You only need to create a working program for
this section. You will be assessed on the
quality of your program
code...
- Have you used the facilities
of the programming language appropriately?
Eg. Have you used loops instead of
repetitive code?
- Have all the variables/objects/subroutines got
self-documenting names?
Eg. A variable should be called
VATRate
not X
Eg. A textbox should be called
txtSurname not
TextBox1
- Have you displayed the structure of the program?
Eg. Display structure by indenting
blocks?
Eg. Have you broken the code down into small sections by
creating your own subroutines instead of having long
sections of 'spaghetti' code?
- Is the user interface
appropriate to the type of user.
Eg. Have you used technical words in
your displayed instructions when the users will be children?

HINT : |
Make sure your program code has lots of annotation - comments explaining
what each section of code is doing. This will help you as it will
clarify your thoughts...as well as the examiner when your work is
assessed.
..oh, and make sure your teacher sees the work is yours. Don't
suddenly turn up one day with lots of complex coding! |
