Question 1- Presentation

Create a presentation to answer the following questions:

Add screenshot(s) of the slide(s) related to each question

1- Define an Object in Swift? Explain about an object’s properties and methods.

An object in Swift is a value type that complies with a protocol, or an instance of a class.

An object's properties are its variables or constants that hold data. They serve as a
representation of the qualities or features of the thing.

Functions linked to a specific type, class, or instance are called methods. They specify the type
of behavior or acts that an object is capable of.
.

[This provides evidence for PC5.1]

2- Provide an example of an object with suitable properties and methods, as per the following:

a. Write swift code to create the object (types).

b. Create instance of the object.
c. Use variables to access the properties & methods.

Question 3- Programming

1- What is the meaning of the term Constant in Swift playgrounds?

an unchangeable value stored in a name container

2- Which of the following is the BEST example of an instance using a METHOD?

a. pinkPortal.isActive = True
b. expert.color = moveForward
c. pinkPortal.isActive = False
d. expert.moveForward( )

Question 4- Programming

1- Answer the following with True or False:

a. Initialization is the act of creating a new instance of a type, which includes setting initial

values for any properties of the type. (True )

b. The following moveForward.Character() is the correct swift playground statement that is

used to make the instance character to move forward. (False )

Question 5- Computational Thinking

1- Complete the below diagram with the four key Computational Thinking processes:
 [This provides evidence for GC6.1]

2- Decomposition involves breaking down a complex problem into smaller parts that are more
manageable and easier to understand. For example, to decompose the problem of how to brush
our teeth, we would need to consider:

 which toothbrush to use?

 how long to brush for?
 how hard to press on our teeth?
 what toothpaste to use?

You are asked to create an app, which is a complex problem, as there are lots of things to consider.

How would you decompose the task of creating an app?

 what your graphics will look like

 what audio you will include
 what software you will use to build your app
 what your graphics will look like
 what audio you will include
 what software you will use to build your app
 how the user will navigate your app
 how you will test your app


3- What is meant by Algorithmic Thinking? Explain briefly how algorithms operate to solve
problems and perform tasks.

Algorithmic reasoning is derived from coding and computer science. By developing a sequence of methodical,
logical procedures that process a certain set of inputs and generate a predetermined set of outputs depending
on them, this methodology automates the problem-solving process..

[This provides evidence for GC6.3]

1- Write an initial Algorithm to detect overspeed cars by the radar camera, and report the
violence to the traffic system. Think about all details should be included in the notification
report ( the car plate num, location, date, time, speed…..

Algorithm: Overspeed Detection

. Start
2. Initialize camera system and traffic system
3. Capture video feed from radar camera
4. Loop over each frame in the video feed
a. Detect and track moving vehicles in the frame
b. For each detected vehicle:
i. Calculate the speed based on distance traveled and time elapsed
ii. Check if the calculated speed exceeds the speed limit
iii. If overspeeding, generate a notification report:
- Car plate number
- Location (GPS coordinates or intersection details)
- Date and time of the violation
- Detected speed
Algorithm: Efficient Overspeed Detection

. Start
2. Initialize camera system and traffic system
3. Capture video feed from radar camera
4. Loop over each frame in the video feed
a. Detect and track moving vehicles in the frame
b. For each detected vehicle:
i. Calculate the speed based on distance traveled and time elapsed
ii. Check if the calculated speed exceeds the speed limit
iii. If overspeeding, generate a notification report:
- Car plate number
- Location (GPS coordinates or intersection details)
- Date and time of the violation
- Detected speed

Efficiency Improvements:

Asynchronous report generation: By transmitting notification reports to the traffic system in an asynchronous
manner, you can free up time for the algorithm to process frames without having to wait for the report to be
transmitted.
