Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a particular form of cheating. Plagiarism must be avoided at all costs and students who break the
rules, however innocently, may be penalised. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand correct
referencing practices. As a university level student, you are expected to use appropriate references throughout
and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of materials for material you have used in your work, including
any material downloaded from the Internet. Please consult the relevant unit lecturer or your course tutor if you
need any further advice.

Assignment Brief and Guidance
You are a senior software engineer who working for a reputed software company. You have been requested by the
company management to demonstrate the basic concept behind programming for the set of staffs those who
having no knowledge about programming. The client who is the CEO of his company wanted to educate their staffs
about actual things happening behind the software companies.
The project assigned to you includes the explanation about the basic programming, programming concepts, what
algorithm is and the purpose with examples, how those concepts and methods are related on the process of
developing an application up to implementation.
Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of
programming an application.

Assignment Brief and Guidance
You have just completed orientation training program for newly recruited staff, by having a discussion with
them you identified that they having less knowledge in programming paradigms. So, your team lead wanted
you to explain the programming paradigms by covering below criteria with professionally designed report.
The advantages and disadvantages of using different programming language approaches.
• You will need to create a report covering findings from research into the characteristics of different
programming paradigms – procedural, object-orientated and event-driven programming, so that the
new staff will have batter understanding about the paradigms.
You must also explain the different IDE's that are used in the development environment with comparison,
you suppose to compare at least 3 IDE's with the specification, common features, uniqueness, drawbacks (If
any) and etc. by providing evidence to each and every points that you mention which will help programmers
to select most suitable IDE among all depending on the programming language that they use.

You should produce a report that analyse the common features that a developer
has access to in an IDE by describing the most popular IDEs and their features, this
may not be specific to a programming language

In this report include code that will critically evaluate the implementation of the
programming paradigms, in terms of the code structure and characteristics. It is
recommended to write the same functionality in different paradigms to show how
each paradigm solves the problem and implements algorithm
