Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1.7, Problem 1.26CP
Explanation of Solution
Visualize a program running:
Before the programmer creates a program, he should first imagine the process and outcome of the program.
- This will really help the programmer while coding, because they have ideas about the program.
Example:
Consider the example to calculate the “Gross Pay amount”...

- A GUI, or graphical user interface, is "event driven" in software. What does this suggest in such case?arrow_forwardA graphical user interface (also known as a GUI) is meant to be "event driven" when referring to software. Exactly what does this point to, then?arrow_forwardEarly computer systems relied on command line interfaces to perform all actions. Today, the majority of systems use direct manipulation rather than a command line interface. The goal of designing a direct manipulation interface is to make use of the system intuitive to the end user. One industry that has been extremely successful designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is the video game industry. Most game players are able to learn controls as they play a game and then apply the same controls to similar games. Rarely do they need to read a user manual. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: Describe the three (3) principles of direct manipulation and give examples as to how they are used in video game controls. Analyze video game-type interfaces and discuss three (3) reasons why video game-type interfaces would not be effective for real-world applications. Describe at least three (3) advantages of direct manipulation versus…arrow_forward
