Introduction
Task 1
For this task, I have been asked to create a program that will test primary school
children on their basic arithmetic skills.
The program should generate a quiz consisting of randomised questions using any
two numbers and addition, subtraction and multiplication. It will have to be able to
record the students name and ask 10 questions and mark the questions out of 10
I will also be using an array of variables that will allow for more than one change at a
time. Task 1 heavily relies on the Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) of the CPU (Central
processing unit) because task 1 mostly consists of calculations and logic in the
sense of adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplication. In addition, the program
works off the ram meaning no information is stored on the hard drive/solid state drive
and when the program ends or the computer is turned off the programs information
is lost and no longer exists.
For task 1, task 2 and task 3 I will be using a High level programming language. A
high-level language is usually stated high level because of it similarity to human
language. languages like FORTRAN, C, C++ and python are all very similar to
human languages, but languages like Befunge, chef and FALSE are all high-level
languages that are not similar to human languages because of the complexity these
types of languages are called esoteric programming languages.
Success criteria
The program must be able to generate 10 maths questions

Must be able to ask and remember students name
Must have a range of random integer
Must not have repetitive questions
The programs able to mark questions and put right answers
Must be able to reset for the next student
Must cover all arithmetic operations (+-*/)
Validation (name has to be in string) (answers have to be real/integers)
Questions must be appropriate for their age
Score the questions
Questions must be clear and easy to understand

Techniques
For this task, I will be using python 2.7 as a high-level language and I have thought
about what techniques I will need to use this includes:
Variables something that will change, I will be using variables for answering
the test and as conditioning/validation. Like when I question = 0 #setting all
varibles to be empty and clear before the program runs
Iteration loop validation, to loop until answer is within validation ranges.
Like when I while question < 11: #this while loop will make sure that the
program underneath runs till the variable reaches a certain value
Constant - something that will stay the same (name, etc.). Like when I NAME
= raw_input("Please type your name here: ") #i set name input as a
constant (a value that stays the same) because throughout the time the
program is running the name will not change
Conditioning validate sequence. Like when I else: #if not the correct
answer to the question then it will display the following
print "Incorrect,the correct answer = " + str(correct_answer) + "."
#tells you if you are incorrect and gives correct answer
Score - to mark questions right or wrong and mark accordingly and to count
and remember correct answers. Like when I marks = marks + 1 #adds 1 to
the mark variable
Operator - to use characters, such as (+/*-). Like when I if operater_1 == 3:
# if operater_3 equals 3 the this loop becomes in action
print str(unit_1) + " - " + (unit_2) #adds 1 to the question variable so
that only 10 questions are asked no matter what generates the sum
question = question + 1 #adds 1 to the question variable so that only
10 questions are asked no matter what
answer = input()#user input for question
correct_answer = unit_1 - unit_2#program works out correct answer
Integers - number based answers (validation). Like when I unit_2 =
random.randint (1,10)
Functions to create functions such as random and time. Like when I import
time #imports functions for the possibility for time which allows you to create
stops in the program
Logic and or Not. Like when I while question < 11:

Evidence of program working
My test runs, asks for name and displays instructions it then displays ten questions
one by one and says whether u are correct or incorrect if in the case you are
incorrect it displays the correct answer at the end of the program it displays how
many questions you got correct.
14 | P a g e
Name: Liam Jones
Conclusion
My program work for task one in the way I wanted it to. The program asks ten questions of
different arithmetic operations and random integers, this worked very well but their problem
trying to stopping negative questions and I did not approach fixing this error in the program,
also I had a problem with the programs restart loop. I tried to implement a restart loop but it
just caused my program to fail and give errors, which I did not have time to fix so I removed
it completely and left it working.
My program fulfils most of my success criteria apart from a few points which I was unable to
test or fix such as the stopping questions that required answers that were negative numbers
which I did not try and fix because of the time zone we had and the unclearly of how to
approach fixing that problem.
The program must be able to generate maths questions my program successfully

generates 10 questions before ending.
Must be able to ask and remember students name the quiz has variable that allows
the program to remember students names.
Must have a range of random integers the integers are randomly generated,
ranging between 1 and 10.
Must not have repetitive questions there is no validation for this because
The programs able to mark questions and put right answers the program marks
and checks the answer and marks it on whether it is correct or not.
Must be able to reset for the next student the program does not reset and requires
the program to reboot in order to reset.
Must cover all arithmetic operations (+-*/) the program uses all the operation but
division because the user cannot enter decimal point numbers because the program
cannot register numbers less than one.
Validation (name has to be in string) (answers have to be real/integers) - my program

uses multiple sets of validation to prevent the program failing or developing an error.
Questions must be appropriate for their age - questions are limited to only integers
between 1 and 10.
Score the questions - works out a score at the end.
Questions must be clear and easy to understand - all questions are laid out in a very
simple clear understandable way.

The problem with task 1 is that it runs off volatile memory Aka the RAM, this means that the
names and results collected by the quiz are lost as soon as the program is shutdown this is
fix in task 2 where the results are sorted.
Task 1 is the starting of the other two tasks, creating the quiz that is needed for the other two
to function.

Techniques
For this task, I will be using python as a high-level language and I have thought
about what techniques I will need to use this includes:
Conditioning validate sequence. Like when I else: #if not the correct
answer to the question then it will display the following
print "Incorrect,the correct answer = " + str(correct_answer) + "."
#tells you if you are incorrect and gives correct answer
Score - to mark questions right or wrong and mark accordingly and to count
and remember correct answers. Like when I marks = marks + 1 #adds 1 to
the mark variable
Operator - to use characters, such as (+*-). Like when I if operater_1 == 3: #
if operater_3 equals 3 the this loop becomes in action
print str(unit_1) + " - " + (unit_2) #adds 1 to the question variable so
that only 10 questions are asked no matter what generates the sum
question = question + 1 #adds 1 to the question variable so that only
10 questions are asked no matter what
answer = input() #user input for question
correct_answer = unit_1 - unit_2#program works out correct answer
Integers - number based answers (validation). Like when I unit_2 =
random.randint (1,10)
Logic and or Not. Like when I while question < 11:
Write writes over the stored information. Like when I
log_maths_quiz.write(name) #this writes the value that is asigned to 'name'
in to the text file
Append add to the information. Like when I log_maths_quiz =
open('log_10c1.txt', 'a+') #creates or opens the file under the name inside of
the brackets if the file does not exist then it is created

Conclusion
During task 2 I found the most difficult part about it was the learning of the new data
logging code, the easiest part was implementing the newly learnt code in to my
previously created code. My code work is, as the task wants it to logging the pupils
scores and name in the correct form folder as the task asked of the code. I ran in to
a few problems with the organisation of the files and many syntax errors because of
miss understandings in my code. I overcame every problem, my code originally was
over complicated and long I compressed it down and included many separate points
into one and that reduced my code down, reduced the possibility of errors, and made
the errors easier to see. This helps me improve my program and complete more
units of my success criteria but still had problems with certain aspects of my success
criteria such as approaching negative questions and repeating results from the same
user.
The program must be able to generate 10 maths questions the

program continues to successes in this task very well and produces 10 maths
questions.
Must be able to ask and remember students name the program

askes and stores users names in a .TXT file.
Must have a range of random integers it randomly produces integers

between 1 and 10.
Must not have repetitive questions have not set up validation for this
based on the fact that the possibility of a question repeating in very slim.
The programs able to mark questions and put right answers my

program performs the sum its self and works out the correct answer before
marking the users answer
Must be able to reset the program requires a reboot in order to reset
Must cover all arithmetic operations (+-*/) the program uses all
operations

my program uses multiple sets of validation to prevent the program failing or
developing an error

Introduction
Task 3
The teacher wants to use the results from students taking these quizzes to log their
performance. The system should store the last three scores for each student. The
teacher would like to be able to output the results of the quiz for a particular class,
sorted: in alphabetical order with each students highest score for the tests, by the
highest score, highest to lowest, by the average score, highest to lowest. Analyse the
requirements in detail for this program and design, code, test and evaluate a
program that will allow the teacher to select which class group to look at and which
field to use when sorting the output data.
In the previous two tasks Ive created programs that have run a maths quiz that
creates adding, subtracting, multiplication and division sums at random with random
integers however while we are still creating a quiz for task 3 the previous solutions
will not be suitable because in the previous tasks a .txt file was used and this would
not be compatible with task 3 because task 3 requires you to store the last 3 scores
of each student, sort in alphabetical order, by the highest score (highest to lowest)
and by average score (highest to lowest) this would not be able to be done in a .txt
file. Therefore, I would have to use a .csv file because this would allow me to do
things that a .txt file would not allow. For this task, I will also be introducing a GUI
(graphic user interface) to make the program more user friendly and easier to use.
Success criteria
Must be able to reset

The programme will allocate the scores gained by the students to the
folder associated with their form and name
Will store the students last 3 scores
Store in alphabetical order with each students highest score for the test
By the highest score, highest to lowest
By the average score, highest to lowest
Save to a csv file

Name: Liam Jones
For this task, I will be using python, as a high-level language my program will be
using variables to state the amount of questions done and questions needed to be
done. Variables will also be used to record, store and show the score at the end. I
will be using loops in my program for validation so that users can only input valid
data such as integers (numbers) and string (letters and symbols) and not cause
errors in the program. I will be using constants to establish the same data throughout
such as names. I will be including operators into my program to make my
mathematic questions be more users friendly. I will be using functions such as
random to get random integers and operators also; I will be using GUI function in
order to make the quiz more users friendly.
Conditioning validate sequence. Like when I
Logic and or Not. Like when I while choice == 0: # a while loop that set
continues while the variable choice is equal to 0

my program runs and asks for the form you wish to view then gives you 4 options on
what to do with the results in the picture I have shown the scores. The program
displays the scores and then gives you the option to see the options again; I said no
and asked the program to end.

Conclusion
For task 3, I had to approach the programing from a different angle, because the
ways the sorting and saving the results interacted with the quiz so I took step back
and revisited the task that was set, and realized that the quiz was not asked to be
included in the program so I removed it completely and stuck to completing strictly
what the task asked me to do. Which was to have a program that could store and
sort results, which my program does.
Task 3 differs from the other two tasks because it utilises a record database (DBMS,
database management system. Captures and analyses data), its a record database
because there are multiple fields (basic unit of data) the fields are name, score,
maximum, minimum and average. Storing information like this is far more organised
and efficient for sorting and manipulating.
My program completes most of my success criteria with only a few minor problems
that could have been resolved with more time and a second set of eyes to spot
obvious bugs (software error, flaw or fault that causes an incorrect or unexpected
result)
Must be able to reset the program resets and goes back to the
original multi choice menu.
Validation (name has to be in string) (answers have to be

real/integers) my program asks the user for the form results
they wish to view and has validation to make sure that they enter
a one of the 4 options correctly.
The programme organises and be able to display students

results and names the program organises the results perfectly
and displays the information in an understandable way.
Will store the students last 3 scores the program stores and
displays the last 3 scores and organises based on the 3 scores.
Store in alphabetical order with each students highest score for

the test my program unfortunately does not sort alphabetically
in the simple fact that I did not implement I this function because
of time restrictions and unknowing of how to approach this task.

By the highest score, highest to lowest my program sorts

highest to lowest scores and also lowest to highest fulfilling these
criteria and more.
By the average score, highest to lowest the program takes and

average of all 3 scores and saves to the csv file.
Save to a csv file the program organises and saves the results
to the csv file also retrieving the information from the csv file.
