This assignment is due Friday, February 13, by the start of class.
Write a program that does the following:
You may also assume that a ``word'' is a contiguous group of non-white space characters. This sounds complicated, but is really not. For example, in the previous sentence, not.
(including the period) would be a word, as would "word"
(including the quotation marks) in the sentence before that.
<
, >
, etc.) that you use with numbers.
Place the work for this assignment in your personal I:\CSC122
folder in a folder called HW1
. See below for how to create a project from scratch. Turn in a printout of this assignment on the due date in class. There is a file called sample.txt
in the public\Howard
folder that you can use to test your program.
There are a number of topics that will be useful for the assignment:
fstream
variables, etc.
File
menu, choose Project...
out of the New
submenu. The ``New Project'' dialog box will appear. Select Visual C++ Projects
from the project types, and Win32 Project
from the templates, then enter the correct project location and name in the text boxes; for this assignment, you would enter I:\CSC122\YourName
as the location, and HW1
as the name. Click ``OK'' and the ``Win32 Application Wizard'' dialog will appear. Click on ``Application Settings'' and then select both ``Console Application'' and ``Empty Project''; when you click on ``Finish'' a blank project skeleton will be created.
In the ``Solution Explorer'' window, right-click on the ``Source Files'' folder and choose Add/Add New Item...
; in the dialog that pops up, select C++ File
and enter a name (such as main.cpp
), then click ``Open''. An editor window will appear where you can start entering your program. If you need to add more source files to your project, follow this same process (right-clicking on either ``Source Files'' or ``Header Files'' as appropriate).
To compile and run your program, first select Build/Build Solution
from the menu bar. If there are no errors, then you may run the program by selecting Debug/Start Without Debugging
from the menu bar (this choice causes the program to display the ``Press any key to continue'' message after your program exits, so that you don't need to insert a pause at the end of main
).
File
menu, choose New...
; in the dialog box that appears, make sure the ``Project'' tab is selected, then choose Win32 Console Application
. Enter the correct project name and location in the text boxes; for this assignment, you would enter I:\CSC122\YourName
as the location, and then enter HW1
as the project name (doing so will also tack on HW1
to the end of the location). Click ``OK'' and the ``Win32 Console Application'' wizard will appear; choose ``An empty project'' and click ``Finish'', then click ``OK'' on the confirmation dialog.
To add a source file to the project, select File/New...
from the menu bar, and make sure the Files
tab is selected in the dialog box that appears. Now choose C++ Source File
(or C/C++ Header File
, as appropriate), and enter a file name such as main.cpp
. When you click on ``OK'', a blank editor window will appear.
To compile your project, select Build
from the Build
menu; to run, select Execute
from the Build
menu. As with VC++ .NET 2003, after your program terminates the console will display the message ``Press any key to continue'', so that you don't need to insert a pause at the end of main
for testing.
File
menu, choose Project...
out of the New
submenu. The ``New Target'' dialog box will appear. Enter the correct project path and name in the first text box; for this assignment, you would enter I:\CSC122\YourName\HW1\hw1.ide
. Make sure that ``Application [.exe]'' is selected under ``Target Type,'' and that the ``Platform'' and ``Target Model'' are ``Win32'' and ``Console'' (it will probably default to ``GUI,'' so you will need to be sure this gets changed). Now click the ``Advanced'' button and uncheck the boxes labeled .rc
and .def
, then click ``OK'' twice to make each dialog go away. Finally, double-click the .cpp
node in the project window that appears and you will get an editor window where you can start entering your program.
To attach additional source files to a project, choose File/New/TextEdit
and then File/Save as...
from the menu. Give your file an appropriate name in the ``Save File'' dialog and click ``OK.'' Now, in the project window, right-click on the .exe
node (at the top) and choose ``Add node'' from the context menu. This will bring up a file chooser; select the new file you just created and click ``OK.'' The next time you build the project, this new file will be compiled in with the rest of the program.
To build your project, select Project/Build All
from the menu bar; to run, select Debug/Run
. Remember that Borland does not automatically pause after your program executes, so you will need to insert either getch()
(defined in conio.h
) or cin.get()
(defined in iostream
) at the end of main
.
