Description

Workshop 3 (out of 10 marks – 4% of your final grade)

In this workshop, you will code a C-language program that analyzes data logically.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of this workshop, you will have demonstrated the abilities:
• to create a simple interactive program
• to code a decision using a selection construct
• to code repetitive logic using an iteration construct
• to nest a logical block within another logical block

SUBMISSION POLICY

You are responsible to back up your work regularly.
Late submission penalties:
– In-lab portion submitted late, with at-home portion: 0 for in-lab. Maximum of 70/70 for at-home and reflection
– If any of in-lab, at-home or reflection portions is missing the mark will be zero.
IN-LAB: (30%)
Download or clone workshop 3 (WS03) from https://github.com/Seneca-144100/IPCWorkshops
Code a program in temps.c that does the following:
1. Before the declaration of main define NUMS as 3: #define NUMS 3

2. Print the title of the application.

>—=== IPC Temperature Analyzer ===—<

3. Using a for loop, prompt the user to enter the high and low values for each of NUMS days. The values entered must be between -40 and 40, and high must be greater than low.

Print the following messages:
>Enter the high value for day 1: < (or day 2, or day 3) * Read the high value.

>Enter the low value for day 1: < (or day 2, or day 3) * Read the low value.
4. Use a nested while (or do-while) loop to analyze the results, high must be greater than low, high must be less than 41, low must be greater than -41

*If any entry is incorrect, prompt the user to enter again until the entries pass the tests:

> Incorrect values, temperatures must be in the range -40 to 40, high must be greater than low. <

Then prompt again for the high and low temperatures for the day.

OUTPUT EXAMPLE WITH ERRORS HANDLED (use this data for submission)
—=== IPC Temperature Analyzer ===—
Enter the high value for day 1: 8
Enter the low value for day 1: -2

Enter the high value for day 2: 41

Enter the low value for day 2: -4

Incorrect values, temperatures must be in the range -40 to 40, high must be greater than low.

Enter the high value for day 2: 9
Enter the low value for day 2: -4
Enter the high value for day 3: 5

Enter the low value for day 3: 11

Incorrect values, temperatures must be in the range -40 to 40, high must be greater than low.

Enter the high value for day 3: 11

Enter the low value for day 3: 5

IN_LAB SUBMISSION:
To test and demonstrate execution of your program use the same data as the output example above.
If not on matrix already, upload your temps.c to your matrix account. Compile and run your code and make sure everything works properly.
Then run the following script from your account: (replace profname.proflastname with your professors Seneca userid and replace NAA with your section)

~profname.proflastname/submit 144w3/NAA_lab <ENTER> and follow the instructions.

Please Note
• A successful submission does not guarantee full credit for this workshop.

AT_HOME: (30%)
After completing the in_lab section, upgrade temps.c to do the following:
• Process a 4-day period using a single change to your in_lab code
• Display the highest temperature, and on which day it occurred
• Display the lowest temperature, and on which day it occurred
• Calculate and display the mean LOW temperature for the 4-day period
• Calculate and display the mean HIGH temperature for the 4-day period
• Calculate and display the mean OVERALL temperature for the 4-day period

Hints: In order to do the above, you will need to declare more variables.
• Accumulate the low and high temperatures independently
• Calculate averages after all the totals are known

OUTPUT EXAMPLE
—=== IPC Temperature Analyzer ===—
Enter the high value for day 1: 8

Enter the low value for day 1: -2

Enter the high value for day 2: 9

Enter the low value for day 2: -4

Enter the high value for day 3: 5

Enter the low value for day 3: 11

Incorrect values, temperatures must be in the range -40 to 40, high must be greater than low.

Enter the high value for day 3: 11

Enter the low value for day 3: 5

Enter the high value for day 4: 10

Enter the low value for day 4: 3

The average (mean) LOW temperature was: 0.50
The average (mean) HIGH temperature was: 9.50
The average (mean) temperature was: 5.00
The highest temperature was 11, on day 3
The lowest temperature was -4, on day 2

AT-HOME REFLECTION (40%)
Please provide answers to the following in a text file named reflect.txt.
In three or more paragraphs, explain what you learned while doing this workshop. In addition to what you have learned, your answer should at least include the following:

• There are 3 types of iteration constructs. What ones did you use in your program, and why?
• Describe how you tested your solution and what debugging method you applied to find and correct errors?

Reflections will be graded on clarity of thought, correctness, grammar and spelling.

Note: when completing the workshop reflection it is a violation of academic policy to cut and paste content from the course notes or any other published source, or to copy the work of another student.

AT_HOME SUBMISSION:
To test and demonstrate execution of your program use the same data as the output example above… (8, -2, 9, -4, 5, 11, 11, 5, 10, 3)
If not on matrix already, upload your temps.c and reflect.txt to your matrix account. Compile and run your code and make sure everything works properly.
Then run the following script from your account: (replace profname.proflastname with your professors Seneca userid and replace NAA with your section)
~profname.proflastname/submit 144w3/NAA_home <ENTER> and follow the instructions.
