Internal and external documentation, user and technical documents, then three worked programs from problem to IPO, algorithm, code, test table and evaluation.
5 narrated scenes. Press play, listen and read along — the points appear as they are explained. Use ‹ Prev / Next › or the scene bar to jump to any scene.
This lesson puts the whole unit together. Three complete examples show what the marker is looking for in the problem-solving SBA project and in Paper 032.
Narration uses your device’s built-in voice. No sound? Switch to “Captions only” — the captions advance on their own.
Copy these into your notebook in your own words — that is how they stick.
Comments, names and indentation in the code.
User guide and technical documentation.
Technique for finding the largest or smallest.
Add 1 to a counter inside an IF.
total = total + value inside a loop.
Selection with different formulas.
Reject unreasonable input.
6 algorithm, 4 trace, 1 run, 3 features, 1 documentation.
