Comp 1671, Autumn 2002
Programming Project 1
Assigned September 13, 2002
Due Friday, September 20, 2002
(Deadline extended - programs accepted until September 23)

These are the instructions for your first programming project. Recall that all code must be written individually and independently.

This program will prompt the user (who we'll imagine is a student at DU) for some information, then it will display to the screen a blank line, followed by a summary of the information that was input. The information the program will ask for is the first name of the student, the last name of the student, the year the student was born, the year in school of the student (1-4), and the GPA of the student. After this information is input, then the program will display a blank line, followed by a summary of the information they gave, as follows. The program should output the student's full name on one line, their year in school on the next line, their GPA on the next line, and their age (as of the end of this year) on the last line.

Here is a sample output of the program: 



ftl> project1

Please type your first name: Alan 
Please type your last name: Turing 
What year were you born? 1912 
What is your year in school (1-4)?: 2
What is your GPA? 3.94

Student name:  Alan Turing
Student Class: 2
Student Age:   90 
Student GPA:   3.94

Instructions for submitting:
Don't forget that your program should start with a few lines of comments giving your name, the date, the course this is for, and the assignment number. The program should be written with a well organized structure, and the variables should be named in a useful way. The program should be formatted consistently and clearly, and should include comments that explain the code. When you're done writing and testing the program, print out a copy of your source code. Also print out a copy of the output of your program (this must be the output that the program truly gave, not typed in by hand). Bring these to class on the due date and turn them in at the beginning of class. Also, before the beginning of class on the due date, mail your source code (your ".cpp" file) to comp1671@cs.du.edu. Do not include it as the message, instead make it an attachment to the email.

If you need further challenge: If you have programmed before and find this program too easy, then after completing the program, augment it in the various ways suggested below. (This may require reading ahead in the book).
