Description

B. Sc. in Computing/IT Management. Software Development 1
Continuous Assessment 2 (30%)
Pair project

A random selection of groups will be required to demonstrate their project

Instructions:

• Your work should be backed up as you work
• Include both your names and student numbers as a comment at the top of the program.
• Your work should be uploaded to Moodle.
• It is your responsibility to upload the correct deliverables
• Zip your pseudocode and .java file in a folder and upload the folder to Moodle

Problem:

When the program is first run the user should be asked to enter a username and password and then asked to re-enter their password.
System.exit(0); to end the program or use an if else statement to control the flow of the program.

The username should be at least 6 characters long, if not ask the user to re-enter it, give the user 3 attempts to re-enter and if the username is still invalid after that, exit the program as above.

If the user’s details are correct the program should continue as follows:

A menu based system, should appear repeatedly until the user chooses the Exit option, which displays the following menu to the user

Student Finance System
1. Calculate Student Grant
2. Current Overall Student Average

3. Fee Data
4. Grant Category Information 5. Exit
6.
If an invalid menu option is selected an error message should be printed and the menu re-displayed.

The grant system works on a scholarship basis with grants being allocated to students who achieve certain overall marks in their subject examinations. Each term the grants are allocated based on this principle.

If option 1 is selected:
Enter the student name and student number. Every student number should start with an uppercase ‘X’, if not ask the user to re-enter the student number until a valid number is entered.
You must then ask for four subject results for Software Development, Mathematics, Learning to Learn and Computer Architecture, calculate the average mark for the student from these results.

Calculate and maintain the overall average result of all the students processed.

The grants are allocated according to the following business rules. Fees are €3000 per annum.
Average Student Mark Grant allocated
>= 90 100% of fees paid
>=70 and <90 75% of fees paid
>= 50 and < 70 50% of fees paid
< 50 No grant given

If option 2 is selected:
Display the current overall student average result.

If option 3 is selected:

If option 4 is selected:
The management team wishes to know how many students are given grants in each category, i.e. 100% paid, 75% paid, 50% paid and no grant paid.

The number of students in each category should be displayed.
The category from which most students are paid grants should be displayed

All output should be formatted appropriately.
