Class XI (Practical) – C++

Duration: 3 hours
Total Marks: 30

1. Programming in C++ 10

One programming problem in C++ to be developed and tested on Computer during the examination. Marks are allotted on the basis of following:
Logic : 6 Marks
Documentation : 2 Marks
Output presentation : 2 Marks

2. Project Work 06 + 4*

Problems using String, Number, array and structure manipulation

General Guidelines: Initial Requirement, developing an interface for user (it is advised to use text based interface screen), developing logic for playing the game and developing logic for scoring points

  • Memory game: A number guessing game with application of 2 dimensional arrays containing randomly generated numbers in pairs hidden inside boxes.
  • Hollywood/Hangman: A word guessing game
  • Cows ‘N Bulls: A word/number Guessing game
  • Random Number Guessing Game (High\Low)
  • A game to check whether a word does not use any of the forbidden letters
  • Cross‘N knots game: A regular tic-tac –toe game.ORSimilar projects may be undertaken in other domains. (As mentioned in general guidelines for project, given at the end of the curriculum in a group of 2-4 students)

* Collaboration and Presentation of the project

3. Practical File 5+1*

  1. Record of the configuration of computer system used by the student in the computer lab (by exploring inside computer system in the first 2 lab classes).
  2. Must have minimum 20 programs from the topics covered in class XI course.
  • Programs on Control structures
  • Programs on String manipulations
  • Programs on array manipulations (1D & 2D)
  • Programs on structures.

*1 mark is for innovating while developing programmes.

4. Viva Voce 04

Viva will be asked from the syllabus covered in class XI and the project developed by the student(s).
*1 mark is for innovating while developing programme.
