Q1: Answer the following questions:
i) What is a User Interface Design? Write Names of any four characteristics of
it?

2
 The City School
The user interface (UI) is the point of human-computer interaction and communication
in a device.
Interface is also a Graphical Layout of an Application. This can include display screens,
keyboards, a mouse and the appearance of a desktop. It is also the way through which a
user interacts with an application or a website. Characteristics of an interface are: Simple,
Responsive, Attractive, Clear, Consistent.
ii) Why designing a Bad user interface is prohibited?

Not only does the bad UI design totally destroy the creativity behind the designers, but
also delivers misunderstanding info to users. All of those will altogether bring users a
sense of confusion, frustration and even anger.
iii) What does term IDE means? Briefly Describe.

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides

comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE
normally consists of at least a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger.
Some IDEs, such as Visual Studio.
iv) What type of Application/program can be built using Visual Studio?

It is used to Develop Computer Programs as well as many different applications

such as Websites, webapps, Mobile Apps, Web Services, Games etc.
v) What properties Window Allow a user to do? Tell Difference between
Name & text property of a control (Button, Label.).

A property windows allow a programmer to change settings of the control as

per requirement.
Text property is used to change Text of the Controls (Button, label etc.)
Name Property is used to Provide the coding access of a specific control
(Button, label).
vi) What do you know about Controls available in Visual Studio (Visual
Basic)? Name Any Five Controls that you are using in your Program.
Forms controls are the components that gives user interface functionality and are used
in client-side Windows applications. A button/label, radiobox, Textbox are all controls,
which is an interactive component that enables users to communicate with an application.

vii) Why variables are important or what function does the variable have?

A variable is nothing but a name given to a storage area that our programs can manipulate.
Each variable in C#/Visual St has a specific type, which determines the size and layout of
the variable's memory.
viii) Give the Difference between Private and Public Variables?

A public member or a public variable is accessible from anywhere but within a program. A
private Variable is restricted to Specific/certain part of the program; you cannot access it
outside that pat of the program.
ix) What is the difference between Mobile App and Website?

Ans: Reference Page no: 85 (E-Book)

x) What are Data types available in Visual Studio? Write Name of any 4
Datatypes.

A data type is an attribute/Format of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the
programmer intends to use the data. In simple words it is the type of data (Numeric, String,
Character) in which programmer/user wants to store the data. Different Data types are Integer,
String, Datetime, object, Decimal, Char.
xi) What are conditional Statements and its function?

Decision Making statements are called Conditional Statements. Conditional

statements help you to make a decision based on certain conditions. Computers have
limited intelligence and they cannot make decision on their own unless we program
them to take a decision.
xii) Why conditional Operators are used in a program.
Conditional operators are used to evaluate/refine a condition that's applied to one or
two Boolean expressions. The result of the evaluation is either true or false.
xiii) What is a program?
A program is a specific set of instruction/ordered operation is
designed/made to perform a specific task.
xiv) Define Function and its types. Why we use Functions in
programming?
Function is a group of Related Statement that can be designed to
perform a specific Task and it is a type of procedure that returns a
value to finish its execution. Function Can be called anywhere In the
Program only by Calling Name of the function defined.

xvi) Define Module & Loops?

Synchronous Errors. Ans: (Ref E-Book Page No: 96)
Imp: Let’s Review Page and Checkpoints given in the Chapter all are important,
please Do not rely only on the Worksheet. Go through the book as well while
preparing for Assessments & Exams. Feel Free to ask Question about this if any
during Revision Classes.
