Worked examples

Start with worked Grade 10 examples

These original examples introduce selected ICS2O expectations. The full expectation map is not a complete set of published written lessons or a substitute for official course materials and assignments. The strand-prefixed labels below identify the matching Ontario specific expectations; titles are concise study-guide paraphrases.

1. Trace a two-choice program

A program prints “ready” when a score is at least 10, otherwise “practise”. What happens for 8?

Worked method: Eight is below ten, so the condition is false and the second message is selected. Label both flowchart branches.

فارسی · توضیح مثال

برنامه اگر امتیاز دست‌کم ۱۰ باشد «ready» و در غیر این صورت «practise» چاپ می‌کند. برای ۸ چه می‌شود؟ ۸ کمتر از ۱۰ است؛ شرط نادرست می‌شود و پیام دوم انتخاب می‌شود. هر دو شاخه روندنما را برچسب بزنید.

2. Follow information through a home network

A laptop sends a request through a home Wi-Fi router to a website. Which device connects the local laptop to the wider network?

Worked method: The router joins the local network to the upstream connection. A diagram should keep laptop, router and internet distinct.

فارسی · توضیح مثال

لپ‌تاپ از راه روتر وای‌فای خانگی به وبگاه درخواست می‌فرستد. کدام دستگاه لپ‌تاپ محلی را به شبکه گسترده‌تر وصل می‌کند؟ روتر شبکه محلی را به اتصال بیرونی پیوند می‌دهد. شکل باید لپ‌تاپ، روتر و اینترنت را جدا نشان دهد.

Try independently, then check

Write your own solution before opening each answer. If a step is unclear, review the matching expectation or a Grade 9 prerequisite.

Practice 1

In an input–process–output chart, where does a computed total belong?

Show worked answer

The total is an output; the arithmetic used to obtain it is the process.

فارسی · تمرین و پاسخ

در جدول ورودی–پردازش–خروجی، جمع محاسبه‌شده در کدام بخش قرار می‌گیرد؟ جمع یک خروجی است و محاسبه‌ای که آن را می‌سازد بخش پردازش است.

Practice 2

Why test a decision at its boundary value?

Show worked answer

It reveals whether equality belongs on the intended branch.

فارسی · تمرین و پاسخ

چرا باید یک شرط را در مقدار مرزی آزمود؟ روشن می‌کند که برابری در شاخه مورد نظر قرار می‌گیرد یا نه.

Scientific investigation processes across expectations

These processes are practised throughout the course, rather than listed as separate lessons.

  • Name input, process and output before writing beginner code (پیش از کدنویسی مقدماتی، ورودی، پردازش و خروجی را نام ببرید)
  • Compare a traced program result with the stated task and one boundary case (نتیجه ردیابی برنامه را با مسئله و یک حالت مرزی مقایسه کنید)

Sources and editorial process

Curriculum-aligned and reviewed before publication

This independent study guide follows the official course source. It is not an official government, school, or university publication.

Lessons may be AI-assisted or editorially prepared. Published content is checked for structure, notation, calculations, course boundaries, and readability before release. Because corrections can still be necessary, readers can report a problem.
