C++ Programming,

Each function should be placed in a file of its own, called function-x-x.cpp, where x-x refers to the problem number. Note that you have to write the main function and call each of these functions with some parameters to ensure they work! The matching main function must be placed in a file called main-x-x.cpp.

1-3* You are writing a "pretty printer" program that prints out student transcripts for all students enrolled in a degree. The students and their grades are encoded in the same three array combination used in 1-2.

!! Give a  program that obtains the values for the courses, students, and report_card arrays from the standard input. In your program, you will need to focus also on usability: as you can imagine, it will get pretty tedious to input a large number of students, so designing and implementing the best text-based interface is important!

Makefile practice: For this programme, write a Makefile that compiles the code for you. When you type 'make', your program should be recompiled to a new executable only if the source code has changed.

Redirection testing: Unix provides a handy way to take input from a file and give it to a program on standard input. Let's say your program us called pretPrint. You create a text file, let's call it printTest.txt, that contains the values for the courses, students, and report_card arrays that you would usually have to type in. Now we can use the "<" operator to tell Unix to take the contents of the file and connect it to the standard input of your program, like this.

./pretPrint < printTest.txt

You can probably see that, with the automation provided by Makefiles, and the ability to capture text to put back in to a program as if you typed it, you can write make commands that will allow you to test your code very easily.
