Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less
interesting than looking. TEILHARD DE CHARDIN
This program will require the use of many decision-making structures. (See chapter seven.) You will need some ‘if’ statements and a switch. The switch is explained on page 131 of our textbook.
USING ifs and a SWITCH
As
a member of the selection committee for the prestigious Royal Order of the
Moose, you need to evaluate applications for membership.
Ask each applicant four questions… 1) Name
2) Age
3) Sex
4) Yearly income
A switch statement can only consider one item at a time. You must prepare for it with some ‘if’ statements like this…
cin>>age;
if (age < 13) group=1;
if (age >= 13 && age <= 20) group=2;
if (age >21 && age <=
62) group=3;
if (age < 62) group=4;
switch (group)
{
case1: strcpy (status, “reject”);
if (income > 50000)
{
strcpy(status,
“accepted”;
fee=500;
}
break;
case2: fee=150
if (sex == ‘m’)
{
fee=100;
strcpy
(status, “accepted”);
} break;
and
so on. You should also have a default at the end of the cases to “trap” all
other situations.
AGE
SEX 0-12 13-20 21-62 over 62
I_____________I___________I____________I___________I____________I
M Reject 100 200 300
F Reject 150 200 250
There are a few conditions that will adjust the fee from the above chart.
If the yearly income exceeds $100, 000, increase the fee by 20%.
If they are age 0-12 and the yearly income exceeds $50, 000 they will be accepted with a fee of $500.
