Homework 2, A Mini Contest

Short Description:

Goals

• Used vectors to solve several problems.

Formal Description

Please solve these two problems using vectors:

• Word Cloud
  • A vector of classes.
  • This is object oriented programming. Use a class or two.
  • This is more of a reading problem than a math problem. The math is not that bad.
  • Name your solution file wordcloud.C or wordcloud.cpp.
  • Even though this has a higher rating, it is a simpler problem (IMHO)
  • Be careful with casting/coercion. Make sure you DO THE EXAMPLES and understand how the program designers did the math.
  • You can get into an end of file like problem (but not with input, but with a form of output).
  • The write up is correct. The behavior of words and fonts is unexpected, but implement the math correctly and all is well.
  • If a word is longer than the line length given, place it on a line by itself.
• Fast Food Prizes
  • You want a vector of classes for this one.
  • The class should probably have a vector member.
  • Handle the input then worry about the solution.
  • Name your solution file fastfood.C or fastfood.cpp.
  • Using a class or two may be a bit overkill, a struct might do, but this is object oriented programming after all. USE CLASSES.

Notes

• All input should be from standard in (cin)
• All output should be to standard out (cout)
• You do not need to validate input. All input will be valid and within the set limits.
• You must use vectors in your solution.
• You may use find, sort from the standard algorithm library. (But you might not need them).
• Use the following Makefile
• You would be silly not to do a design for these programs, even though they are short.
• If you need help with an algorithm let me know.
• If you like this type of problem you might consider the programming contest team.
  • On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is easy and 10 is hard
    • Word Cloud is rated 2.3
    • Fast Food Prizes is rated 2.2
