RevisionRevision
• When closing a program and starting to write a new program in Visual C++, what should we do?
• What symbols should precede comments?• What does keyword “const” mean?• How do we read user input?• What are the two main parts of a C++
program?

Operations on DataOperations on Data
• C++ can work with many types of data
• Programs need to do “number crunching” if these are to be of any use
• In previous labs we have seen how C++ can use I/O functions to output text strings
• In a similar way Programs and functions can also handle numbers
4
Lab Exercise 2-ALab Exercise 2-A
• Perform Experiment 2.1 Page 17 of the lab manual
Operations on DataOperations on Data
• We have seen that the computer has an ALU that can perform a lot of operations on the data
• We can develop programs in C++ that use these ALU operations for solving our real life problems
• In order to do so, we need to follow C++ syntax and common sense rules
Some Rules to KnowSome Rules to Know
• To do effective programming for problem solving, we should state the problem to be solved as clearly as possible.
• The problem statement is sufficient to determine the data requirements
• Also, it can be used to develop an algorithm for solving it on the computer
An ExampleAn Example
• As an example, consider following problem• A customer deposits checks in his/her bank account as
follows:
• check #1: $435.61
• check #2: $365.89
• and at the same time withdraws 200 dollars cash. We are asked to write a computer program that displays the credit and debit separately for this transaction and then display final amount of money credited into the account?
Statement AnalysisStatement Analysis
• We can determine the data requirements by highlighting the nouns used in the statement and extracting the data items from the nouns
• Mini Exercise2-1: Determine the data requirements of the program
• We can also determine if the data items are input or output
Algorithm DevelopmentAlgorithm Development
• Once we know the data items, we can analyze the question(s) posed in the problem statement (verbs) to determine “functionality” of the desired program
• Thus we can start developing an algorithm to solve the problem
• Mini Exercise2-2: Analyze the problem and develop the algorithm required to solve it
Algorithm DevelopmentAlgorithm Development
• The problem is to determine debit and credit separately and then final credit for a transaction for one bank account
• It can be solved by using two temporary variables “debit” and “credit”
• credit = check1+check2
• debit = withdrawal
• final credit = credit - debit
Data Types Data Types
• Once we have determined the data requirements and the algorithm to solve our problem, we need some data formats in order to model our data
• For example, the checks submitted were not in whole number amount. We need a format in which we can represent numbers consisting of integer and fractional parts
12
Data TypesData Types
• Visual C++ provides several data formats (data types) for our programs
• Using these data types, we can represent our data in the programs
• For example, the amounts • check #1: $435.61 and check #2: $365.89• can be represented as floating point numbers
in a C++ program
13
Data TypesData Types
• Similarly, the amount of withdrawal ($200) is a whole number. It can be represented as an integer
• The integer and floating point numbers can be defined as constants or variables in a program
14
VariablesVariables
• A constant never changes its value throughout the program
• A variable will change its value during the program because the program may assign it some new value after computations
• Mini-Exercise2-3
• What are the constants and variables in the data in our example?
15
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• You have to declare all variables and constants in your program before you use the same
• Your program consists of functions like main() etc.
• Each function consists of two sections
• Declarations and Statements
16
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• Declarations consist of all constants and variables that you will use in your program
• Statements include all the “number crunching” directives that you want the computer to execute
• Let us look at the primitive data types in C++ and rules for declaring constants and variables
17
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• float data type is used to represent numbers that consist of integer and fractional parts.
• For example:
• CGPA = 2.54
• integer data type is used to represent whole numbers, such as
• Number of students = 5000
18
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• char data type can represent individual characters such as ‘c’ or digits such as ‘9’
• bool data type can be used to determine the result of a test
• Result = (CGPA<2)
• if Result==TRUE then performance is poor
19
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• For constant values, it is advisable to use names instead of using the value directly
• For example,
• const int MY_LIMIT=500;
• if (price > MY_LIMIT) then don’t_buy=TRUE;
• if (don’t_buy) then “exit the shop”
20
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• The names are more meaningful and make the program easier to read
• If the constant is used at several places, we do not have to change the value at all these places. We can just change the declaration
• Constants are usually named in CAPITAL LETTERS to distinguish the same from variables
21
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• Variables are declared in the same way as constants, except that initializing with a value is optional
• For example, if you want to make your purchase limit flexible, you can declare it as a variable
• int my_limit;
22
Data Types and VariablesData Types and Variables
• The identifiers used to declare constants and variables are subject to certain C++ rules
• No spaces within the identifier
• Do not begin the identifier with a digit or underscores
• Letters, underscores and digits allowed
• Keep the length under 31 to avoid portability problems
23
Lab Exercise 2-BLab Exercise 2-B
• Complete the program that can solve the problem of computing and showing credit, debit and effective credit for a transaction
• Use comments on every declaration as well as major block of statements describing what it is and what it accomplishes

Review of Topics CoveredReview of Topics Covered
• What primitive data types are used in C++ to represent numerical values?
• During comparisons, the result may be assigned to a variable. What is the data type of such a variable?
• Ex: testresult = (smoke_detector ringing)
• if (testresult) then someone is smoking OR there is something on fire
26
Review of TopicsReview of Topics
• Why do we perform data analysis on the given problem?
• What information is obtained from data analysis and how is it used in the program?
• Describe the structured method for algorithm development
• Why does initial algorithm only show WHAT is to be done?
27
Lab Exercise 2-B SolutionLab Exercise 2-B Solution
• A customer deposits checks in his/her bank account as follows:
• check #1: $435.61• check #2: $365.89• and at the same time withdraws 200 dollars
cash. Can you write a computer program that displays the credit and debit for this transaction and display final amount of money credited into the account?
28
Lab Exercise 2-B SolutionLab Exercise 2-B Solution
• First we perform data analysis
• We determine that there are :
• 3 constant data items
check1, check2, withdrawal
• 3 output data items
credit, debit, effective_credit
• All are floating point numbers except withdrawal (whole number)
29
Lab Exercise 2-B SolutionLab Exercise 2-B Solution
• Using data analysis results, we can complete the declarations part of the C++ program
• double const CHECK1= 435.61;
• double const CHECK2= 365.89;
• int const WDRAW=200;
• double credit,debit,effective_credit;
30

32
Initializing VariablesInitializing Variables
• We initialize variables before trying to use the same on RHS of a computation or printing out their values
• Experiment 2.4 lab manual
• Use cin>>YourVariable to read some value from the user and store it in YourVariable
33
Mod and Div OperatorsMod and Div Operators
• You can perform all arithmetic operations on numeric data including division
• Division can be done in two ways
• Div operator (/) performs integer division on two arguments, truncating remainder IF BOTH ARE INTEGERS
• Mod (%) operator results in remainder after the division has been carried out
34
Mod and Div ExampleMod and Div Example
• You have 28 candies to be distributed equally in 5 kids. How many candies does each kid get and how many candies will be left with you after the distribution?
• Answer:
• Each one gets: 28 Div 5 candies
• Leftovers: 28 Mod 5
Mod and Div OperatorsMod and Div Operators
• Perform Experiment 2.6• Lab Assignment 1(Due 2/27/2001)• Develop a program that computes the biweekly pay stub
for an employee. It asks the user to input the gross salary. It then deducts social security at the rate of 2% and union fees at the rate of 1%. It withholds federal tax at the rate of 15% and state tax at the rate of 8%. All deductions and the net pay must be shown in a nice format. Show data analysis and use a lot of comments in your program.
