Lab 4 Solution

Introduction:




Up to now we’ve been working with single value variables. So one variable only represents one number or one character or one boolean value. But sometimes we will want to represent collections of values. For instance, we might want to store the grades of 20 students rather than just one student. Instead of declaring twenty different integer variables, we can use one integer array.




An array is like a matrix in algebra. It is many different, related values which are all represented as being part of the same collection. All of these values will be stored in a continuous block of memory. In C++, arrays are always of a fixed size and you must tell the compiler what that size is when you declare the array. This can be done in two fashions:




int myFirstArray [] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; int mySecondArray [4];




//providing a list of values to create a size 4 array //providing a size without values



The values stored in an array can be retrieved with an ​index ​which starts from 0​​and goes up to size-1. Retrieving a value from an array looks like this:




cout << myFirstArray[0]; //prints 1




cout << myFirstArray[3]; //prints 4




The purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with the techniques of safely creating and using arrays.




Directions:




1- ​Launch Code::Blocks and start a new file. Name it your_last_name_lab4.cpp.




2-​Include the standard header for this lab:

//Your Name




//CS1428




//Lab 4




3- ​Include the iostream standard library and start your main function:
#include <iostream




using namespace std;




int main() {




4- ​Copy the following code to create, load, and print a simple array




int grades[3];




for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){




cout << "Enter a grade for student " << i << ": "; cin grades[i];




}




for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){




cout << "Student " << i << " earned a " << grades[i] << endl;




}




Notice that the first student is Student 0 because ​the first index in grades is 0​and the last student is Student 2 because ​the last index in grades is 2.




5-​Rewrite the body of the second ​for ​loop in problem 4 so that it shows the student’s letter grade rather than their number grade. So it should print “Student 0 earned an A” ​if​that students score is between 90 and 100, B ​if ​their score is between 80 and 89, C ​if ​their score is between 75 and 79, D ​if ​their score is between 70 and 74, or ​else ​an F.




6- ​Your client is a property manager that oversees 8 different apartment complexes. Each complex was recently inspected and given a score of “F” for failing, “P” for passing, or “E” for excellent. The scores assigned to the complexes were: 'E', 'P', 'F', 'F', 'E', 'P', 'E', 'F'. They need you to:




Store the property scores in an array of the correct data type.



Define a constant value to store the size of your score array.



Write a loop which will count the number of excellent properties and print the result.



Write a loop which will print the index of every failing property.



Update the third property from failing to passing and the seventh property from excellent to passing.



7-​Copy the following poorly written code. Debug it so that each line performs the action described in the comment:




//declare an array of prime numbers




int primes = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17}




//declare an integer named index

int index;




//declare a float named average




flot average;




//loop while index is less than 7




while index <= 7{




//add the value in primes at index to average




average = average + primes;




//update index




index+;




}




//print range of averages




cout << "Smallest prime: " << primes[1] << " Biggest prime: " << primes[7] << endl;




//divide average by the count of values in primes average/7;




//print the average of the 7 numbers in primes




cout << "Average of 7 prime numbers: " << average endl;




8-​Build and Run your code. Fix any errors. Your output should look something like this:
