Assignments for SI 609 C++

Note: All assignments are due the end of the Sunday session, but can be handed in Mon. in room 1213 EECS (slide it under the door if I am not there). These assignments will not be part of your grade - programming is a skill, which you learn by doing. Your "grade" for this part will be how much time you have to spend working on your part of the project. People who know C++ and program design well will have an easier time doing the project. You will learm much more C++ by doing the programming assignments than by listening to my lectures, so doing them is critical, but when you do them is much less important. Your attendance at the Thurs. evening and Sat. and Sun. morning sessions is up to you.

If you already know C++, then you don't need to do any of the assignments.
If you want to work on them on your own, no problem, just get them in on time.
If you want to hand them in early, no problem.
If you get them done on Sat., you don't have to come in on Sun., etc.
If you want more practice writing code than is provided in the assignments, come see me or send email.

Program style specifications

Sep 12 - Read Ch 2
Do written exercise 2.17 on p 85 in the text, showing the contents of X,Y, and A after each statement.
Write a program that asks for a user's name and birthday and outputs how old they will be on their birthday and a special message based on their birthday. Your program must accept input from any number of users. Include the following keywords in your program: do, while, if, switch, and for.
Sep 19 - Read Ch 1, 3
Do 2 parts of written exercise 1.2 on p 36 in the text.
Do programming exercise 3.1 on p 131 in the text.
Sep 26 - Read Ch 4, 8, 9
Do written exercises 4.1 on p 178, 8.2 on p 370, and 9.2 a-g on p 465 in the text.
Write a program that takes input from the user, puts it in a list, and prints out the list when the user is done. Use a linked list ADT with insert and print operations. Choose any algorithm you want for the insert operation.
Oct 3 - Review Ch 10, 11
Write a program that translates text into Morse Code. Read the text from a file and output the Morse Code to a different file. Copy all punctuation as it is in the text, except for .'s and _'s - choose something to take their place. Input is text and output is the text translated into Morse Code. Also output a "cheat sheet", if the user wants one, so the Morse Code can be translated back into text, by hand.
If you still have time, write your program so it can also take Morse Code files, in the format that your program creates, and translate it back to text. (If this isn't challenging enough, do it with only 1 data structure!)
