Unit Learning Outcomes:
LO1 Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of programming an
application
Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Assignment 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 asked to demonstrate your problem solving and basic programming
skills. To do this you have to prepare a report on using algorithms to solve problems.
You need to explain, using examples, how algorithms are used to solve simple business problems and
the steps needed to be followed to produce a working program solution. You should make clear your
assumption about your program. The problems to be solved will involve basic procedural programming
instructions - sequence instructions (input, output and assignment statements), loops, conditional
statements. Problems should be analysed and designed by the use of flowchart and demonstrated by
the use of modules (procedures).
Tasks:
 State your simple business problems to be solved.

 Analyse the problem and design the solutions by the use of suitable methods.
 Demonstrate the compilation and running of a program
 Evaluate how the problem is solved from the designed algorithm to the execution program
written by a specific programming language.
