In this In this lesson we set you a Learning Consolidation Assignment.
The assignment is to make a Prototype Real World Calculator that could later be ported/converted into a Web App.
We provide the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Calculator solution as an example of a full Design, Build and Test.
For your assignment you need to complete all of the Analysis research, Design, Coding, and Testing steps just like we have done for the BAC Calculator example project.
To help with Application Testing and Documentation, we show you how to use “Debug.Writeline” for Program Testing, as well as desk checking with Trace Tables.
Although not absolutely essential, we recommend that you have completed the prior VB Lessons in our course, as this assignment will require you to use all of the skills and learning covered thus far in the Programming Course.
You only have to design, build, and test ONE Real World Calculator, but if you want to do more then Go For It!
