Section D 2020
Section D of your Unit 1 exam will focus on the skeleton program and improvements to it. The question will specify which part of the program is to be used, and what you need to change. I will create a list of potential improvements, and over time we code each one and document it.
Improvements
Adding Functionality
One of the things to notice is that the option menu misses out number 5. So this will be something to add to the skeleton program. This could be to:
2020 - Save a running simulation
2020 - Load a saved simulation
2020 - Process multiple days in one go, ie process a week
Simple Improvements
You may get some simple questions which are often adding validation of some kind:
2020 - Validation on entering text instead of numerical values
2020 - Validation for entering a numerical value in a range
2020 - Validation for ensuring values can't be negative (eg fuel cost)
You may get some questions to add extra outputs to the user:
2020 - Ensure costs are displayed in the format £X.XX
2020 - Display how many days have passed
2020 - Display net gain/loss for the companies
2020 - Display net and average weekly gains/losses for individual outlets
You may also get questions which might involve extending a current feature such as events:
Built in Events Feature
2020 - Add a new event called food scandal, this causes the reputation to fall 20 points
2020 - Brexit will increase fuel costs by 30% and other costs by 25%
New Events Feature
2020 - Brexit will half the probabilities of households eating out
Other extended features could be:
2020 - Add a a distance variable to each household, they will only use outlets within this distance
2020 - Allow outlets to expand by increasing the max capacity
