Modular Development (1 Viewer)

Hey,

In our major project, one of the criteria is use of modular development. I've managed to work out that it's outcome H4.3 in the syllabus, but neither the syllabus, or my teacher can explain what it is.

HELP!

Thanks,

it just means to program by using separate modules for different functions / tasks. So in VB for example: you can write a sub. e.g


sub Startmovement1

Timer1.enabled = True

End sub


now this sub can be used anywhere within the program etc, and it will still perform the same function, i.e start timer1 If your teacher didn't know what modular development is then he must be noob.

All programmers today use modular development, as it is quicker and a whole team can work on different parts of the program all at once, by working on different modules and then putting them all together at the end to make a fully functioning program that meets its requirements.

Thanks for that. Thats what we thought. When we did our major project last year (we as in my partner and I), Modular Development was one of the criteria. Our project had numerous different sub-routines, from things like processing inputs, saving xml files and scrambling passwords, but we got a 0 for that section. So we figured that modular development must be something different.
