🐍 Python Programming Assistant – Competency 9 (Guided Practice)

Aligned with Grade 13 ICT Syllabus: Problem Solving, Algorithms, Python Programming, and Data Structures

🔍 9.1 Problem Solving Process (Steps)

Select a scenario to automatically fill the problem and practice defining the boundaries and planning the solution.

Step 1: Understand the Problem

Step 2: Define Boundaries

Step 3: Plan Solution

📋 9.2 Stepwise Refinement & Structure Charts

Use the selected problem to practice modular design and draw the Structure Chart.

📊 9.3 Algorithmic Approaches

Select an algorithm to view its flowchart steps, pseudocode, and practice the hand trace.

🔄 9.4 Programming Paradigms Comparison

Understand the difference between **Imperative** (how to do it), **Declarative** (what to do), and **Object-Oriented** (data and behavior combined) approaches.

Imperative

# Step-by-step instructions
total = 0
for i in range(1, 6):
    total += i
print(total)

Declarative (SQL-like)

-- What you want, not how
SELECT SUM(value) 
FROM numbers 
WHERE value <= 5;

Object-Oriented

class Calculator:
    def sum_range(self, n):
        return sum(range(1, n+1))

calc = Calculator()
print(calc.sum_range(5))

⚙️ 9.5 Program Translation Process

Source Code (Python)

def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}"

print(greet("Student"))

Compiler vs Interpreter
