after the binary point. Use the space below for rough working. (c) Represent the denary value -18 as an 8-bit two's complement binary integer. Use the space below for rough working. (d) What is the largest positive denary value that can be represented using 8-bit two's complement binary? Use the space below for rough working. Page 1 of 16
2 (e) Describe how 8-bit two's complement binary can be used to subtract one number from another number. In your answer you must show how the calculation would be completed using the method that you have described. You may use the space below for rough working. (4) Figure 1 shows a state transition diagram for a finite state machine (FSM). Table 1 shows the outputs produced by the finite state machine in Figure 1 for some possible input strings. Some of the outputs are missing from the table below. Input strings are processed starting with the right-most bit. Figure 1 Table 1 Input string Output string (f) (g) What output string should be in position in the table? What output string should be in position in the table? (h) What is the purpose of the finite state machine shown in Figure 1? (i) A finite state machine can be represented as a state transition diagram or as a state transition table. Table 2 is an incomplete state transition table for Figure 1. Page 2 of 16

(Total 8 marks) Page 6 of 16
7 6 The diagram below shows the state transition diagram of a finite state machine (FSM) used to control a vending machine. The vending machine dispenses a drink when a customer has inserted exactly 50 pence. A transaction is cancelled and coins returned to the customer if more than 50 pence is inserted or the reject button (R) is pressed. The vending machine accepts 10, 20 and 50 pence coins. Only one type of drink is available. The only acceptable inputs for the FSM are 10, 20, 50 and R. An FSM can be represented as a state transition diagram or as a state transition table. The table below is an incomplete state transition table for part of the diagram above. Complete the missing sections of the four rows of the table below. Original state Input New state S0 10 S10 S0 S0 S0 (3) Page 7 of 16
8 There are different ways that a customer can provide exactly three inputs that will result in the vending machine dispensing a drink. Three possible permutations are 20, 10, 20, 10, R, 50 and 10, 50, 50. List four other possible permutations of exactly three inputs that will be accepted by the FSM shown in the diagram above. (4) (Total 7 marks) 7 A systems analyst is planning a system for the administration of student courses to be used in an office in a college. The system must allow users at ten workstations to access and update a central database. The analyst initially plans to use either a peer-to-peer or a server-based network. Explain why a server-based network is likely to be more appropriate than a peer-to-peer network in this situation. Page 8 of 16
9 After considering other alternatives, the analyst finally decides to use a thin-client network. Explain how a thin-client network works and how the use of a thin-client network instead of a traditional rich-client (thick-client) network will affect the selection of the hardware to be used by the system. In your answer you will be assessed on your ability to use good English, and to organise your answer clearly in complete sentences, using specialist vocabulary where appropriate. (4) (c) The system will be networked within the college. This network will then be connected to the Internet so that staff who are out of the college can log in and access the system. This connection will use a gateway. What is the purpose of the gateway? (Total 7 marks) Page 9 of 16
10 8 A machine code instruction can be split into an opcode part and an operand part. (i) What does an opcode represent? (ii) What does an operand represent? State two advantages of writing a program in assembly language over writing a program in machine code. Advantage 1:... Advantage 2:... (Total 4 marks) Page 10 of 16

14 11 A pseudo-code representation of an algorithm is given below. FOR x 0 TO 7 DO IF (x MOD 16 >= 4) AND (x MOD 16 <= 11) THEN c 1 ELSE c 0 ENDIF IF (x MOD 8 >= 2) AND (x MOD 8 <= 5) THEN b 1 ELSE b 0 ENDIF IF (x MOD 4 = 0) OR (x MOD 4 = 3) THEN a 0 ELSE a 1 ENDIF OUTPUT (c, b, a) ENDFOR The MOD operator calculates the remainder resulting from an integer division. For example, 7 MOD 5 = 2, 14 MOD 5 = 4. The statement OUTPUT (c, b, a) will display the contents of the variable c, followed by the contents of the variable b and then the contents of the variable a. Explain what is meant by an algorithm. The decision table shown in Table 1 represents the logic of the second selection structure in the algorithm above. The decision table is only partially complete; the shaded cells that should show the actions to be taken have not been filled in. Table 1 Conditions x MOD 8 >= 2 False True True x MOD 8 <= 5 True False True Action b 1 b 0 Complete Table 1 so that it shows the actions to be taken when the conditions have particular values: an 'X' symbol should be placed in the relevant shaded cells to indicate the action that will be executed for the given conditions. Some of the shaded cells will need to be left empty. Page 14 of 16
