An understanding of key programme design and development constructs underpinning computer programming, such as sequence, loops and selection.

This assignment will assess the following module learning outcomes:

  1. An understanding of key programme design and development constructs underpinning computer programming, such as sequence, loops and selection.
  2. Knowledge of the fundamental principles of high level programming language, and to be able to apply these principles to practical programming problems to produce workable user-friendly software applications.

Question 1

You are required to design and develop a basic mortgage calculator using Visual Basic (VB). It should contain a form with fields similar to the image below: 

  • Please note, you are not restricted to using the above example layout showing the screenshot of the Visual basic controls. You have complete freedom to design the user interface as you see fit to match the requirements.
  • You could use Visual Basic (VB) select case statement or if else statement to implement the above programme.
