damn, you're doing those too? damn! i though i was a loner, ah well,!

Yeah, ICT2621 is easy, but I'm behind on ICT2622 with the pretty pictures. Going to have to concentrate seriously on this one. As a heads up, learn how to write (and draw) stuff by hand as no computers in the exam.

My worst exam was 2yrs back, COS111, where I had to do a basic C++ app and struggled to write the code by hand. Took me 30minutes to do a basic hello world.

@cbrunsdonza

Are ICT2621/2 using the same book, or has that changed now?

^-^same book: Systems analysis and design in a changing world, 5th edition.

how do i submit the INF assignment, screen shots of the code and of the interface, or the code itself + screen shot of the interface, or just the interface?

I did a cut 'n paste of the code, and then screenshots of the UI as per their requirements.

Not 100% sure if I supplied the correct ones (object Tree). Its seems that for Q3 you need to supply a screenshot of your actual AP in progress, where in Q1 you supply just a screenshot of the form designer.

Guys, please correct me if you feel I'm wrong. We are here to help.

I did a screen shotof the object tree from all three question and a also a screen shot of UI at design time for Q 1 and 2 and run time for Q3 (as asked).
I copied and pasted the code requested and formated to courier, so nesting and indenting are shown correctly.

In question 2, they also mentioned the randomize function must be in the forms OnShow event, but they did not ask it as a question. So how they to know you did this? So I also copied this procedure with the UI and objects screen shots.

may I ask for help with regard to this question 2.7 & 2.8
I have not got a grasp of the topic yet and time's hammering me down with ICT2621/2 and FAC1601 breathing down my neck.

Question 2.7 user can only add 5 names, the constant and disabling the two buttons?

2.7) Just do a check after each name added to make sure you have not reached the count. If you have reached the count then disable the button.

I also added a check to make sure the name added was not blank - habit.

2.8) You need to randomise your rand generator!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would just moving on with ICT262{1,2} as its more time consuming. You can always come back to Delphi next week.

Umm, The buttons are disabled before adding names. When there is at least one name then you enable the buttons.

That is the way I understand it.

This is how far i've managed to go:-


procedure TForm1.btnAddNamesClick(Sender: TObject);
const maxbookings = 5;
var
stadium: string;
NoOfStadiums: integer;
begin
stadium := InputBox('FIFA Stadium', 'Please enter the name of the stadium:', '';
lstStadiums.Items.Add(stadium);
end;
end.

(what else do you code afterwards coz anything i try raises an error. what have i done wrong in the code so far)

@aviwe.
There is nothing wrong with that code?

What are you trying that raises an error?

Also, because a max of 5 stadia must be entered, you need to check how many you have already before using the inputbox in case there are five already entered.

Sorry, your right. You need to enable the button after the first entry has been added. Can see my brain has moved on to other modules

Hey guys!!!

I am stuck on the 2.7 & 2.8 parts of the assignment.

My code works for 2.7 & everything but how am i meant to limit it to 5 inputs?

My code also does everything its meant to for 2.8 but how are u meant to work out the total cost from the random numbers generated? It keeps telling me that it cant convert the string into integer cause its not compatable.

Help!!

gooi your code here and let us have a go at it,

Language: Delphi
begin
//make sure you gooi it like this;
{so we can have a go at it};

Use a constant (remember) and before each input, check the count of your list. If your list has fewer than 5 items, then proceed with the input box, if its already five (or more?) then do nothing.

IntToStr

Remember this and type it out a hundred times. I suspect that we will get this in our exams as its use pops up too often during this module.

Ex 7.2 step 5 can be used as a basic structure for the answer.

Hi Guys

Please help!

Im having trouble with converting the values from sedScore1 to string in lblResult?

...
begin
Score1 := sedScore1.Value;
Score2 := sedScore2.Value;
if Score1 > Score2 then
begin
lblResult.Caption := edtTeamName1.Text + ' beat ' + edtTeamName2.Text + InToStr(sedScore1.Value) ...

Thanks
