This is the third project in a series of three programming projects and a set of lecture slides. This project on Credit Card transaction validation builds upon the Luhn Algorithm project and brings it to a higher level of complexity involving different card types, interest rates and rebate plans. The implementation of this third project uses OOP, inheritance and polymorphism.
This is one project of a series of three from the same authors. The projects should be done in the following order: 1. Project 1: Caesar's Cipher 2. Project 2: Luhn Algorithm for Digit Validation 3. Project 3: Credit Card Validation Project using Inheritance and Polymorphism. The PowerPoint slides on cyber-security fit well before or after Project 2 to give students an overview on how information is stored on credit cards and how potential breaches can happen. The slides bring in very relevant discussions on current events, computing security, commercial practices and raise awareness on the importance of good security protocols and their ethical and societal implications.
This is the third project in a series of programming projects and PowerPoint slides help introduce students in introductory CS courses to fundamental concepts in cyber-security / encryption and to think beyond just learning programming language syntax. It weaves in interesting concepts, current practices and a relevance to students’ daily life. It is also a sequence of projects that build upon CS1 and CS2 topics and works well in developing a coherence and cogency on these topics, syntax and program design.
