what part do u find difficult

 

[Gimmick]

I've decided to create a separate thread specifically for notes, where things can be a little more organized
To reduce the incidence of posts for help I've created a poll to find out which topics are the hardest so I can try and address them (I am not very good in publishing and data/time management with ICT)

PART 2

11 ) System Life Cycles: These are somewhat straightforward for me, but I don't know about you so I'll list everything I can think of

i) There are 5 phases: Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Evaluation​

In general 5 and your order is kinda wrong but actually, it goes like this,

(i) Feasibility study
(ii) Analysis
(iii) Design
(iv) Development and Testing and then,
(v) Implementation
(vi) Documentation and
(vii) Evaluation

Hi can someone please help me by explaining to me how we use terminators, processes, flow arrows and stores in a data flow diagram and if they give me a scenario in the exam how will i know what part is the terminators, processes, flow arrows and stores. Thank you

basically seeing the data flow diagrams it helps us to identify inputs and output devices needed. also we can use the arrows to show how much data is transferred and the size of memory needed. terminators are basically the people who contribute but outside the system for example customers... stores is simply where the data is stored

I also have another question, from the November 2011 paper there was this question about
the role of microprocessor in monitoring and controlling the
temperature of the refrigerator, and i didn't really understand the
answer in the mark-scheme when they said compare pressure sensor with
(Zero). Can you please explain it to me and i have copied the part of
the answer of the mark-scheme below.
microprocessor compares data from pressure sensor with zero/checks
contact switch
if it is zero/contact broken microprocessor sends a signal to the actuator
if it is zero/contact broken actuator/microprocessor switches the buzzer on
Thank you

Pressure sensor would normally be put on one corner on the frame of refrigerator. When the door of refrigerator closes, it will hit the frame and hits the pressure sensor so there is pressure buiod up on the sensor. when door is opened, there is no longer pressure on the sensor thus its *zero*. when door opens buzzer goes on.
same thing happens with contact switch...i dunni if you noticed this....but
when we were all little we used to open the refrigerator slowly to see when will the LED (light) turn on inside it. Atthe point where it lights, it means the contact from the door and contact switch is broken. when u close it slowly (the door) the light turn off at a point, that is when the door has come in contact with the contact sensor ! ihope this help u to understand
