Task 1: (LO1: Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of programming an application) Your manager has first asked you to create a report on programming algorithms. Within the report, you should detail what an algorithm is and outline the process in building an application. You should use an example with screenshots of code to help you. Your manager would also like you to add a section that determines the steps taken from writing code to execution. You should be using Visual Studio as your IDE example. Your final section should detail an examination of an algorithm in a suitable language. Your manager has asked you to examine a C# algorithm and evaluate the relationship between the written algorithm and code variant. Ensure that your report is well laid out, using examples of code throughout. Task 2: (LO2: Explain the characteristics of procedural, object-oriented and event-driven programming conduct an analysis of a suitable Integrated Development Environment (IDE)) Your report should include the following, (inserting images were necessary): · An introduction to provide an overview of your report. · Characteristics of different programming paradigms. · The advantages and disadvantages of Procedural, Object-oriented and Event- driven. Your report should include an explanation of each paradigm, an analysis of suitable IDE’s and an evaluation of source code that would be generated for an application. Task 3: (LO3 Implement basic algorithms in code using an IDE.) (LO4 Determine the debugging process and explain the importance of a coding standard.) The software development unit of the company you are currently working for have a position available for an application developer which you are interested in applying for. As part of the application process they want to see that you can implement algorithms using an IDE. Your aim is to create 3 fully working programs:
- A bank registration system to be used for Bank Clerks – the system should be able to input this type of data: First Name Last Name Date of Birth Telephone Number
Account Number The data should output to a table that is styled. The Account number should be made up of 9 numbers on output, but with only up to 3 numbers as input – please see example below:
First Name: Abdel
Last Name: Jones
Date of Birth: 03/03/
Telephone Number: 07967 599208
Account Number: (input example: 965) 000000965
- A coin flip application that will run ten times giving the player heads or tails. Once the application has run 10 times, giving the result every time. After ten attempts the console will output: “Press any key to exit…” which will then close the application.
- A text adventure game that is well styled and laid out. The text adventure can be any style or make that you like, as long as it includes the following: a. Switch / Case b. Random Generator c. Else If statements d. While Loop / For Loop The game should also be able to restart whether you win or lose. The document portfolio should include:
- Evidence of how the IDE was used to manage the development of your code.
- An evaluation of developing applications using an IDE versus developing an application without using an IDE.
- An evaluation of the debugging process in the IDE used and how it helped with development.
- An evaluation of coding standards and the benefits to organisations of using them. The working application produced must also be demonstrated.
D1 Examine the
implication of an algorithm in a suitable language. Evaluate the relationship between the written algorithm and the code variant. Learning Outcome Assessment Criteria Date Achieved Tutor Initials LO Explain the characteristics of procedural, object- oriented and event-driven programming conduct an analysis of a suitable Integrated Development Environment (IDE) P2 Give an explanations of what procedural, object- oriented and event-driven paradigms are; their characteristics and the relationship between them. M2 Analyse the common features that a developer has access to in an IDE.
D2 Critically evaluate the source code of an application which implements the programming paradigms, in terms of the code structure and characteristics. Learning Outcome Assessment Criteria Date Achieved Tutor Initials LO Implement basic algorithms in code using an IDE P3 Write a program that implements an algorithm using an IDE. M3 Use the IDE to manage the development process of the program
D4 Critically evaluate why a coding standard is necessary in a team as well as for the individual.
