Q:You have just taken a new job as a programmer in the weather department for a TV station. You are going to draw a little picture (an icon really) on the screen telling people how to dress for the week. Every Sunday, you will get the daily temperatures for the week. Write a program to generate the icons.
1. Describe the process you would go through to write a program to write thei picture-generating program. As always, make sure you follow the steps in the program development process.
2. Have about half the team members design the program using pseudocode. This can either be for the original program, or after you add the enhancements as explained in Step 5 below.
3. Check your pseudocode by having the non-pseudocode-writing members of the team perform a desk check on it. Explain what went on during the process. As above, this can be a journal or minutes.
4. Highlight any control structures you used in the program. You can avoid highlighting the “sequence” control structure, as that’s almost your entire program!
5. The main weather person, who asked you to write the program, takes a new job at a TV station across the country and a new weather person comes on board. Explain what you might expect to do to maintain the program in light of your new boss.
6. Because of your fine work with the weather icons, you get promoted to manager of software operations. As you see your programming career evolving into a management career, you review the program looking for ways that readability can be improved. Explain some things you find in your program that show poor readability and the changes you then make to increase readability.
