Task Outline

• Due Date: To be announced.
• Total Points: 10
• Write the written responses which identifies the purpose of your program, and describes the various features of your program.

Write the Written Responses for your Software Application

• Provide answers to each of the following response prompts, starting at question 2a and finishing with question 2d. Make sure each of your responses are clearly labelled with the designators 2a to 2d, in order.
• Your written responses must be submitted in a .pdf file format.
• Note: I will be referring to section 3, which you will complete in Create Task 5. In section 3, you will capture and paste your entire program code. Also, in section 3, you will mark your algorithm code segment with an oval, and your abstraction code segment with a rectangle.

Written Response Prompts

2a. Provide a written response about your video which does the following:

• Identify the programming language.
• Identify the purpose of your program.
• Explain what the video illustrates.
• [Must not exceed 150 words]

2b. Describe the incremental and iterative development process of your program, focusing on two distinct points in that process.

• Describe the difficulties and/or opportunities that you encountered, and how they were resolved, or incorporated.
• In your description, clearly indicate whether the development process you described was collaborative or independent.
• At least one of these points must refer to independent program development.
• [Must not exceed 200 words]

2c. Capture and paste a program code segment that implements an algorithm(marked with an oval in section 3), that is fundamental for your program to achieve its intended purpose.

• You may use any standard screenshot software application to capture this code segment as an image, and then paste it into your file.
• This code segment must be an algorithm that:
  • You developed individually on your own.
  • It must include two or more other algorithms.
  • It must implement mathematical and/or logical concepts.
• Describe how each algorithm within your selected algorithm functions independently, as well as in combination with others, to form a new algorithm that helps to achieve the intended purpose of the program.
• [Must not exceed 200 words]

2d. Capture and paste a program code segment that contains an abstraction that you developed individually on your own(marked with a rectangle in section 3). This abstraction must implement mathematical and logical concepts.

• You may use any standard screenshot software application to capture this code segment as an image, and then paste it into your file.
• Explain how your abstraction helped manage the complexity of your program.
• [Must not exceed 200 words]

Submission

• Submit your .pdf file by uploading it to the AP Digital Porfolio platform.
• Click on the Create tab on the left-hand navigation menu. Then, select the Individual Written Responses link. You should see the following webpage appear, which contains the Upload New button. Click on this button, and select the file you wish to upload.
• At this point, the webpage indicates that your file has successfully uploaded.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT CLICK ON THE Submit Final BUTTON.
• I need to inspect your submissions and ensure that they are complete. Once I am satisfied that your Create Task meets all of AP's requirements, then we can formally submit your work for official AP grading.
