PA for WGU C867.
This project ended up being really time consuming for me as it was my first time being introduced to OOP. This class took me about 2.5 months to finish. 2 months of learning and half a month of actually coding the project. After finishing this project, I feel a lot more confident as a coder and have a newfound appreciation for back-end development.
REQUIREMENTS Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
A. Modify the “studentData Table” to include your personal information as the last item.
B. Create a C++ project in your integrated development environment (IDE) with the following files:
• degree.h
• student.h and student.cpp
• roster.h and roster.cpp
• main.cpp
Note: There must be a total of six source code files.
C. Define an enumerated data type DegreeProgram for the degree programs containing the data type values SECURITY, NETWORK, and SOFTWARE.
Note: This information should be included in the degree.h file.
D. For the Student class, do the following:
- Create the class Student in the files student.h and student.cpp, which includes each of the following variables:
• student ID
• first name
• last name
• email address
• age
• array of number of days to complete each course
• degree program
- Create each of the following functions in the Student class:
a. an accessor (i.e., getter) for each instance variable from part D1
b. a mutator (i.e., setter) for each instance variable from part D1
c. All external access and changes to any instance variables of the Student class must be done using accessor and mutator functions.
d. constructor using all of the input parameters provided in the table
e. print() to print specific student data
E. Create a Roster class (roster.cpp) by doing the following:
-
Create an array of pointers, classRosterArray, to hold the data provided in the “studentData Table.”
-
Create a student object for each student in the data table and populate classRosterArray.
a. Parse each set of data identified in the “studentData Table.”
b. Add each student object to classRosterArray.
- Define the following functions:
a. public void add(string studentID, string firstName, string lastName, string emailAddress, int age, int daysInCourse1, int daysInCourse2, int daysInCourse3, DegreeProgram degreeprogram) that sets the instance variables from part D1 and updates the roster.
b. public void remove(string studentID) that removes students from the roster by student ID. If the student ID does not exist, the function prints an error message indicating that the student was not found.
c. public void printAll() that prints a complete tab-separated list of student data in the provided format: A1 [tab] First Name: John [tab] Last Name: Smith [tab] Age: 20 [tab]daysInCourse: {35, 40, 55} Degree Program: Security. The printAll() function should loop through all the students in classRosterArray and call the print() function for each student.
d. public void printAverageDaysInCourse(string studentID) that correctly prints a student’s average number of days in the three courses. The student is identified by the studentID parameter.
e. public void printInvalidEmails() that verifies student email addresses and displays all invalid email addresses to the user.
Note: A valid email should include an at sign ('@') and period ('.') and should not include a space (' ').
f. public void printByDegreeProgram(DegreeProgram degreeProgram) that prints out student information for a degree program specified by an enumerated type.
F. Demonstrate the program’s required functionality by adding a main() function in main.cpp, which will contain the required function calls to achieve the following results:
-
Print out to the screen, via your application, the course title, the programming language used, your WGU student ID, and your name.
-
Create an instance of the Roster class called classRoster.
-
Add each student to classRoster.
-
Convert the following pseudo code to complete the rest of the main() function:
classRoster.printAll();
classRoster.printInvalidEmails();
//loop through classRosterArray and for each element:
classRoster.printAverageDaysInCourse(/current_object's student id/);
Note: For the current_object's student id, use an accessor (i.e., getter) for the classRosterArray to access the student id.
classRoster.printByDegreeProgram(SOFTWARE);
classRoster.remove("A3");
classRoster.printAll();
classRoster.remove("A3");
//expected: the above line should print a message saying such a student with this ID was not found.
- Implement the destructor to release the memory that was allocated dynamically in Roster.
G. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
