Description
Introduction
In this workshop, you will code a C language program that implements simple validation on a series of user input values, and then analyzes the data to provide a statistical summary.
Topic(s)
• Logic 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 • to describe to your instructor what you have learned in completing this workshop
Part-1 (10%) Instructions Download or clone workshop 5 (WS05) from https://github.com/Seneca-144100/IPC-Workshops Note: If you use the download option, make sure you EXTRACT the files from the .zip archive file 1. Review the “Part-1 Output Example” (next section) to see how this program is expected to work 2. Code your program in the file named “w5p1.c” IMPORTANT: Do NOT use arrays in this workshop! 3. After the system library #include, and before the main function, define two (2) macros: #define MIN_YEAR 2012 #define MAX_YEAR 2022 4. Inside the main function, declare two (2)
unmodifiable integer variables “JAN” and “DEC” representing the first and last months of the year respectively (initialize “JAN” to 1 and “DEC” to 12) 5. Display the title for the well-being log application 6. Nest inside an iteration construct the following: a) Display the following message: >Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): < b) Read from standard input (keyboard) the year and month
(entered on the same line with a space between) assigning the input values to two integer variables (having meaningful names representing the data they store) c) Apply what you have learned about selection to define the necessary logic that will validate the values entered for the year and month. o The entered year value must be between MIN_YEAR and MAX_YEAR inclusive
o The entered month value must be between JAN and DEC inclusive o If any of the above validations fail, the respective error message(s) should be displayed (see example output to see what each error message should display) 7. Step #6 should continue to iterate until a valid year and month value is entered 8. When a valid year and month is entered, display a message indicating the log starting date has been successfully set: >*** Log date set! ***< 9.
Display the log start date in the format: YYYY-MMM-DD YYYY: The year as 4-digits MMM: First 3-characters of the month name DD: The 2-digit day Note: The log will start on the 1 st day of the month entered by the user Hint: You need to implement alternative/multiple selection to map the month integer value to the respective 3- character month representation. There are a couple of constructs available to you that will make this possible!
Part-1 Output Example (Note: Use the YELLOW highlighted user-input data for submission) General Well-being Log ====================== Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2011 1 ERROR: The year must be between 2012 and 2022 inclusive Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2023 1 ERROR: The year must be between 2012 and 2022 inclusive Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2022 0 ERROR: Jan.(1) – Dec.(12) Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2022 13 ERROR: Jan.(1) – Dec.(12) Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2011 0 ERROR: The year must be between 2012 and 2022 inclusive ERROR: Jan.(1) – Dec.
(12) Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2023 13 ERROR: The year must be between 2012 and 2022 inclusive ERROR: Jan.(1) – Dec.(12) Set the year and month for the well-being log (YYYY MM): 2022 2 *** Log date set! *** Log starting date: 2022-FEB-01
Part-1 Submission 1. Upload (file transfer) your source file “w5p1.c” to your matrix account 2. Login to matrix in an SSH terminal and change directory to where you placed your workshop source code.
3. Manually compile and run your program to make sure everything works properly: gcc -Wall w5p1.c -o w5 If there are no errors/warnings generated, execute it: w5 4. Run the submission command below (replace profname.proflastname with your professors Seneca userid and replace NAA with your section): ~profName.proflastname/submit 144w5/NAA_p1 5. Follow the on-screen submission instructions
Part-2 (40%) Instructions In a new source code file “w5p2.c”, upgrade the solution to Part-1 to include data input for a specified number of days that records the user’s self-diagnosed “wellness” rating for the morning and evening periods of each day. The application will end with a summary of statistics about the data entered. 1. Review the “Part-2 Output Example” (next section) to see how the program is expected to work 2. Add another macro to define the maximum days (3) of data to collect from the user: #define LOG_DAYS 3
Note: This program must be coded in such a manner that it will work no matter what value is set for LOG_DAYS, from 3 – 28. 3. Continuing from Part-1, use a for iteration construct to loop the necessary number times based on the defined LOG_DAYS Note: You will need to create additional variables. Be sure to place them at the beginning of the main function so all variables are organized and grouped together and in one place
4. Nest inside the for construct, the following: a) Display the current log date in the format: YYYY-MMM-DD as described in Part-1 Note: The day value must be derived from a variable and not hard-coded, and remember the log always begins on the 1 st day of the month b) For each day, you need to read two (2) double floating-point user input values that represent a morning and an evening self-diagnosis rating value c) Display a prompt to get the user input value for the “morning” diagnosis.
This is a value that should be between 0.0 and 5.0 inclusive (refer to the example output) d) Validate the rating value entered by the user. An incorrect value that is out of range, should display the appropriate error message and prompt again for a value and repeat as many times as is necessary until a valid value is entered e) Repeat the same logic from step: c) above only for the “evening” diagnosis. f) Repeat from step #4 until the number of desired days is reached
5. After all the data is entered by the user, a summary should be displayed consisting of the following: • The sum of all the valid values entered for the morning ratings • The sum of all the valid values entered for the evening ratings • The sum of all the valid values entered for the combined morning and evening ratings o Note: Display all sums to 3-decimal precision points • The average morning rating based on the number of LOG_DAYS of data entered • The average evening rating based on the number of LOG_DAYS of data entered • The average combined morning and evening rating based on the number of LOG_DAYS of data entered o Note: Display all averages to 1-decimal precision point

1. Why do we try to use variables and macros to represent information rather than hardcode “magic” numbers (constant literals)? Using the details of this workshop, describe at least three advantages this provides us? 2. The rating values entered by the user required iteration to perform basic validations with each iteration concentrated on testing for values to be within a specific range.
Why do we not include additional logic that sums and performs the average? Instead, the sum and average logic is placed outside of any validation routine. Briefly explain two reasons why this is better design and refer to the details of this workshop to justify your answer.
