CPPForSchool.com: Array - Single Dimension Set 1 Assignment 1

1. Write a C++ program to find the sum and average of one dimensional integer array.


For the past 10 assignments, I have began to standardize my code format by including a boilerplate design.  Also, I have began including comments as a header as well.  For this assignment, I have began to further enhance my coding format, specifically by breaking chunks of the code into functions.  Although it takes a bit more time to code, the flexibility it creates in regards to updating the code is quite remarkable.  With that said, I will be breaking down the screenshots of my source into sizable sections for increased clarity.

***Spoiler Alert: Although I did create a program that takes the sum and average of a one dimensional integer array, it was a limited implementation.  After review the sample source code, I modified it to become a more intuitive and robust system.***

For this assignment, I wanted to go a bit beyond the original requirements of building a simple array calculator, specifically coding style wise.  I decided to break everything into functions and call them accordingly.  This allows more flexibility in the long run.  Admittedly, this is somewhat useless because I sincerely doubt that I will need to use this program.  Nevertheless, practice is important for future programs that will need this sort of flexible approach.

Below is my source code. 













Once I was able to confirm the calculations and menu system worked successfully, I went ahead and began the comparison between my code and the sample source code.  Once I reviewed the sample source code, I began to integrate the new code, specifically giving the ability for the user to specify all of the integers within the one dimensional array.

The function arrayCalculator has now been updated to the following:


Now the user is required to add all of the integers manually, instead of a fixed pre-loaded integer array.




Admittedly, I went way overboard with this assignment, but I enjoyed the process thoroughly.  With that said, below is a screenshot of the sample source code and output.  Note, the last screenshot is from my program for comparison.

9. Write a program to check whether the given number is positive or negative (using ? : ternary operator ) This assignment had my computer science senses tingling, in a very bad way.  For this particular assignment, I had to code a program that utilizes a ternary operator for determining if a number is positive or negative.  In concept this should be rather simple, but reading it hasn't been too easy.  From what I understood, ternary operators function much like a shorthand if/else statement.  Nevertheless, below is the source code and output. Although there everything outputted as expected, there is a minor issue.  If the user decides to input a zero, regardless of the instruction, it will output incorrect information. Example 1: "23 is a positive number."  <--Correct! Example 2: "-123 is a negative number."  <--Correct! Example 3: "0 is a negative number." <--Wrong! Once again, I would like to point ...

6. P is one-dimensional array of integers. Write a C++ function to efficiently search for a data VAL from P. If VAL is present in the array then the function should return value 1 and 0 otherwise. For this assignment, I was not able to decipher what VAL was supposed to represent.  Presumably, it stood for value, but I was not 100% sure so I went ahead and reviewed the sample code.  With that said, I coded this assignment using functions once again.  Also, using bool was quite interesting.  I was unaware of how flexible bool can be utilized.  I have learned a great deal with this assignment.  Nevertheless, below is my source code along with the sample code for comparison.

8. Write a program to calculate area of circle. Once again, math has reared its focus on an assignment.  Luckily, with the power of search engines, I was able to rediscover the equations for calculating the area of a circle.  However, there are some requirements.  In order to calculate the area of a circle, the user will need to provide one of the following: radius, diameter, or circumference. Also, here is a quick rundown of the variables. A = Area π = pi r = radius D = diameter C = circumference According to MathIsFun , the area of a circle can be calculated using one of the following formulas. **Fun fact, in order to type the pi symbol "π", hold down ALT + 2, 2, 7. -- WikiHow ** **For the exponent of 2, hold down ALT + 2, 5, 3. -- AZCentral ** A = π r²                     π  (Pi) times the Radius squared A = ( π / 4 ) * D²      when you know the Diameter A = C² / 4...
