Use advanced programming techniques to develop a computer program
Use advanced programming techniques to develop a computer program
This standard asks you to write a working computer program using advanced programming techniques. Your program needs to handle at least two different types of data (like numbers and text), use proper decision-making and loops, take input and produce output, and use at least two advanced techniques like functions, lists, or event handling. The work is judged on how well you code it, test it, and document it with clear comments.
Your program works and uses advanced techniques, but your testing is basic (only typical cases) and your documentation could be clearer.
Your program is well-documented with clear names and comments, you follow the language's conventions, and you test both normal situations and boundary cases (like edge values).
Your program is well-designed and structured, it handles unexpected inputs gracefully, it's flexible enough to adapt to changes, and you've tested it comprehensively across all scenarios.
