Week 9 Methods | Demonstrate logical problem solving and error detection techniques | Day 41

Welcome to Week 9!

Your content is divided into two segments:

• C# Programming and,
• MICT SETA unit standard outcomes and assessments

In your C# programming component, you will focus on Methods.

Methods are ways that allow you as a programmer to give your code the capability to perform an action. For example, thin of the human body, it is made up of various parts i.e., hands, legs, arms etc. Hands allow you to wave. The concept of waving can be referred to as a method in programming.

A method (waving) is made possible by a property (hand). Without the hand you cannot wave. In C# programming, we make use of the various properties to make our code functional. You will learn this in detail in the next sessions.

In your MICT SETA unit standards you will focus on computer software development. You must be aware now that computer software products e.g., applications such as WhatsApp and Facebook, are created to meet a specific business need. In the case of our examples, this need is to enable communication between “friends” across the world at minimal cost. This is the business value.

You will not simply sit in front of a computer and start coding an application. You need to plan first. You need to have a business specification that you are addressing. All this is covered in detail in the following units.

Enjoy!
