Nat 5 computing assignment help !

Hi guys I just started my Nat 5 computing assignment like 1 week ago and it’s actually quite OKAY….

but I am a bit stuck on the SDD. my code works fine but it wants us to print the array (stored snowfall measurements) but I don’t see where it asked for a fixed loop so I can print the array?!? I don’t know what to do 😭!

I’m not sure if just to leave it like an array like this: [5.6, 2.0, 1.3]. So pls anyone doing it who is python writer pls tell me how u done it 😭😭😭😭😭

And for database (DDD) im nearly done. I’m on the last bit where i have to say the 2 reasons on how to fix the query but is those brackets supposed to be there? I’ve never seen brackets on a SQL statement. For my 2 reasons I’m going to write how there is no equi join and that you need to do DESC instead of ASC.

Anyone if you can give me your thoughts I will be grateful 🙏

Thank you for the tag Jasmin :smile:

Hello Moose,
For SDD, a very similar thing happened to me in my nat5 computing assignment, and I asked my teacher about it after it was finished, he said it was right to assume to use a fixed loop. Its always annoying to work out what the sqa want you to do, but im pretty certain they would want you to print it using a fixed loop without the brackets.

for DDD, im afraid my knowledge is very rusty after two years, and im not sure what the question is since I dont know your assignment or the question, but I think the two answers you said sound reasonable, I doubt it would be something about brackets but then again I dont know what the question is.

Good luck with your assignment! sounds like you're already smashing it tbh

Thanks for the help!!! I did manage to figure out my problem though :smile: you were right, i did need to use a fixed loop , the structural diagram did not clearly say to use a loop as it said to display it as it was in the program description but to do that i needed to use a fixed loop. thanks sooo much!! i just get stressed out because my teacher says to always follow what the sqa tells you to, so when they write it weirdly i get nervous

And for the DDD , i also managed to figure the 2 problems with it :smile: Thanks alot for taking the time out your day to respond 😊
