Final Exam Project Ideas

[Esuom]

Pre-Note : I am NOT asking you to do my exam. I am looking for ideas.

Ok, the final exam project for my C++ Class is open for me to do what I want within a few guidelines. I can't think of what I want to do so I am open to ideas. The requirements are...

There are minimal requirements for the project: switch, if/then/else, loop and counter.

The "sample" exams they give are...

* maintaining a checking/savings account
* writing a multiple choice test and give the final percentage score at the end. (at least 20 questions, with four multiple choices, that are all related to the same school subject)
* taking orders from customers for several items, figuring out the real costs and figuring the profits. You would need to have a list with customer names, how many of each item ordered, each customer's final charge and at the very end, display the profits.

Any ideas?

I would just do the number 2 sample... Its pretty easy, plenty of room to do what you want.... Plus, you can code it in many ways from shit to really good, and you could impress your teacher if you did it well...

Number 2... super easy lol

#include <iostream.h>
main(){
char input;
cout << "lolz wutz teh answer" << endl;
cin >> input;
}

hooray you're pretty much done. Just do that times 20 and use stcmp() or whatever that thing is. I'm 13 I wish I had programming as a course it would be a breeze.

Actually just doing that 20 times would be a terribly poor way of accomplishing it although it would work.

I disagree with SuF(Yes I can not read and put Swan instead.... Even though he is not even a programming mod any more!!!!) about using the second choice from the examples because it's far too easy for the most part and you won't gain much from it. It'll be boring and pretty much useless for the most part.

My best recommendation to you would be to try and think of something somewhat useful/practical that you could realistically make for the exam project, you'd learn far more than using the usual generic project ideas as well as feel much better about the final product knowing it isn't just a file of code that completely wasted your time. If you fail to think of something better, then I'd say go with #1 or #3 as a last resort since they do somewhat lead into basic real world practical uses of programming.

Sir Null, I != Swan.... ...

The 2nd is easiest... But you can also get quite complicated with it... The other two are more practical but if your like me and school, I try to do the least work possible....

Lmao, nerd


Yea, I am going to do #2 this weekend. It looks easy and should only take a little bit.

Well I would suggest an ordering program.

User inputs info and orders what they want ( maybe from pizza shop )
make it loop until they are completely done ordering
ask if cash or credit
if credit, have another program establish credit and cin the file information from other prog.

etc, etc, etc

Thats gunna be mine. Going to be fun
