Software Design & Development
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT TASK 4 (INDIVIDUAL PROJECT)
Simulate the operation of a digital clock or watch with a reminder alarm. The clock should be able to display the 'time' in both 12- and 24-hour modes. The time should be able to be set, as should a reminder alarm. The display should simulate the seven segment displays usually found on these devices. There should also be a calendar feature to the clock which can display the date in day-month-year form. It should be able to display any date from 1901 to 2099, including leap years. It should indicate the holidays, Christmas Day, Australia Day, Easter Friday and Easter Sunday.
The coding will be in PASCAL. Create questions and answers for each of the five(5) parts as had been done for the Easter exercise.
