Attached is the solution i made to the sample task released by OCR, it has been created using Python (version 3) with the use of the SQLite3 library.
An SQL database was created called students to store the information needed.
The program allows the user to log in and do the following:
1. Enter and store the students details
2. Recall a students details (need ID number)
3. Show all students
4. Show students by gender
5. Show students by form
6. Delete a Student
7. Log out
the data in the database was created using a random name/street generator.
A straight forward lesson which explains the ways in which you perform binary addition, the lesson outlines the rules for binary addition and also has example questions. Answers are included on the final slide.
