2011 Coursework – Software Development Task 3 (Part 1)

3. Using a software development environment of your choice, implement the algorithm. Use separate sub-programs where appropriate. Use parameter passing where appropriate.
Evidence – Structured listing of implemented program. (16)
When converting your (or someone else’s) Pseudocode to your chosen language, you should try not to deviate from the main algorithm.
A quick look at the marking scheme shows us that this implementation requires procedures and parameter passing (as will all courseworks)
  • Start a new project and create a basic form with a command button called CmdStart.
  • Open up the editor and start to recreate the main plan with procedure names (don’t worry about parameters yet)
  • For each of the called procedures create a new “Private Sub”
  • Add any variables needed to get the program to compile (when you run the program it will appear to crash but this just the loop never quitting)
  • SAVE YOUR PROJECT!
