Guide to Project for Supervisors ITECH1400 Fundamentals of Programming CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH1400 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019 v4.docx Page 1 of 3 Assignment 1 – Palindromes and Anagrams Overview In this assignment you will be given a plain file containing a large list of English words from which you must select ones that have particular characteristics Timelines and Expectations Percentage Value of Task: 20% Due: 5 pm Friday the 3rd May (week 7) Minimum time expectation: 20 hours Learning Outcomes Assessed The following course learning outcomes are assessed by completing this assessment: Knowledge: K1. Identify and use the correct syntax of a common programming language. K2. Recall and use typical programming constructs to design and implement simple software solutions. K4. Explain the importance of programming style concepts (documentation, mnemonic names, indentation). Skills: S1. Utilise pseudocode and/or algorithms as a major program design technique. S2. Write and implement a solution algorithm using basic programming constructs. S4. Describe program functionality based on analysis of given program code. Application of knowledge and skills: A1. Develop self-reliance and judgement in adapting algorithms to diverse contexts. A2. Design and write program solutions to identified problems using accepted design constructs. Assessment Details Searching a file for palindromes and anagrams. Given a word list file, English.txt, containing some four hundred thousand words, you are required to search this file to find all possible palindromes and anagrams. CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH1400 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019 v4.docx Page 2 of 3 Part 1: Palindromes – words that read the same either way e.g. radar, civic, level, anna These words can be read from left to right or from right to left with exactly the same result. Part 2: Anagrams – words made from the letters of another word e.g. cineasts ↔ acnestis In this case the word cineast means a person who loves cinema or films so cineasts are people who love films; the word acnestis means a part of the body that you cannot scratch – for example - between your shoulder blades. One word is made from ALL of the letters of the other word – this is important in this assignment. These are just examples – we are not so much interested in the definitions of the words1 only if they are in our list of words. Submission You must supply your program source code files and your documentation as a single zip file named as follows:_.zip e.g. Aravind_ADIGA_30331237 You may supply your word processed documentation in either Microsoft Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice formats only – no proprietary Mac specific formats, please. Assignments will be marked on the basis of fulfilment of the requirements and the quality of the work. In addition to the marking criteria, marks may be deducted for failure to comply with the assignment requirements, including (but not limited to): • Incomplete implementation(s), and • Incomplete submissions (e.g. missing files), and • Poor spelling and grammar. You might be asked to demonstrate and explain your work. Submit your assignment (all program source files plus your word processed document) to the Assignment 1 Upload location on Moodle before the deadline of Friday of week 7 at 5 pm. 1 https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/ https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/ CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH1400 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019 v4.docx Page 3 of 3 Marking Criteria/Rubric Palindromes Item Mark Algorithm in pseudo-code 10 Implementation of algorithm in code 10 Demonstration that code works correctly using representative samples 15 Correct Output and Discussion 10 Anagrams Algorithm in pseudo-code 10 Implementation of algorithm in code 10 Demonstration that code works correctly using representative samples 15 Correct Output and Discussion 10 Report2 10 TOTAL 100 FINAL MARK /20 Feedback Feedback will be provided in lectures and labs as well as on Moodle Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the presentation of the expressed thought or work of another person as though it is one's own without properly acknowledging that person. You must not allow other students to copy your work and must take care to safeguard against this happening.
