Final Examination
When your VB program is done, upload the "form1.vb" source only (but NOT the Designer file), but name it "XYZfinal.vb" (where XYZ is your initials), and also print it out. |
When your Spreadsheet is done, print it out, then press Ctrl-~ to display the formulas and print it again. Also upload a cut-and-paste of the formulas as "XYZexcel.txt". (where XYZ is your initials), |
When your web page is done, upload it to XYZfinal.html and also print it out. |
Next, make an unordered list of (approximate) hexadecimal color codes for the following colors. The list is unordered, but the codes must be listed in order, from lowest to highest:
Pink Dark gray Green (with no other colors present) Dark blue (with no other colors present) Bright blue Yellow Black White
Make an ordered list, with labels A, B, C, D, etc. of at least eight different ways of storing binary data (bits) for later use in a computer -- other than on a floppy diskette. List them in order from the most expensive to the least expensive, and indicate a TYPICAL size in bytes for each one.
Finally, use TABLE tags to display a 4-by-4 table, similar to the following, but with answers to the the questions in the appropriate cells.

C3: What must be added to the end of a network cable, and why? D3: In a spreadsheet, what two things (in proper order) correspond to database fields and records (respectively).
