Software report - schoolwork

[ivrytwr3]

Son has his GCSEs coming up - programming with Python etc and they are currently doing a 20hr project involving RLE (wasn't aware of RLE!)

As well as the working software they have to produce a report on what the program is/does etc and some tech breakdown.

Any links to any similar types of software report i can show him so he has an idea of what is required.

RLE? Run-length encoding?

That's what i got from Google!

That's interesting - but way above my head! I'll show the thyread to him and hope he knows what you're on about

But what about an example actual report?

I've managed to grab an example assessment paper from a different school and the task is:

• Input and store customer details
• input and store customer booking details
• check if a customer can have a discount
• calculate and store the cost of booking
• display customer booking details

Once the application is written, they are too:

"produce a report that includes the task objectives, your report should be about 2000 words"

Does anyone have any examples of this type of report/essay i can show him?

yeah, i get that, i was just looking for an example. I can write essays/reports, i was looking for structures etc, hence why an example would be useful.

Lad said they are doing the whole process methodically - currently doing the task based stuff and the report writing will come later.

Would have been interesting to see some examples of real time reports though - more information the better.
