BTEC Level 5 Computing: Unit 1 Programming Assignment 2 Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and event-driven programming. It explores the characteristics of each paradigm and their relationships. The report then delves into the common features of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of using an IDE for application development. Furthermore, it examines the debugging process within an IDE, highlighting its role in creating secure and robust applications. The report also discusses coding standards, explaining their importance in team development and for individual developers. The assignment covers the application of these concepts within the context of a software development scenario, including the use of a Hotel Management System as a case study, detailing user requirements, implementation, and testing of a solution using an IDE and adhering to coding standards. The report also includes an evaluation of the source code, the debugging process, and the significance of coding standards for organizations.

Unit Learning Outcomes:

Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Assignment scenario
Scenario: You have applied for a post as a trainee with a software development company and have been
invited for an interview. You have been passed the presentation to demonstrate your problem solving and
basic programming skills. Now you are given a more challenge task to create a fully working, secure
application that has been developed using an IDE and adheres to coding standards for a detailed business
problem.
Tasks
You will discuss a suitable problem with your mentor and list the user requirements before designing,
implementing (coding) and testing a solution. You will create a report that should include:
● Introduction to your program (list of requirements and screenshots of program)
● Explain some of programming paradigms. Evaluate why and how your program use these (or some of)
paradigms.
● Explain the common features of an IDE should have and evidence of how the IDE was used to manage
the development of your code.
● An evaluation of developing applications using an IDE versus developing an application without using an
IDE.
● An explanation and evaluation of the debugging process in the IDE used and how it helped with
development.
● An explanation and evaluation of coding standards used in your program and the benefits to
organisations of using them.

The working application produced must also be demonstrated together with the presentation.
Case Studies
You can choose one of following case studies to implement
Hotel Management System:
A Hotel Management System is a software built to handle all online hotel activities easily and safely. This
System will give the hotel management power and flexibility to manage the entire system from a single
online portal. The system allows the manager to keep track of all the available rooms in the system as well
as to book rooms and generate bills.
1. The system should support the booking of different room types like standard, deluxe, family suite, etc.
2. Guests should be able to search the room inventory and book any available room.
3. The system should be able to retrieve information, such as who booked a particular room, or what rooms
were booked by a specific customer.
Library Management System
A Library Management System is a software built to handle the primary housekeeping functions of a library.
Libraries rely on library management systems to manage asset collections as well as relationships with their
members. Library management systems help libraries keep track of the books and their checkouts, as well
as members’ subscriptions and profiles.
Library management systems also involve maintaining the database for entering new books and recording
books that have been borrowed with their respective due dates.
1. Any library member should be able to search books by their title, author, subject category as well by the
publication date.
2. The system should be able to retrieve information like who took a particular book or what are the books
checked-out by a specific library member.
3. User can add books with its information such as: title, author, publication date, category etc and update
it
Movie Ticket Booking System
An online movie ticket booking system facilitates the purchasing of movie tickets to its customers. E-
ticketing systems allow customers to browse through movies currently playing and book seats, anywhere
and anytime.
1. Each cinema can have multiple halls and each hall can run one movie show at a time.
2. Each Movie will have multiple shows.
3. Customers should be able to search movies by their title, language, genre, release date, and city name.
4. The customer should be able to select a show at a particular cinema and book their tickets.
Airline Management System
An Airline Management System is a managerial software which targets to control all operations of an airline.
Airlines provide transport services for their passengers. They carry or hire aircraft for this purpose. All
operations of an airline company are controlled by their airline management system.

This system involves the scheduling of flights, air ticket reservations, flight cancellations, customer support,
and staff management. Daily flights updates can also be retrieved by using the system.
1. Customers should be able to search for flights for a given date and source/destination airport.
2. Customers should be able to reserve a ticket for any scheduled flight. Customers can also build a multi-
flight itinerary.
3. Users of the system can check flight schedules, their departure time, available seats, arrival time, and
other flight details.
4. The admin of the system can add new aircrafts, flights, and flight schedules. Admin can cancel any pre-
scheduled flight (all stakeholders will be notified).
Restaurant Management System
A Restaurant Management System is a software built to handle all restaurant activities in an easy and safe
manner. This System will give the Restaurant management power and flexibility to manage the entire
system from a single portal. The system allows the manager to keep track of available tables in the system
as well as the reservation of tables and bill generation.
1. The waiter should be able to create an order for a table and add meals for each seat.
2. Each meal can have multiple meal items. Each meal item corresponds to a menu item.
3. The system should be able to retrieve information about tables currently available to seat walk-in
customers.
4. The system should support the reservation of tables.

ASSIGNMENT 2 ANSWERS
1. Procedural paradigm
1. Definition:
Instructional Programming (Procedural Programming) can be the first set-up that new programmers
will learn. Essentially, procedural code is code that directly executes a task in a step-by-step manner.
This model using the way to close the computer from the down treats data and procedures as two
possibly different realities. Aft on the concept of call to the processors, Instructional programming
continuously divides the program into procedures, called functions, which simply contain a series of
steps to be executed.
Simply put, Instruction Programming continues to the job of writing out a list of instructions to tell
the computer what to do step by step to complete the task.
Example: compare with imperative and declarative programming with C# language, for a set, find the
number not divisible by 2
With imperative programming, use statements to traverse a list of elements:
P a g e | 1

With declarative programming:
1.2 Characteristics:
Object-oriented programming (Object-Oriented Programming - OOP) is an object-
oriented assistive programming technique, which has become a standard
orientator of advanced programming. The strength of the setup instruction object
is code reuse, providing a modular structure of the program explicitly, hiding
inside data, helping to simplify the programming complexity of the problem.
2. Object – oriented paradigm
2.1 Definition:
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of
"objects", which can contain data and code: data in the form of fields (often known as
attributes or properties), and code, in the form of procedures (often known as methods).
A feature of objects is that an object's own procedures can access and often modify the data
fields of itself (objects have a notion of this or self). In OOP, computer programs are designed
by making them out of objects that interact with one another. OOP languages are diverse, but
the most popular ones are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes, which
also determine their types.
