Week 3 – Term 1 2018

Learning Objective: to understand what is involved in data collection and determining solution requirements.

Reminder: Your Design Brief is due next week – 21st February.

Theory

To begin the week, we’ll be finishing off the ‘Programming Fundamentals’ theory from last week.

This week we’ll be looking at what is involved in collecting data to help determine solution requirements.

Programming

Your programming tasks are as follows:

  1. Create a program that will ask someone their name and their date of birth.
  2. Using their date of birth, calculate their age as of the current day and print it.
  3. Extension: Print their age calculation in number of years, then number of months, then number of days, then number of seconds.

Homework

Theory: complete the data collection and Gantt chart tasks given to you in class. Due: 19th February
Programming: complete the age calculator program. Due: 21st February
