CSCI110A

Event-Driven Programming Using Visual Basic 6.0

Fall 2004

Homework 4

Specification:

#2 p454 3rd Edition

#2 p456 4th Edition

#2 p470 4th Edition Update

This Programming project is not in the Essentials Edition

Step 1

Study the program specification.

Step 2

Design an algorithm (the steps to solve the problem). The following web page will help you design your algorithm and pseudocode:

http://www.coquitlamcollege.com/adawson/Pseudocode.htm

Step 3

Development the pseudocode from your algorithm.

The following web page will help you design your algorithm and pseudocode:

http://www.coquitlamcollege.com/adawson/Pseudocode.htm

Step 4

Using your pseudocode as a guide, implement your program in the VB language.

Your program should start with a comment block that contains the following information:

' File: HW4.frm (HW4.vbp)

' Purpose: Student Grades - Random Access File

' Programmer: [write your name here]

' Course: CSCI110A

' Date: [write the date name here]

' Algorithm:

' Pseudocode:

' Test data:

Step 5

Test your program by running supplying your own test data. You should test your program with at least 3 sets of test data. Show your test data and results in comments at the top of your program.

Step 6

On the due date, you should save your homework files (HW4.vbp and HW4.frm) and any algorithm and pseudocode files to your folder on the network in:

CSCI110A\Week13\HW4

Assignment Presentations : In week 13 class 1, a random selection of the homework assignment programs will be presented to the CSCI110A group.

Program points will be based on the following marking scheme:
