04 Documenting & Debugging


Name: Hanan Hassan

Directions

This assessment has three parts. Choose one of the options provided below:

Scenario Option 1: You’re volunteering for an organization whose mission is to raise


awareness in high schools about the impact of voting. They would like you to build them
a program they can use at events. The program should have a conversation with the
user that asks them their current age, why they think voting is important, and tell them
how many years until they can register to vote.

Scenario Option 2: Do you enjoy being creative and making up your own scenarios?
If you do, then this option is for you! Come up with any scenario for this assignment as
long as you do the following:

• • Scenario must be about making the world a better place.

• • Ensure people reading your code understand your scenario (do this with
lots of comments).

• • Follow the requirements described below.

Part One: Algorithmic Design and Pseudocode

Use the algorithmic design stage of computational thinking to design a program. Remember that
algorithmic design is where you create step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. This must
begin with pseudocode, then be translated to Python using your pseudocode as a guide.

Write your pseudocode where indicated below. Your pseudocode should be written in English
(not Python), indicate a conversation about improving the world, and must:

• be written in a series of steps that reflect algorithmic design

• include at least three interactive prompts

• assign user input to variables to be used throughout the program. (For example,
this could be their name or age.)

• print a tip on the importance of your selected topic

Example of expected output: The output for your program should resemble the following
screenshot. Your specific results will vary depending on the choices you make about the
conversation and the input provided.

print("Welcome to the Voting Awareness Program!")


name = input("What is your name? ")
age = int(input("How old are you? "))
years_until_voting = 18 - age
voting_importance = input("Why do you think voting is important? ")
print("Tip: Voting is crucial because it gives you a voice in your
government!")
print("Thank you for participating, " + name + "!")
print("You are currently " + str(age) + " years old.")
print("You have " + str(years_until_voting) + " years until you can register to
vote.")
print("You believe voting is important because: " + voting_importance)
Write your pseudocode here:

Step 1: Print a welcome message


Step 2: Ask for user's name
Step 3: Ask for user's age
Step 4: Calculate years until they can register to vote
Step 5: Ask why they think voting is important
Step 6: Print a tip about the importance of voting
Step 7: Display a summary of the user's input

Part Two: Algorithmic Design and Program Code

Use the Python IDLE built into this course to code and run your program. Your code must:

• Use comments for internal documentation (including a heading with your name,
today’s date, and a short description of the program). Remember that you can
copy/paste much of your pseudocode for this internal documentation.

• use concatenation to join string literals and string values–Hint: print("This is a


string literal " + name + ", that was followed by a value and another string
literal.")

• Follow the Python style conventions regarding indentation and the use of white
space in your program.

• Run successfully and produce output similar to the example above.

When you’ve completed writing your program code, save your work by selecting ‘Save’ in the
Python IDLE. When you submit your assignment, you will turn in this Python file separately.

Part Three: Generalize & Assess with a Post Mortem Review

Complete the Post Mortem Review (PMR). Write thoughtful two- to three-sentence responses to
all the questions in the PMR chart.

Post Mortem Review Question Response

What was the purpose of your program? To educate kids about voting
How could your program be useful in the real For example if you can’t go to vote you
world? can simply vote through a website

What is a problem you ran into, and how did I didn’t have any problems thanks to my
you fix it? brother his an expert at programing

Describe one thing you would do differently proppably not going straight in to it before
the next time you write a program. not studying it

How could your program be generalized and It could be used in schools to educate
useful in other areas? students about voting
