Programming Fundamentals/Practice: Integrated Development Environment

Questions, exercises, problems, etc. that support this chapter in the "Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++" collection/textbook.

Learning Objectives
With 100% accuracy during a: memory building activity, exercises, lab assignment, problems, or timed quiz/exam; the student is expected to:
 * 1) Define the terms on the definitions as listed in the modules associated with this chapter.
 * 2) Be able to list the categories and give examples of errors encountered when using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
 * 3) Write the C++ code for a program using appropriate planning documentation that you or another has designed.

Answer the following statements as either true or false:

 * 1) IDE means Integer Division Expression.
 * 2) Most modern compilers are really an IDE type of software, not just a compiler.
 * 3) cin and cout are used for the standard input and output in C++.
 * 4) Programming errors are extremely easy to understand and fix.
 * 5) All C++ programs will have at least one include type of compiler directive.


 * 1) false
 * 2) true
 * 3) true
 * 4) false
 * 5) true

Miscellaneous Items
None at this time.

Creating a Folder or Sub-Folder for Chapter 05 Files
Depending on your compiler/IDE, you should decide where to download and store source code files for processing. Prudence dictates that you create these folders as needed prior to downloading source code files. A suggested sub-folder for the Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE might be named: If you have not done so, please create the folder(s) and/or sub-folder(s) as appropriate.
 * Chapter_05 within the folder named: Cpp_Source_Code_Files

Download the Lab File(s)
Download and store the following file(s) to your storage device in the appropriate folder(s). You may need to right click on the link and select "Save Target As" in order to download the file.

Download from Connexions: Solution_Lab_02_Pseudocode.txt

Download from Connexions: Solution_Lab_02_Test_Data.txt

Detailed Lab Instructions
Read and follow the directions below carefully, and perform the steps in the order listed.
 * Copy into your sub-folder: Chapter_05 one of the source code listings that we have used. We suggest the Lab 01 source code and rename the copy: Lab_05.cpp
 * Modify the code to follow the Solution_Lab_02_Pseudocode.txt file.


 * Build (compile and run) your program. You have successfully written this program if when it runs and you use the test data [use the test data as supplied as the solution for Lab 02] it gives the predicted results.
 * After you have successfully written this program, if you are taking this course for college credit, follow the instructions from your professor/instructor for submitting it for grading.
