I don't have much experience with Pascal, but it should be more than good enough to do all the stuff you need. Anyways, something has arisen in the form of a party, and I shall check this thread in the morning. Best of luck!

How you should implement a search and/or sort depends on how they're stored, but it's most likely that they are in a multi-dimensional array. *IF* that is the case, you should take a search term as input, and you will have some sort of counted loop going through each field of the array. The...

If you haven't done reading from a file, I wouldn't worry about it. It can possibly be complicated and annoying, depending on what language you use. Just hard-code all that stuff instead, you won't get marked down because it's likely you weren't taught anything to replace that. Any brainwaves...

You should make it do whatever you want - but be guided by the question "What would I want from an Olympics app?" Consider things such as a tally of scores by country (nothing simple, just read from a file or whatever), possibly a trivia section ("Eleventeen elephants were killed in the making...

Your mileage may vary, keep it simple stupid. And what does this app do, is it like a timetable thing, or an input-and-sort-and-display results thing, or what? But yeah, it should definitely be sufficient as long as its not completely pointless.

I included none except a bunch of arrays, because we weren't marked on that and I didn't need to. YMMV, but KISS. Elegant code is the best, including stuff just for the hell of it is probably not a good idea, but know them inside out for the exam.

Waiting for O-Week at UNSW (Computer Science). Nothing to do until then, found a house, moved in, figured out how to cook, and write code for the hell of it. Currently doing XHTML/CSS/JavaScript, interspersed with random walks down the street, simply because I have nothing to do until Monday...

Hehe... SDD people are usually at an advantage 'cos most people doing SDD have such a long gap between SDD and everything else... so... make sure you get a good night's sleep before, and don't study too hard the day before. Maybe some light reading of notes, not asking yourself questions. Though...

Yeah, once you have the proposal, go nuts with the code - just don't change the idea, because opne of the criteria will, more than likely, be something along the lines of "Does the project do what it set out to do", so make sure your program fits the description (it can do extra, and this will...

Ooh, easy marking - this means, work as hard as normal, reap the rewards. The project itself doesn't matter - something that opens a text file can get as many marks, theoretically, as a full-on video game (it would have to be a damn good text editor though...) You will be marked on the...

Haha, go nuts with the questions, I have nothing to do all night, I got a 94 for SDD, and I like helping people. The past exams are worth doing, teaching style and internal tests all vary wildly, and it's good to have an exact idea of what to expect in terms of style. And the major project...

It is sort of bland, not deathly dull, just bland. That said, our teacher did all the coursework as quickly as possible, so we spent a tonne of time just writing code, so that bit was excellent. We even watched a movie or two (Pirates of Silicon Valley, some other thing). It all depends on the...

Mildly off topic, but life would be much simpler if a train went somewhere near UNSW :(

My major project was a game of Monopoly, and I did the Software Developer's View of the Hardware as an elective. Unfortunately no notes, as they are at my house, and I moved for Uni :( But advice... I'll be surprised if there isn't a question involving fish, and make sure you know the...

AND YOUR LIZARD SIG IS SO COOL OMG I WANT A LIZARD IN A HAT DRINKING SOMETHING THATS SO AWESUM I also fail to see where the first paragraph comes from. How, specifically, am I retarded? Because I have an old car? Or because only 2 people chose MX2?
