The final assessment is designed to evaluate your understanding and proficiency in MUMPS programming, covering all the modules from the course. This assessment will consist of a combination of theoretical questions and practical tasks. You will be required to demonstrate your ability to apply the concepts learned throughout the course to solve real-world problems.

The final assessment is divided into three main sections:

1. Theoretical Questions
2. Practical Coding Tasks
3. Project Review

This section will test your understanding of key concepts and principles of MUMPS programming. You will be asked to answer multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, and explain certain concepts in detail.

Example Questions:

1. Multiple Choice:

   • What is the primary data structure used in MUMPS?
     • a) Array
     • b) List
     • c) Global Variable
     • d) Hash Table

2. Short Answer:

   • Explain the difference between local and global variables in MUMPS.

3. Concept Explanation:

   • Describe how error handling is implemented in MUMPS and provide an example.

In this section, you will be given a set of coding problems that require you to write MUMPS code to solve them. These tasks will cover various topics such as control structures, data handling, and interfacing.

Example Tasks:

1. Basic Task:

   • Write a MUMPS program that takes a user's input and prints it in reverse order.

   REVERSE
   NEW INPUT,OUTPUT
   READ "Enter a string: ", INPUT
   SET OUTPUT=""
   FOR I=$LENGTH(INPUT):-1:1 SET OUTPUT=OUTPUT_$EXTRACT(INPUT,I)
   WRITE "Reversed string: ", OUTPUT, !
   QUIT
   

2. Intermediate Task:

   • Create a MUMPS routine that stores user information (name, age, and email) in a global variable and retrieves it based on the user's name.

   STOREINFO
   NEW NAME,AGE,EMAIL
   READ "Enter name: ", NAME
   READ "Enter age: ", AGE
   READ "Enter email: ", EMAIL
   SET ^USERINFO(NAME)="Age: "_AGE_" Email: "_EMAIL
   WRITE "Information stored successfully!", !
   QUIT
   
   RETRIEVEINFO
   NEW NAME
   READ "Enter name to retrieve: ", NAME
   IF $DATA(^USERINFO(NAME)) WRITE ^USERINFO(NAME), !
   ELSE  WRITE "No information found for ", NAME, !
   QUIT
   

3. Advanced Task:

   • Implement a MUMPS routine that performs CRUD operations on a simple database of books (title, author, year).

   ADDBOOK
   NEW TITLE,AUTHOR,YEAR
   READ "Enter book title: ", TITLE
   READ "Enter author: ", AUTHOR
   READ "Enter year: ", YEAR
   SET ^BOOKS(TITLE)="Author: "_AUTHOR_" Year: "_YEAR
   WRITE "Book added successfully!", !
   QUIT
   
   VIEWBOOK
   NEW TITLE
   READ "Enter book title to view: ", TITLE
   IF $DATA(^BOOKS(TITLE)) WRITE ^BOOKS(TITLE), !
   ELSE  WRITE "No book found with title ", TITLE, !
   QUIT
   
   DELETEBOOK
   NEW TITLE
   READ "Enter book title to delete: ", TITLE
   IF $DATA(^BOOKS(TITLE)) KILL ^BOOKS(TITLE) WRITE "Book deleted successfully!", !
   ELSE  WRITE "No book found with title ", TITLE, !
   QUIT
   

In this section, you will submit your final project for review. The project should demonstrate your ability to apply MUMPS programming concepts to a comprehensive, real-world application. The project will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Functionality: Does the project meet the requirements and perform the intended tasks correctly?
• Code Quality: Is the code well-organized, readable, and maintainable?
• Use of MUMPS Features: Does the project effectively utilize MUMPS features such as global variables, control structures, and error handling?
• Innovation: Does the project demonstrate creativity and innovative use of MUMPS?

• Theoretical Questions: Submit your answers in a text document (e.g., PDF, Word).
• Practical Coding Tasks: Submit your MUMPS code files with appropriate comments and documentation.
• Project Review: Submit your project code along with a brief report explaining the project, its features, and how it meets the evaluation criteria.

The final assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your skills and knowledge in MUMPS programming. It is designed to ensure that you are well-prepared to apply MUMPS in real-world scenarios. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing your submissions!
