2. Write a type definition for each of the following::

a. A collection of ten integers

b. Student information containing a 25 character name, an integral final exam grade, a real average, and a character for the final grade

c. A group of 45 students

d. A class definition containing a 45 character instructor name and information for 45 students

3. Provide each of the following array or record aggregates:

a. A collection of ten integers initialized to all zeroes

4. Given the following type declarations:

TYPE Seasons IS (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn);
SUBTYPE Semesters IS Seasons RANGE Spring..Autumn;
TYPE Quarters IS NEW Seasons;

which are subtype declarations and which are derived types?
