Assignment Title Design & Implement a GUI based system using a suitable
Integrated Development Environment
Issue Date Submission Date IV Name & Date Submission Format This submission will have 3 components
- Written Report This submission should be in the form of an individual written report. This should be written in a concise, formal business style using single spacing and font size 12. You are required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work must be supported with research and referenced. provide in-text citations, reference list and a bibliography using the Harvard referencing system. ( The recommended word count is 2 ,00– 25 ,00 words for the report excluding annexures)
- Implemented System (Software) The student should submit a GUI based system developed using an IDE. The system should connect with a backend database and should have at least 5 different forms and suitable functionality including insert, edit and delete of main entities and transaction processing.
- Presentation With the submitted system, student should do a presentation to demonstrate the system that was developed. Time allocated is 10 to 15 min. Student may use 5 to 10 PowerPoint slides while doing the presentation, but live demonstration of the system is required. Evaluator will also check the ability to modify and debug the system using the IDE.
Unit Learning Outcomes:
Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Activity 1
Searching on an array/list is to find a given element on the array, return whether it is found or
not and return its position if found. Linear search and binary search are two popular searching
algorithms on arrays.
1.1 Define what an algorithm is and outline the characteristics of a good algorithm. Develop
algorithms for linear search and binary search using Pseudo code.
1.2 Convert the algorithms developed in 1.1 to executable programmes using Python and
implement a dry run to evident above the execution of two codes. Show the outputs at the
end of each iteration and the final output. Critically evaluate the efficiencies in
implemented codes using Big-O notation.
Activity 2
2.1 Define what is meant by a Programming Paradigm. Explain the main characteristics of
Procedural, Object oriented and Event-driven paradigms and the relationships among
them.
2.2 Write small snippets of code as example for the above three programming paradigms using
a suitable programming language(s) and critically evaluate the code samples that you have
above in relation to their structure and the unique characteristics
Activity 3 and Activity 4 are based on the following Scenario.
Ayubo Drive is the transport arm of Ayubo Leisure (Pvt) Ltd, an emerging travel & tour
company in Sri Lanka. It owns a fleet of vehicles ranging from cars, SUVs to vans.
The vehicles that it owns are hired or rented with or without a driver. The tariffs are based on
the vehicle type. Some of the vehicle types that it operates are, small car, sedan car, SVUs, Jeep
(WD), 7-seater van and Commuter van. New vehicle types are to be added in the future.
Vehicle rent and hire options are described below.
1. Rent (With or without driver) – For each type of vehicle, rates are given per day, per week
and per month. Rate for a driver also given per day. Depending on the rent period the total
rent amount needs to be calculated. For example: if a vehicle is rented for 10 days with a
driver, total amount to be calculated as follows:
Total rent = weeklyRent x 1 + dailyRent x 3 + dailyDriverCost x 10
2. Hire (with driver only) – These are based on packages such as airport drop, airport pickup,
100km per day package, 200km per day package etc. Standard rates are defined for a
package type of a vehicle type if that is applicable for that type of vehicle. For each package
maximum km limit and maximum number of hours are also defined. Extra km rate is also
defined which is applicable if they run beyond the allocated km limit for the tour. For day
tours if they exceed max hour limit, a waiting charge is applicable for extra hours. Driver
overnight rate and vehicle night park rate also defined which is applicable for each night
when the vehicle is hired for 2 or more days.
Activity 3
3.1 Design suitable algorithms for vehicle tariff calculation for rents and hires.
Ideally 3 functions should be developed for this purpose as follows:
Function 1: Rent calculation.
Return the total rent_value when vehicle_no, rented_date, return_date, with_driver
parameters are sent in. with_driver parameter is set to true or false depending whether the
vehicle is rented with or without driver.
Function 2: Day tour - hire calculation.
Calculate total hire_value when vehicle_no, package_type, start_time, end_time,
start_km_reading, end_km_reading parameters are sent in. Should return base_hire_charge,
waiting_charge and extra_km_charge as output parameters.
