[Year 12 SofDev] sofdev Digest, Vol 76, Issue 13

Thu Jul 21 16:18:36 EST 2011

That's correct - Thanks Mark.

So I will proceed on the understanding
that a tablet or laptop is ok.

It also reads such that the user documentation does not
have to be built into the application (prototype). A bit strange.
Seems to be a backward step from last year?

Regards,

Russell Quinn

It's actually in the assessment handbook, page 34 rather than the study
design:

"Teachers should develop an assessment task that allows the student to:

?          apply the relevant stages of the problem-solving methodology
(design and development) to produce a prototype solution for use on a mobile
phone
"

Subject: Re: [Year 12 SofDev] ## Need your help in soring - VB 6

Hello Asha

I tried a deskcheck and made two passes of the C1 loop. It appears to be
moving the pointers so I would expect to see the array printed in a
different order (I can't tell if it will be the correct order!). If you're
not getting any change in order then the problem might be that you are
passing an array to the sub. Does parameter passing default to ByRef or
ByVal? If ByVal then you would NOT expect to see a change because, while
a( ) might be sorted, sortlist( ) won't be.

As a quick way out, I see that you have made sortlist( ) and pt( ) GLOBAL
variables so, insteading of passing them as parameters to the sub, just
write them directly into the sorting sub. NoItems is also global so your sub
does not need any paramters passed to it!

Regards
Robert T-A

Hi all,

I hope all of you enjoying the well deserved break. During the holidays I am
trying to do some preparation for the next term. While doing examples from
VB 6 book related with sorting I could no work out the way to solve the
problem. The attached program does not sort the list. I'll appreciate your
great help in fixing this problem.

Happy holidays,

Asha
