Programming Retrieval Task

The document outlines a programming retrieval task that includes questions on programming theory, such as the definition of variables, the difference between selection and iteration, and data types. It also provides a programming task where a VB.Net program must be created to perform basic arithmetic operations on two user-input numbers. The program should display the results clearly for the user.

Starter -> ‘Do now’ ‘Programming’ retrieval task

Task 1 – Programming Theory


Answer the following questions:
 What is a variable and why do we use them in programs? A value which stores data.
 What is the difference between selection and iteration? Selection is where commands are executed if a
condition is met, but an iteration is where commands are executed for a specific amount of lopps
 Write down an example of an IF statement in pseudocode.
If age < 18 then
[Link](“You are an adult!”)
End If
 What is the difference between integer and string data types? Integer stores whole numbers and strings can
store numbers,characters and symbols
 What does it mean when we say a program should have validation?
It should validate all responses giving the correct response without any errors.

Part 2 – Programming Task (New project: Maths Task)

Write a [Link] program that:

 Asks the user to enter two numbers.


 Calculates and outputs the sum, difference, product, and quotient of the numbers.
 Displays the results clearly, e.g.:
o Enter first number: 8
o Enter second number: 4
o The sum is: 12
o The difference is: 4
o The product is: 32
o The quotient is: 2
