definition). What are the steps involved in DFD?
Draw the context diagram and level 1 DFD for the following mail order processing system
HMV records is a mail order company that distributes CDs and tapes at discount prices to
record club members. When an order processing clerk receives an order form, he or she verifies
that the sender is a club member by checking the member file. If the sender is not a member, the
clerk returns the order along with a membership application form. If the customer is a member,
the clerk verifies the order items data by checking the item file. Then the clerk enters the order
data and saves it to the Daily Order file. The clerk also prints an invoice and shipping list for
each order, which are forwarded to order fulfillment.
A publisher wants to maintain a computerized order processing system that will process all
orders and produce invoice with shipment notice to the customer. Draw possible level 0, level 1
and level 2 DFDs for the system
R21. A blood bank receives and stores blood donated by people and also gives blood to
individuals or hospitals on demand. The blood bank also has a panel of vendors who supply
various items after receiving the order from blood bank. If a donor approaches the blood bank,
his blood sample is taken and tested for various diseases. If approved blood is taken and stored in
the bank, the contact details of donor are recorded and donor is issued a card which is valid for
one year. During this period the donor by showing the card can get the blood from blood bank.
From time to time blood bank organizes the blood donation camp. Date and venue are announced
in the newspaper and existing regular donors are also informed by post . The blood bank also has
panel of doctors. Two doctors from the panel are also associated with the camp to handle
emergencies. For these requirements draw
a.) ER Diagram
b) DFD

R22. Draw the structured chart for the following program

Main()
{
int x,y
X=0; y=0;
a(); b();}
a()
{
x= x+y ; y=y+5;}
b()
{
x=x+5; y=y+x;
a(); }
R23 A marketing company wishes to construct a decision table to decide how to treat clients
according to three characteristics: gender ,city and gae[A(under 30),B(within 30-60) and
C(above 60)]. The company has four market products for test (W,X,Y and Z). Product W will
appeal to middle aged males who do not live in cities. Prodct Z will appeal to all but older
females

x=x-y
else y=y-x;
return x
}
R34. The suite should include control flow graph, independent paths, cyclomatic
