MOD2 - Quizzes and Project Solutions

Objectives: In module 2 you are learning about the recommended flowcharting tools used in planning computer programs. Use the demos and quizzes to test your skill as you develop the skills needed to write computer programs.

Quiz Selection

Pre-test MOD2

• Testing your basic knowledge of flowcharting tools before getting started might be a good idea. Notice that this test might be considered a bit more informational about your skills rather than a knowledge test.

A Sample Solution for Ocean Levels - Using Raptor

Part I - Starting A Project

Raptor Problem Demonstration

Starting Out With C++, Tony Gaddis, Chapter 2 - Ocean Levels

Objectives: As a beginning program to write I pulled this problem out of the C++ book but it can easily be used as a program for our Flow Charting class. See if you can look this one over and write your own solution. I will add my suggestions below.

Assuming the ocean's level is currently rising at about 1.5 millimeters per year, write a program  that display

• The number of millimeters higher than the current level that the ocean's level will be in 5 years,
• The number of millimeters higher than the current level that the ocean's level will be in 7 years,
• The number of millimeters higher than the current level that the ocean's level will be in 10 years,

If this is your first problem to attempt you might want to review the solution videos first and then make your attempt after you have an idea about the requirements. The end result should be you having a Raptor solution that runs just like the demo.
