Introduction - Background Information

Since the use of computer is very common nowadays, lots of work can be done by using computer and with suitable software. Computer is highly reliable that it seldom fails. It also has a high accuracy that it never does wrong things unless bug presents. The large capacity and high processing speed make computer more popular as it records many files and saves lots of time for people to do other things. Therefore, the applications of computer are varied. Multiple-choice questions always related closely to our daily life. It appears in your tests, work and examinations. We do the questions carefully to make sure that we fill in the correct blanks. However, how do you feel if the marker marks wrongly? In the past, people marked multiple-choice questions and collected data manually. Therefore, it was very time-consuming and wasted lots of manpower. If you want to save the data in computer, you need to key in the large amount of data at once. Therefore, mistakes are made easily by marking manually. In 1951, David Sheppard invented the first Optical Character Recognition (OCR). At first, OCR could only recognize English characters. Nowadays, this technology is greatly developed. It can also recognize Chinese characters. Thus, it has been applied to different areas, such as business, research, study, etc. OCR helps a lot, especially in business. For example, the bank handles a huge numbers of data for investments and this may cause a gain or lost. If there is any mistake or delay when handling the data and costs a lost of its

Introduction - Background Information

client, it needs to compensate for the lost. As the time of using OCR to input data in computer is very fast, we can save time and manpower. Also, it can afford the manual mistakes. Therefore, the problems mentioned before can be solved. Moreover, OCR also helps a lot when marking multiple-choice questions. When the multiple-choice answer sheet is put into the OCR, it scans the answer as an image. Then, the image is changed to characters. Thus, the answer we had chosen can be correctly input into computer and the analysis of the results can be carried out then. OCR is so user-friendly that we can use it without any expertise. Thus, it is used by teachers, students and researchers. We can have many detailed multiple-choice analyses because of OCR. It saves lots of resources for us to do these analyses.

Introduction - Task Objectives

In this coursework, a program is used to produce a detailed analysis report on an inter-school mathematics competition, which is in the form of multiple-choice questions. The program should contain the following functions: First, the program will contain a menu function which can let the user to choose different functions. On the main menu, there will be eight options: showing individual entry, search entry, filter entry, display report, award, edit entry, output report and exit. Having a menu with instructions is clear and convenient for user to use as the user does not need to think of the techniques for using the program. Moreover, the user does not need to input anything, except searching, this reduces the chance of making transcription errors. Second, it will have a bar chart function which shows the position of the each participant and the analysis graphically. This has an advantage that the user can see clearly and immediately where the positions of students are in the ranking. Also, the user does not need to create a chart by himself/ herself. Third, the program will have a function which helps the user to produce a text file. Thus, the user can print out the report in the form of text only. It is more convenient than printing different parts of the report one by one which waste a lot of time and ink. Forth, this program will have a function which allows the user to search specific entry. He can search by ranking, age, id, school and name, etc. It provides a faster method for the user to read a specific data. This saves lots of time, especially for the competition

Introduction - Task Objectives

which holds a lot of data. To search by ranking, the user can quickly find out which participants is at the top of the list and who is at the bottom. To search by age, the user can know participants at which age can do better in the competition. To search by id, to user can rapidly find out the data of specific participant which save time for searching one by one. Sometimes, searching one by one can also miss the data you want. Thus, this can ensure you will not miss out any. To search by school, the user can quickly find out all participants who are from the same school. If the user search one by one, he may also miss some.

search by name, it is just as same as search by id. However, there maybe more than one participant whose name are the same. In this condition, the user have to check with the other data and cause inconveniences. There is still a benefit, if the user does not know the id of the participant.

Introduction - Learning Objectives

Doing this project, writing program, typing project and doing presentation, all the things have to be done by myself. Although I had done a project of Computer and Information Technology before, this is the first time I do the whole project individually. Therefore, I hope I can learn more than before. The things that I had learnt are listed as following: First, it will enhance my programming skills. In this project, the programming language I used is pascal. Although I have been learning it since form three, I found that what I had learnt in the lesson is not sufficient. In order to meet my planning, I have to find out some other skills on the Internet and try to digest it all by my own. Also, debugging is a great experience for me to improve the programming skills as I can discover my own mistakes and solve it. Therefore, I will never make the same mistake again. Second, I can improve my English. Doing this project, I have to type the report in English. I need to explain every step of the project clearly without leading any misunderstanding. Therefore, no matter more or less, my English must have been improved. The benefit is long lasting. Third, I can enhance my presentation skills. In this project, I have to present my program to teachers and classmates. I have to present it with PowerPoint, thus, I can revise the use of PowerPoint and this improved my skills on PowerPoint. Forth, I can improve my problem solving skills. In this project, the report includes

Introduction - Learning Objectives

analysis and implementation; I will learn how to divide a big problem into different parts so I can solve smaller problems easily. Also, during debugging, I have to figure out which parts go wrong and solve it. Therefore, my problem solving skills will be improved a lot. This will be beneficial for my next project soon or late in the future. Fifth, I can be braver. During the presentation, I have to face my teachers and classmates. I present my program to them by using English. That is no easy task. I have to overcome the pressure made by my teachers and classmates. I leave my comfort zone to use a foreign language. I am brave. Sixth, I can increase the knowledge in Internet. Doing the program, I have to search some websites which teach people the skills of pascal. I discover that using Internet can do many things. Also, I find some skills which help me to search things easier. Moreover, I know which search engine is better now. Seventh, I can increase my knowledge in technology. During the process, I have to search some history of OCR. This will build up my mind on OCR. Also, this can broaden my horizon in technology. Since the invention of OCR, there are numerous types of OCR in the world that I could never dream of. Last, I am more interested in technology and computer. As computer can do many things for us and brings lots of convenience, I will be more interested in computer to find out more benefit of it and make my life become easier. I am interested in technology now. I

Introduction - Learning Objectives

become more interested in comparing the difference between two different brands of electric appliances like mobile phone, computer, printer, etc. to figure out the strengths and weaknesses between them. I really get lots of experiences and benefit from this project. Doing this project is no easy task for me, but I finished it at last.

Analysis - Choice of Language

As the technology has improved a lot, there are many different types of programming language and their attributes are different. Different attributes such as speed, size, compatibility, etc. of programming language cause a big difference in your program as some programming languages may not be able to do some tasks. Therefore, choosing a suitable programming language is extremely important and essential before the program is developed. Â&#x201E;

Choice of language After analysis, I prefer choosing Pascal to other programming languages for my

project. Also, I have found some information about Pascal on the Internet. According to Wikipedia:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pascal has its roots in the Algol 60 language, but also introduced concepts and mechanisms which (on top of Algol's scalars and arrays) enabled programmers to define their own complex (structured) datatypes, and also made it easier to build dynamic and recursive data structures such as lists, trees and graphs. Important features included for this were records, enumerations, subranges, dynamically allocated variables with associated pointers, and sets. To make this possible and meaningful, Pascal has a strong typing on all objects, which means that one type of data cannot be converted or interpreted as another without explicit conversions. Similar mechanisms are standard in many programming languages today.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, Pascal is suitable to use in this because the features and function of pascal can fulfill the requirement of the program in the project.

Analysis - Rationale of choosing language

In this part, I would like to compare a number of programming languages about their strengths and weaknesses so as to find out a suitable language in this project. 1. Pascal z

Strengths of Pascal Pascal is easy to use and understand. Therefore, it is easy for user to debug. Moreover, the excute speed is fast enough to handle the program. Pascal has a very high compatibility as the compiled excutable file can be run on most platform. Also, the program can be very user-friendly as the layout of the program can not be very complicated. In addition, Pascal is a free ware, people can access to the official website and download it with no charge.

Weaknesses of Pascal The storage capacity of Pascal is smaller compare with the other programming languages. For example, the range of integer is only ranged from -32767 to 32768. Therefore, a larger number cannot be calculated.

2. PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) z

Strengths of PHP User of PHP does not need to download excludable program as it is run on server. Also, the program is run on the server through Internet, thus, this provides an interactive act. Moreover, the webpage layout is depended on the

Analysis - Rationale of choosing language

design so the interface is user friendly. In addition, PHP is an open source program. Thus, we do not need to pay before using it. Last but not least, the compatiblity is high because the users only receive webpages. Therefore, the program can be used in most platforms and OS such as Window, Linux and Mac OS. z

Weaknesses of PHP This program must need the setup of server to compile. If the server is down, the program cannot be used. Moreover, it is really unconvenient that everytime the user wants to use it, he needs to connect to the Internet and have browsers to run the program. If the network is not accessable, he cannot use the program also. The stability of the program is depended on the server. Therefore, when the server is overloaded, the stability is a question.

3. Java z

Strengths of Java People can access to the Internet to its official website and download the development kit to develop Java program as Java is an open source programming language.

Weaknesses of Java A higher requirement of computer is needed for running the Java program.

Analysis - Rationale of choosing language

Also, before running a Java program, the user has to install the Java platform for the Java program to run. 4. C++ z

Strength of C++ The strength of C++ is that the requirement of the computer is low for running a compiled executed file of C++. Therefore, it can be run in most computers and is quite portable. C++ supports both Structured Programming and Object-Oriented Programming. When comparing with the other programming languages, The processing speed of C++ is faster.

Weaknesses of C++ The weaknesses of C++ are most users do not want. It is because programmer needs to PAY before writing the program as most compiler of C++ are not free. Furthermore, the user has to download the program before they can run it and there is less interaction between users.

5. Visual Basic z

Strengths of Visual Basic The most significant strength of Visual Basic is that it is in Graphical User Interface (GUI) . Therefore, the program is user friendly. The code of Visual Basic is easy to understand so it is more easy for programmer to debug.

Analysis - Rationale of choosing language

Weaknesses of Viusal Basic First, visual basic is a program developed by the Microsoft Co. , therefore , we need to purchase the software before we can use it. Users may not be willing to use it. Moreover, some extensions drivers have to be installed to use the functions of the program as its file size is quite large. If the user do not install the extensions delivers, the program may not be run. Furthermore, the program can only be run in Window environment.

From the above information, a table can be drawn for easier and clear comparison: Pascal

Analysis - Rationale of choosing language

Conclusion: After comparing with the other programming languages, Pascal has lots of advantages. Although Pascal is not the best in each comparison, it does better in average. The product of the programming languages does not affect my choice. Thus, I just left it behind. Pascal is not Graphical User Interface(GUI) so it is a disadvantage. However, it is not a big deal. Pascal, C++ and Visual Basic are not open source while PHP and Java are. Nevertheless, when I look at category that is it a free ware, Pascal can still take a place as it is a free aware. Money is my first concern. When I look at the compatibly, pascal is not that bad. It is better than PHP as PHP is not stable. It comes to the important part, the easiness of writing the program. Pascal is the easiest among the three free wares. Therefore, Pascal is used by me at last. The above conclusion can be express clearly and be easier to understand by drawing a flow chart.

Design - Operation rules

For inputting file pathway The format should be at this way “drive:\filename\” For example: C:\coursework\ Remember that all the filenames should be in English. If the pathway of file is not correct, the window will be closed.

To Control the menu Users can only use the arrow key ↑and↓to control the movement of the pointer so as to choice the item they want by pressing Enter key only.

For the input of search by name Remember all the input of student names should be capital latter. For example: CHAN TAI MAN

For the input of search by id and ranking Remember that all student id and ranking should be within the total number of students while that of school id should be within the total number of school.

5. For filtering Users can choose filtering the data by sex, age, school, mark and ranking. They can filter the data out by inputting the desire condition For example: if he wants to find out all the students’ result from one school, they can filter by inputting the school no.

Design - Operation rules

The filtering function is different from the searching function because filtering can find out all the data from a wide range of condition but searching is only for finding out one specific entry. 6. Output of report The report will be outputted in the same directory of the exe file. And the output is a text file named â&#x20AC;&#x153;report.txtâ&#x20AC;?.

Fig8. The menu of filtering entry

Description: After the user choosing filtering entry. The menu and the function of filtering entries are more less the same to the searching entry. User can filter data by their sex, age, school, mark and ranking. If the user input M in the filter by sex, then all the male data will be shown without showing any entries from female. This function is more useful than searching when doing analysis as we can see the difference between groups of candidates. Moreover, filtering data can let us find the party which can satisfy some special condition but searching is just finding out the desire one.

Discussion and Conclusion - Discussion

To write this program, I spent near 35 hours. I am quite satisfied with my program as there is no error exists. Also, the functions can work well and associate together. However, it is not perfect. Thus, other than the strengths, there aare also some weaknesses. In this part, I am going to list out the strengths and weaknesses of my program. 1.

strengths of the program First, the program is organized well. The functions of the program are written separately in different modules and then combined together to form a main program. As each module only does few small jobs, thus, it is easier to modify it. Furthermore, the main program is well-designed that it allows adding new functions freely. Therefore, whenever I want, I can add some new functions to it conveniently without changing the core part. Second, its file size is very small. The size of the program is 49.5 KB. The total size of data files is only 7.96KB. Therefore, the total size of all files does not exceed 60KB. This is convenient that the whole program can be saved in even a floppy disk. Third, the processing speed of the program is really fast that there is no delay and waiting time. This is simply because there is no calculation needs to be worked out in the program.

101

Discussion and Conclusion - Discussion

Forth, the program needs a low requirement of computer only. As the program can be run in most platforms. Also, it is because the small file size requires a little RAM only. Even the computer, which is old-model, can run the program. Fifth, the program has lots of function that the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program may not have. For example, the filter function which allows user to separate the data that he wants from he does not want and a function can output a report of the analysis which is text file and printable. These functions provide lots of convenience to the user. Sixth, the program is reusable, that means the program can run correctly with different set of data files. If the data is in the correct format, calculation, ranking, searching, and reporting can also function no matter how many entries are inside the file. This is very important as we can use the same program again when there is another competition. Seventh, the structure of the database is very well designed. Data can be added and edited easily in the data file. It is because the whole database is spitted into different text file which store different kinds of information and the key filed of each entry is the identifier in different text file. Eighth, the programming language is very readable, therefore, debugging

work and maintaining work is easy to do. Moreover, the program is easy enough for other programmers to develop and add more function on it. Last, the layout of the program is very user-friendly. Users use only the arrow keys and enter key can control all the instructions. And all of the instrctions of the program is clearly displayed , thus, it is very easy for user to understand and use it. 2.

Weaknesses of the program When searching the entry by student name, all the letters should be capital letter. Whenever the user search or filter entry, the input should be the correct variable type such as string for name, integer for mark, ranking and id. If the input does not match the required variable type, the program will suspended. When editing the answer of entry, the user has to type all the answers of the entry once by himself. If he just wants to correct one of the answer, this will cause a great inconvenience.

Besides the above weaknesses, my program can still be improved in order to make it perfect. 3.

Suggested improvements: First, the program can have more beautiful layout as this one cannot be classified as beautiful. A beautiful layout is important that it can attract people to use it. Everyone likes beautiful things. Second, some operation rules can be written on the program so that the user can avoid these and the caused inconveniences can be reduced. Last, the letters of the program can be larger. As the size of the letter now is not big enough. Some may think that it is difficult to see.

Discussion and Conclusion - Conclusion

The program has been finished. Pleasantly, there are no errors in my program. All the task objectives are achieved. My program gives lots of conveniences to user. First, the user just press â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and all the things are done by the program unless the user wants to search, edit and filter entry. Second, bar charts of my program allow user to figure out the position of each participants quickly and easily. Third, the program has a function to output a report in the form of text file. This provides a convenience for user as he does not need to create one by himself. Forth, the search function is also available in my program which allows user to find entry easily and rapidly. Fifth, the filter function is special that the user can read the data which satisfies his requirements. Last, the edit function helps user the change data quickly as he does not need to find out the data of specific entry in a numerous of data. Other than the task objectives, all the learning objectives are reached also. First, I learnt my skills of pascal on the Internet such as delay, drawing charts, making text file, making menu etc. Second, my English has been improved a lot since I have practiced a lot with various of sentence structures and learnt lots of vocabulary items. Moreover, the pronunciation is also improved during presentation as my classmates corrected me. Third, my presentation skills are improved. My voice intensity is loud enough so everyone can hear me clearly. Also,

Discussion and Conclusion - Conclusion

the speed is medium. Forth, my problem solving skills are improved. When I faced questions, I would try to solve it by myself first. If the problem could not be solved, I would seek for help. Also, I know I can break a big problem into small pieces now. Small problem is always easier to solve. Fifth, I become braver. I am not that afraid of speaking in front of people now. At least better than before. Sixth, I have increased my knowledge in technology and Internet when I searched information on the Internet. I found there were many technology products which was I never knew. Last, I increased my interest in both technology and Internet. As there were many things I did not know and which were new. I am interested in studying on them.
