Plagiarism Warning:
As per AOU rules and regulations, all students are required to submit their own TMA work and
avoid plagiarism. The AOU has implemented sophisticated techniques for plagiarism detection.
You must provide all references in case you use and quote another person’s work in your TMA.
You will be penalized for any act of plagiarism as per the AOU’s rules and regulations.
Declaration of No Plagiarism by Student (to be signed and submitted by student with TMA
work):
I hereby declare that this submitted TMA work is a result of my own efforts and I have not
plagiarized any other person’s work. I have provided all references of information that I have
used and quoted in my TMA work.
Important Note:
•
•
For all questions you need to write the full algorithm and implement the algorithm
by using OUBILD script. The student should provide provide one screenshot for
the OUBUILD script and two screenshots for differnt outputs.
If you will not provide SCREENSHOTs you will lose grades

Implement the algorithm using OUBuild script following the above steps and
provide clear screenshots for the OUbuild code with output
Question 2 : (8 marks)
A friend, Anna, has a lot of books in her house. She has asked me to create a program
that will keep and display a list of the book titles. She wants to be able to add a book
title to the list. So, you are requested to write a program to help Anna to add a book title
to the list according to the following specifications:
•
•
Create a list of book titles containing minimum 5 titles.
Ask the user to enter a book title
o If the book title exists in the list, then it shouldn’t be added to the list and a
message should be displayed informing the user that the title is a
duplicate.
o If the book title doesn’t exist in the list, then it should be added to the list
and a message should be displayed informing the use that the title has
been added to the list.
To answer question 1, you need to do the following:
1. You need to write a small draft for what kind of gathering information and
question you need before you design the algorithm.
2. Based on the above explanation write an algorithm to help Anna in entering a
book into the books list without duplication.
3. Draw a flowchart of the algorithm
4. Explain your algorithm and how it works by your own words.
5. Implement the algorithm using OUBuild script.
6. Provide a screenshot of the OUBUILD program.
7. Provide two screenshots of the output, one showing the case when you enter
a new book to the list and another showing adding an existing book to the list.
Question 3: (6 marks)
Each year the AOU University has an election for student club chairman. The students
who were passed in the election among the university are preparing the list of
candidates who will be the chairman for the club. They put all candidate in a list called
(candidate) and recorded the votes in a different list called (votes).
•
•
•
•
In the program you will construct you are requested to create 2 lists one for
candidate and one for votes
Initialize Candidate list with at least 3 names.
Initialize Votes list with at least 10 vote names.
The program should count the votes of each candidate and declare the winner.
For example:
Candidate
Ahmad
Rami
Sara
…….
Votes
Rami
Ahmad
Rami
Rami
Sara
……….
O
To answer question 2 you need to do the following:
1- You are required to write an algorithm that will find and display the winner based
on the above steps.
2- Implement your algorithm by the OUBUILD
3- Provide two screenshots with different output
