Computer Science

a document that you can use when developing a program to keep track of your progress throughout the project

specific, measurable and realistic benchmarks used to determine if a project, task or outcome has been accomplished successfully

judging how well the program meets the original success criteria or requirements

Programming project - dictionaries II

This unit introduces pupils to the new data structures of records and dictionaries. They will develop a Caesar cipher encryption program using a dictionary as a cipher wheel. Pupils will explore how data can be read from and written to files and how this data can be used within a program.
