Submission Guidelines:

4
COC Internal Assessment MGMBPTC ICT Department

 Submit your ERD as a PDF file.

 All SQL scripts should be organized and commented, then submitted in a single SQL file
or multiple files compressed in a .zip archive.
 Provide screenshots or output logs where necessary, especially for tasks involving data
retrieval or schema modification.
 Ensure that the backup file is accessible and properly labeled in your submission.

Part 5: User Authentication Input Validation

Objectives:

In this project, you will design a simple user authentication system that checks whether a user
has entered both a username and a password. The project aims to help you understand the
importance of input validation and how to implement basic conditional logic in Python.

 Develop a basic Python script that prompts the user for input.
 Implement conditional logic to validate the user's input.
 Provide appropriate feedback to the user based on the input received.

Project Requirements:

1. Script Functionality:

 Your script should prompt the user to enter a username and a password.
 The script must check if both fields are provided.
 If both the username and password are provided, the script should display a
success message.
 If either the username or password (or both) is missing, the script should prompt
the user to provide both.

2. Detailed Instructions:

 Input Handling:

5
COC Internal Assessment MGMBPTC ICT Department

 Use the input() function to collect the username and password from the
user.
 Store these inputs in variables named username and password.

 Conditional Logic:

 Implement an if-else statement to check if both the username and

password variables contain values.
 Display a message "Both username and password are provided." if both
fields are filled.
 Display a message "Please provide both username and password." if one
or both fields are empty.

3. Code Structure:

 Your code should be organized and well-commented.

 Follow Python's best practices for naming variables and structuring your script.

4. Testing:

 Case 1: Both username and password are provided.

 Case 2: Only username is provided.
 Case 3: Only password is provided.
 Case 4: Neither username nor password is provided.

 Case 5: Spaces or empty strings are entered as username and/or password.

5. Submission Requirements:
o Submit the final Python script (user_authentication.py) containing your solution.
o Include a short report (maximum one page) explaining how your script works, the
logic you implemented, and how you tested the code.

Section Two:

Project Overview: In this section databases can be created and connected to the Web. After
establishing a connection and interact with the database, the candidates perform database user
input manipulation of update existing data stored in the database, insertion of data in the
database and deletion of data in the database

In this section the candidate also design and execute code on the server Server-side scripting for
dynamic web pages involves the use of variables, data types, operators, conditional statements
and loop statements in PHP.
