The UCAS calculator before and after.

When I first made my UCAS calculator I had made all the forms and for some
reason my main menu when I click on e.g. award calculator it would take me
there but non of the buttons would work and the codes where right so there for I
decided to remake my calculator and here are some screen shoots of how my old
calculator and new one look like.
Unit 20 Assignment 3
Abdul Ali

My first ucas calculator I added an exit button as you can see and for the
calculators I added a back button and a reset button as I found it difficult to re
used the calculator so I added a reset button but then I released that someone
might of picked the wrong calculator and there for I added a back button.

I also added some design to it to make it more professional and also added the
college logo as it makes it more eyes catchy.
