| - | Multiple Choices Algorithm - by Mark Kelly | + | Using Event Management Software for a Golf Tournament |
| - | Another in the Fun with Algorithms series | + | Planning out a tournament of golf is a stressful task. You don’t have to work your socks off to conduct a successful gold tournament anymore. Thanks to technology, a computer is all you need to plan a quality golf tournament. The operation of your tournament can be streamlined using software that eliminates the need for constant communication. Your tactics of event promotion pre- as well as post-match can be effectively managed, thanks to software packages. |
| - | Stuff Pty Ltd sells stuff. The unit cost of the stuff varies according to the quantity ordered. Customers can order any number of items. Stuff Pty Ltd use this scale: | + | The lifecycle of the entire event can also be mapped using the software. It was designed to help individuals manage all aspects of their tournament. The interesting features of the software include its knack of listing raffle and auction items, as well as its ability to use PayPal to process payments and to accept donations. |

| - | 30-39 items = $88 each | + | |
| - | 40-49 items = $85 each | + | |
| - | 50 or more = $82 each | + | |
| - | Task: using pseudocode, create an algorithm to calculate the unit cost of the items at different quantities. Then calculate a total cost with 10% GST added. | + | Large Database – Ideal for Big or Small Leagues |
| - | Convert the pseudocode into code. | + | |
| - | Create test data to fully test all aspects of the solution’s functionality. | + | |
| - | Note: Input data need not be validated, and the interface can be very basic. | + | |

It also creates a website for your tournament. Online registrations may be accepted for teams and individuals, and a record of their awards, payments, and stats can be stored online. Each database can hold around 300 golfers, making the software ideal for all kinds of leagues. A profile can be created for each golfer, and it can contain a headshot, career history, biography, and much more. Your campaign can be streamlined by the software, and it also grants you full access to sophisticated email tools that can be used to send updates, e-newsletters, and private messages to staff members, players, or advertisers. |

All the financial information about your advertisers and top donors can be accessed in detail with the help of the software. It also features a knowledge base and helpdesk where players and advertisers can make enquiries in a setting resembling a forum. |

| - | + | The Internet has gained so much popularity that it is an integral part of several systems. Your campaign will require effective advertisement in order to be successful, and the software for planning golf tournaments can help in creating a professional and attractive website from the beginning to the end. It can take care of payments, online registration, player data such as name, phone numbers, address, email address, payment details, etc. It can also create profiles for every player and help in conducting operations after the game as well. | |

When stats are entered into the system, the program can announce the names of the winning players on the homepage of the tournament’s website, as well as notify the players. |
| - | + | The software is an affordable and easy way to manage any golf tournament aimed at fundraising. The design of the program is ideal for community and non-profit organizations. It has everything required to hold a profitable and successful golf outing. | |

| - | Use flow charts or N-S charts to elegantly solve the following algorithms. Some are harder than others... Try actually coding it after doing the brainwork. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Round any decimal number UP to the next highest multiple of 0.25. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Convert any Roman number to decimal (e.g. MCMLXIX to 1969) - and/or vice versa | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Convert any binary number to decimal. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Find the lowest (or greatest) common denominator of 2 integers (or report that there is no LCD or GCD). | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | List prime numbers up to 100 | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Simulate the display of a single-digit liquid crystal display | ||
| - | Assume there are 7 LCD bars like this | ||
| - | _ | ||
| - | |_| | ||
| - | |_| | ||
| - | |||
| - | Feed it any numeral or alphabetic character in hexadecimal range (0 to F) and it should turn on the right bars. (Efficiency is the key requirement here!) | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Given a price including 10% GST, give the ex-tax price and the tax component, e.g. $11 inc = $10 ex + $1 GST. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Create a virtual deck of cards encoded as numbers 1 to 52. Given any number from 1 to 52, the algorithm should return the suit and rank represented by the card. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Create an algorithm to shuffle the virtual deck of cards | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Create an algorithm to play naughts and crosses - it should be unbeatable if the algorithm plays first. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | Given an number of dollars, calculate what notes or coins need to be given as change from $100. e.g. $67 = 1 x $20, 1 x $10, 1 x $2, 1 x $1. | ||
| - | -- | ||
| - | An electrical company is developing a new main-powered sensorlight with the following requirements: | ||
| - | • It turns on its LED light for a predetermined time (e.g. 60 seconds) after sensing movement with its passive infrared (PIR) detector. | ||
| - | • It does not turn the light on if its light detector senses that the room is already well illuminated (e.g. during the day) | ||
| - | • While its light is on, any further movement detection resets the timer back to its starting value and the countdown starts again. | ||
| - | Convert your algorithm into a working simulation of the light. You will need to simulate: | ||
| - | • The day/night sensor (e.g. with radio buttons) | ||
| - | • The movement sensor (e.g. with a mouse click or keypress) | ||
| - | • The LED light (e.g. with a shape changing its colour) | ||
| - | Show the value of the countdown time onscreen to verify its behaviour. | ||
