Assignments

1. Consumer Computer Overview. Click here for presentation
2. Terminology: Parts of a Computer
• Click here for list of parts
• Listen to Mr. Wei for info
• Research a component and create a presentation to teach the class. Click here for instructions
3. Shopping and Building a Computer
   • Use the following links for component shopping: NCIX.com , Anitec.ca , Newegg.ca
   • Using Excel spreadsheets, build 2 computer systems (put one system per sheet), excluding monitors, keyboards, and mice
     1. You have a budget of $600.00 including taxes. Build an entry-level home computer that fits the budget
     2. A friend wants you to build a gaming computer and has given you a budget limit of $1500.00 including taxes. Build a higher-end computer for gaming.

4. C# programming - Hello World (WriteLine, ReadLine, variables and String)
   • Ask for user input
   • print out "Hello <name>"
   • Expand the text sequence to your liking (at least 5 more Q&A)
   • Incorporate an "if-statement" dealing with numbers in your program. For example, make your program detect your age and come up with responses.
5. Console Number Guessing Game (integer parsing, if-statements)
   • You'll give user 1 chance to guess a number
   • The answer will be hard coded into your program
   • Your program will have 3 respones: (1) Number is too large! (2) Number is too small! (3) Correct!
6. 99 bottles of Pepsi on the wall ... (for-loop)
7. Modify your Number Guessing Game to give user 3 chances
8. Modify your Number Guessing Game to have a random number generator
9. Array Intro
• Start a new project file
• In your main function, create an array of integers with 20 elements
• Insert random numbers (using random number generator) into the array (one number for each element, using for-loop)
• print the contents of the array on screen (another for-loop)
10. Bubble Sort (Video Tutorial)(Watch this dancing illustration of bubble sort)
• Here is an animated illustration of bubble sort
• Algorithm:
  1. Compare each pair of adjacent elements from the beginning of an array and if they are in reversed order, swap.
  2. If at least one swap has been done, start from the beginning of the array and repeat step 1.
11. Insertion Sort (Video Tutorial) (Watch this dancing illustration of insertion sort)
• Here is an animated inllustration of insertion sort
• Algorithm:
1. Divide the array into two imaginary parts: Sorted and Unsorted
2. At the beginning, sorted part contains the first element of the array and the unsorted one contains the rest
3. At every step, take the first element in the unsorted part and inserts it to the right place of the sorted one
4. when unsorted part becomes empty, algorithm stops
12. Quick Sort
    • Look at the tutorial and the code snippet and implement your own quicksort using an array of 20 randomly generated numbers
13. Hand-coding assignment
    • You will be coding by hand (written or typed) without help from the internet or other sources other than your own previous assignments
    • See Mr. Wei for assignment detail
14. First GUI Program - Super Simple Functional Calculator
    • Create a super simple calculator that has 2 inputs, 1 operation, 1 calculate button, 1 clear button
15. GUI Program - Windows Basic Calculator
    • Creating a basic calculator (non scientific, not following BEDMAS) similar to the one in Windows
    • Required features: add, subract, multiply, divide, clear (C), clear entry (CE), square root, backspace, positive/negative
16. Final GUI Program - Designing and Programming a non-graphic-based game. Example: Hangman
