Right I have finished and uploaded the last video, well it’s uploading as I type. I will add the videos and code to the previous post in the morning. In the mean time you can watch all these videos on our Higher Computing play list.
Apparently my Christmas coursework posts were not detailed enough. So I “volunteered” to do a more “live” version. I have had to split this into sections, however, because of the speed of my computer (or rather its connection to the server) I have only got the 1st and 2nd parts done. I will complete the others from home the image below should explain my problem. (I need to wait for 3 hour while the software compiles 15 minutes of typing into a slide show)
I would like to apologise to Katie, she was looking at the sequence of posts on the 2011 coursework and became confused with the “Short” data type. At the time I wrote the solution for the 2011 coursework we were using VB6, this uses the Integer data type to store whole numbers. When I created the articles in December, I opened up the original project using VB2008EE to capture the screen grabs. The import wizard unbeknownst to me had changed the data type to short. I should have noticed it but I missed it, sorry.
I’ll let the MS help do the explaining after the break.
Head on over to scratch and if you set yourself up with an account you can download the sampler.
It wont let me embed the program in this post, which is annoying and I will keep at it. You’ll find the scripts after the break.
I had a few questions about this in class today, so I think it’s worth going back over it.
Parameters are used by procedures and functions to pass information in and out. They are used in the definition and in the call of these constructs.
Can you find any problems with the program above?
I want you to cast your mind back to December, the terrible rain, the lack of snow. Can you picture it? At that time I created a series of posts, which took you through the process of completing a coursework. When I set today’s task, a lot of you looked the same way you did in August, when I told you about impossible tasks. While I am on the subject of time travel, you might want to look at a post from the 2nd of October. (Help with the task after the break) Continue reading Its only been six weeks!
I have a suspicion that these slides are already on here from last year but just in case I thought it was worth posting them again.
Create a program that generates 1000 random D20 throws (numbers between 1 and 20). It should then display the luckiest and unluckiest numbers. All number counts should then be shown to for the user to verify the results.
