Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Apply language syntax and layout
  • 1.1 Apply basic language syntax rules
  • 1.2 Use language data types, operators, and expressions to create a clear and concise code
  • 1.3 Apply the variables and variable scope
  • 1.4 Use the library functions in a program
  • 1.5 Use commenting to create a clear meaning to the code
2. Apply control structures
  • 2.1 Apply the language syntax for sequence, selection and iteration constructs
  • 2.2 Use logical operators to create expressions for use in selection and iteration constructs
3. Code using standard algorithms
  • 3.1 Develop algorithms that use the sequence, selection and iteration constructs
  • 3.2 Create and use arrays
  • 3.3 Code the standard sequential access algorithms, for reading and writing text files, including end-of-file detection loops
  • 3.4 Apply string manipulation
4. Test the code
  • 4.1 Use debugging techniques to trace code execution and examine the variable contents to detect, and correct, errors
  • 4.2 Create and conduct simple tests, to confirm that the code meets the design specification
  • 4.3 Document the tests performed and results achieved
5. Create an application or game
  • 5.1 Design an algorithm in response to basic program specifications
  • 5.2 Develop the application or game to meet the program specification
  • 5.3 Test and confirm that the application, or game, meets the initial specifications
