Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out intermediate programming activities using another programming language. The language may be an object-oriented language.It applies to individuals who are programmers in a variety of fields and who are required to produce software programs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Code using user-defined data structures
  • 1.1 Design, define and use data structures that are aggregate of other data types
  • 1.2 Code using array of user-defined data types
  • 1.3 Use facilities in language to create, manipulate and destroy dynamic variables such as arrays
2. Code using standard algorithms
  • 2.1 Use modular programming approach to coding, including pass-by-reference parameter passing
  • 2.2 Write code to create and manipulate 2-D array
  • 2.3 Create and maintain sorted array and use language-provided facilities for sorting array of ordered elements
  • 2.4 Code simple binary search technique for use with array of sorted data
  • 2.5 Code binary file-handling solutions using random-access algorithms
3. Debug code
  • 3.1 Use stand-alone debugging tools or tools provided by integrated development environment (IDE) to debug code
  • 3.2 Use debugger to trace code execution and examine variable contents to detect and correct errors
4. Document activities
  • 4.1 Follow organisational guidelines for developing maintainable code and adhere to provided coding standard when documenting activities
  • 4.2 Apply internal documentation, suitable for use by peers, to all code created
  • 4.3 Use documentation tools available in target language when documenting activities
5. Test code
  • 5.1 Design and document tests
  • 5.2 Undertake limited testing of produced code to ensure compliance with program specification
  • 5.3 Capture and record test results
6. Create application
  • 6.1 Build application in response to user requirement
  • 6.2 Access multiple source-code files
  • 6.3 Employ IDE project maintenance facilities or make files to automate program building
  • 6.4 Develop program specification solution when provided with basic design document
  • 6.5 Design algorithm and document, construct and test applications in response to problem description using target language
  • 6.6 Document completed application
