Assignment 01
,General Guidelines
1. A Cover page or title page – You should always attach a title page to your assignment. Use
previous page as your cover sheet and be sure to fill the details correctly.
2. This entire brief should be attached in first before you start answering.
3. All the assignments should prepare using word processing software.
4. All the assignments should print in A4 sized paper, and make sure to only use one side
printing.
5. Allow 1” margin on each side of the paper. But on the left side you will need to leave room
for binging.
Word Processing Rules
1. Use a font type that will make easy for your examiner to read. The font size should be 12
point, and should be in the style of Time New Roman.
2. Use 1.5 line word-processing. Left justify all paragraphs.
3. Ensure that all headings are consistent in terms of size and font style.
4. Use footer function on the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject, Assignment No,
and Page Number on each page. This is useful if individual sheets become detached for any
reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to help edit your
assignment.

Important Points:
1. Check carefully the hand in date and the instructions given with the assignment. Late
submissions will not be accepted.
2. Ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment by the due date.
3. Don’t leave things such as printing to the last minute – excuses of this nature will not be
accepted for failure to hand in the work on time.
4. You must take responsibility for managing your own time effectively.
5. If you are unable to hand in your assignment on time and have valid reasons such as illness,
you may apply (in writing) for an extension.
6. Failure to achieve at least a PASS grade will result in a REFERRAL grade being given.
7. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic REFERRAL. You will
then be asked to complete an alternative assignment.
8. Take great care that if you use other people’s work or ideas in your assignment, you properly
reference them, using the HARVARD referencing system, in you text and any bibliography,
otherwise you may be guilty of plagiarism.
9. If you are caught plagiarising you could have your grade reduced to A REFERRAL or at worst
you could be excluded from the course.

,Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Task 1: Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process
of programming an application (LO1)
Searching on an array/list is to find a given element on the array and return whether
it is found or not and return its position if found. Linear search and binary search are
two popular searching algorithms on arrays.
1.1 Define what an algorithm is and outline the characteristics of a good algorithm.
Develop algorithms for linear search and binary search using Pseudo code (P1).
1.2 Describe the steps involve in the process of writing and executing a program.
Take an array of 10 or more elements and dry run the above two algorithms.
Show the outputs at the end of each iteration and the final output (M1).
1.3 Define what Big-O notation is and explain its role in evaluating efficiencies of
algorithms. Write the Python program code for the above two algorithms and
critically evaluate their efficiencies using Big-O notation (D1).
Task 2: Explain the characteristics of procedural, object-orientated and event-
driven programming, conduct an analysis of a suitable Integrated Development
Environment (LO2).
2.1 Define what is meant by a Programming Paradigm. Explain the main
characteristics of Procedural, Object oriented and Even-driven paradigms and
the relationships among them (P2).
2.2 Analyze the features of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and
explain how those features help in application development (M2).
2.3 Write small snippets of code as example for the above three programming
paradigms using a suitable programming language(s) and critically evaluate their
structure and the characteristics (D2).
Ayubo Drive is the transport arm of Ayubo Leisure (Pvt) Ltd, an emerging travel &
tour company in Sri Lanka. It owns a fleet of vehicles ranging from cars, SUVs to
vans.
The vehicles that it owns are hired or rented with or without a driver. The tariffs are
based on the vehicle type. Some of the vehicle types that it operates are, small car,
sedan car, SVUs, Jeep (WD), 7-seater van and Commuter van. New vehicle types are
to be added in the future.
,Vehicle rent hire options are described below.
1. Rent (With or without driver) – For each type of vehicle rates are given per day,
per week and per month. Rate for a driver also given per day. Depending on the
rent period the total rent amount needs to be calculated. For example: if a
vehicle is rented for 10 days with a driver, total amount to be calculated as
follows:
Total rent = 1_week_car_rent + 1_day_rent x 3 + 1_day_driver_rent x 10
2. Hire (with driver only) – These are based on packages such as airport drop,
airport pickup, 100km per day package, 200km per day package etc. Standard
rates are defined for a vehicle type for a package type that is applicable for that
type of vehicle. For each package maximum km limit and maximum number of
hours are also defined. Extra km rate is also defined which is applicable if they
run beyond the allocated km limit for the tour. For day tours if they exceed max
hour limit, a waiting charge is applicable for extra hours. Driver overnight rate
and vehicle night park rate also defined which is applicable for each night when
the vehicle is hired for 2 or more days.
Task 3: Implement basic algorithms in code using an IDE (LO3).
3.1 Design suable algorithms for vehicle tariff calculation for rents and hires (P3).
Ideally 3 functions should be developed for this purpose as follows:
Function 1: Rent calculation.
Return the total rent_value when rented_date, return_date, with_driver parameters
are sent in. with_driver parameter is set to true or false depending whether the
vehicle is rented with or without driver.
Function 2: Day tour - hire calculation.
Calculate total hire_value when start_time, end_time, start_km_reading,
end_km_reading parameters are sent in. Should return base_hire_charge,
waiting_charge and extra_km_charge as output paramters.
Function 3: Long tour - hire calculation.
Calculate total hire_value when start_date, end_date, start_km_reading,
end_km_reading parameters are sent in. Should return base_hire_charge,
overnight_stay_charge and extra_km_charge as output parameters.
, 3.2 Implement the above algorithms using visual studio IDE (using C#.net) and
design the suitable database structure for keeping the tariffs for vehicle types
and different packages which must be used for implementing the above
functions (M3).
3.3 What is the purpose of using an IDE in application development? Evaluate the
use of the Visual Studio IDE for your application development contrasted with
not using an IDE. (D3).
Task 4: Determine the debugging process and explain the importance of a coding
standard (LO4).
Design and build a complete system for the vehicle reservation and billing for
Ayubo drive. This includes the completing the database design started in 3.2 and
designing the suitable interfaces for vehicle and package additions and
reservation handling and customer billing (P4).
4.1 What is debugging an application? Explain the importance of the debugging
facility in Visual studio IDE. Debug your source code by putting few debugging
points in your application (P4).
4.2 Implement the above functionalities using the IDE while adopting the coding
standards to improve maintainability of the code. Explain the coding standards
used in your code in the written report (P5).
4.3 Evaluate how you used the debugging process to develop more secure, robust
application with examples (M4).
4.4 Explain the coding standards you have used in your application development.
Critically evaluate why a coding standard is necessary in a team as well as for the
individual. (D4).
