Programming Practice

Let's create a couple of programs using the techniques shown for the previous program

Remember to solve each task you have to:

1. Ask yourself the 4 questions
2. Create the top level of the program
3. Write the required subroutines with useful comments included

 

What you have to do!

Let's make life a little easier with this program.

1. You have to create a program where the the user enters a score with 3 darts and,
2. the program calculates and displays the total.
3. What makes this program relatively easy is that the form is provided for you.

 

Read!

1. Download the DARTS program by clicking on the button. Make sure you choose Save .
2. Move the zipped folder into your VB Programs folder.
3. Right click on the zipped folder and choose Extract All or Extract Files. Click OK or Next and keep going until the process is Finished.
4. Create the program and test that it works using several different values (darts scores should all be less than 60 - treble 20 being the highest score possible).
5. Tick off your Progress Grids

 

 

What you have to do!

The whole task from objects to code to testing is yours. 

1. Create a program that calculates and displays the area of a rectangle after prompting the user to enter the length and breadth of the rectangle.
2. Test carefully that the program works correctly.
3. Tick off your Progress Grids

 

 

What you MAY have to do!

Ask your teacher whether you should do the following task.

 

Assessment 1 (A1).

Complete the assessment FOOD MIXERS in your progress grids

 

Mark off Exercise 8 in your progress grids.

 

What you should now be able to do!

• Create a form containing the objects text box, label and list box

• Write the top level of a program and include the required subroutines

• Test a program runs correctly and remove any errors where needed
