    This document outlines key programming concepts including variables, data types, input/output, selection/iteration statements, procedures/functions, and creating maintainable code. It defines procedures as reusable blocks of code that can be called with parameters, and functions as reusable blocks that return a value. Global variables can be accessed anywhere, while local variables are only accessible within their scope. Comments, meaningful names, and modularity help make code readable and maintainable.

    8.

    1 Programming Concept
    1. Declare and use variable and constants
    2. Understand and use the basic data types, including integer, real, char, string, boolean
    3. Understand and use input and output
    4. (a) Understand and use the concept of sequence
    (b) Understand and use the concept of selection, including IF/CASE statements
    © Understand and use the concept of iteration, including count-controlled loop, pre-
    condition loop, post-condition loop
    (d) Understand and use the concepts of totaling and counting
    (e) Understand and use the concept of string handling. Including length, substring, upper,
    lower, the first character of a string can be zero or one
    (f) Understand and use arithmetic, logical, and Boolean operators
    5. Understand and use nested 嵌套 statements
    6. (a) Understand what is meant by procedures, functions, and parameters

    Procedure - A set of programming instructions


    - grouped together under a single name
    - that can be called multiple times
    Functions - A set of programming instructions
    - grouped together under a single name
    - that can be called multiple times
    - return a value back to the main program
    Parameters A variable that stores the value of arguments passed to the procedure or
    functions.
    Arguments Actual value passed to the procedure or function
    Header The first statement in the definition:
    - the name of procedure or function
    - any parameter passed to the procedure or function, and their data
    type
    - the data type of the return value of the function

    (b) Define and use procedures and functions, with or without parameters
    (c) Understand and use local and global variables
    Global Variable Can be used any part of the program
    Local Variable Can be used only in the part of the program
    it is declared in.
    - if a local variable is used outside of
    its score, an ‘undefined error’ will
    occur.
    Scope (可用范围) Where it can be used

    7. Understand and use library routines, including MOD, DIV, ROUND, RANDOM

    8. Understand how to create a maintainable program, including appropriate use of


    meaningful identifier, the commenting feature provided by the programming language,
    procedures and functions, relevant and appropriating commenting of syntax
    Meaningful identifier - used in
    variables/constants/arrays/procedures
    and functions
    Use of procedures and functions Divide each task into modules
    Commenting Readable code
    Easier to maintain
    Clear documentation
    PROCEDURE f(num1, num2, num3)
    IF num1 > num2 AND num1 > num3
    OUTPUT num1
    ELSE IF num2 …

    FUNCTION f(str1:STRING, str2:STRING) RETURNS STRING


    DECLARE str3: STRING
    Str3 <- SUBSTRING(str1, 1, 3) & SUBSTRING(str2, 1, 3)
    RETURN str3
    ENDFUNCTION
