Merry Christmas: Here's is your homework

Over Christmas it is important that you complete the following work:

• Finish the report on Analysis tools and techniques
• Finish the report on Design tools and techniques
• Finish the report on investigation methods

Obviously if you have completed this work already then you will have less to do over Christmas.

Complete the first draft of the feasibility report for Bloke's Charity shop, we started this in class during this last week of term.

The work needs to be completed by Monday 7th January 2013

When we come back we will start work on the solutions to Bloke's charity shop, so you need a good idea as to what the problems are (which your feasibility report will help you identify) before you can provide solutions.

C# report and evaluation

Monday 26th November 2012 will be your last day in class working on the C# report and evaluation.

You need to hand in this report so I can check it. Make sure it's presentable and follows the formats from your own VB reports.

In Class we will look at the final tasks for Unit 8.

Unit 8 Reports and evaluations submission

You need to submit your final reports and evaluations for the three programs you wrote by Friday 30th November 2012.

Make sure you have looked at all the guide materials and your individual feedback.

Mistaken use of Select Case

When I showed you how to check multiple cases to do the same outcome I accidently used a format found in the language C#. This results in no action being taken.

Below is a short example illustrating the way I showed you and the correct way to do it.

For p = 0 To s.Length - 1
    Select Case s.Substring(p, 1).ToLower()
 
          'correct way to test for multiple cases with same outcome
          'use comma between things you want to do the same action with
          Case "a", "b", "c" : counter = counter + 1
 
          'wrong way to test for multiple cases with same outcome
          'this will not work
          Case "a" : Case "b" : Case "c" : counter = counter + 1
     
     End Select
 Next
