Programming Assignment 13

In this assignment you are to write a program which will read a student's name and letter grade in several courses. These will be echoed to the output file and the gpa will be calculated and printed.

The input looks like the following:

Joe College

C+ English Composition

A Introduction to Programming

B- First Year Seminar

B+ Introduction to Anthropology

The output should look exactly like the following (with the blank lines)

Joe College

English Composition C+

Introduction to Programming A

First Year Seminar B-

Introduction to Anthropology B+

GPA = 3.08

Your program should do the following things:

1. Open the input and output files.

2. Read and print the student's name (use a function).

3. Loop through the student's courses until the end of the file is encountered.

a. Read an entire line (use the getline function).

b. Get the letter, modifier and course from the string line.

c. Write the course, letter and modifier.

d. Compute the number of points by using 2 functions which convert the letter and the modifier to the appropriate values. (Use the switch statement in both functions.)

Letters: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0

Modifiers: + (add 0.3), - (add -0.3)

e. Sum the points and count the number of courses.

4. Calculate and print the gpa.
