Programming Project 4: Days Out
Concepts tested in this project
· Learn to organize code within a function
· Learn to pass data to and return data from a function
· Use of loops
· Use of output file processing
Project Description
Write a program that calculates the average number of days a company's employees are absent during the year and outputs a report on a file named "employeeAbsences.txt".
Project Specifications
Input for this project:
· The user must enter the number of employees in the company.
· The user must enter as integers for each employee:
· The employee number (ID)
· The number of days that employee missed during the past year.
Input Validation:
· Do not accept a number less than 1 for the number of employees.
· Do not accept a negative number for the days any employee missed.
· Be sure to print an appropriate e
or message if either of these rules is violated and require the user to re-enter until they get it right.
· The program must end when the data for the last employee has been entered and the report file has been written.
Output: The program should display the following data:
· Each employee number (ID) and the number of days missed should be written to the report file named "employeeAbsences.txt".
· The average number of days a company's employees are absenting during the year should be calculated and written to the report file named "employeeAbsences.txt".
· The programmer’s name and the project due date should be displayed after the program runs.
Processing Requirements
Create the following three functions that will be called by the main function:
1. A first function asks a user for the number of employees in the company. This value should be returned as an int. The function accepts no arguments.
2. A second function that does the following:
· Asks the user to enter the following information for each employee:
· The employee number (ID). Assume the employee number (ID) is 4 digits or fewer, but don't validate it.
· The number of days that employee missed during the past year.
· Writes each employee number (ID) and the number of days missed to the output file.
· Returns the total of missed days as an int.
· The function accepts two arguments:
· The name of the file stream object as a reference parameter of type ofstream, and
· The number of employees in the company as int.
3. A third function calculates the average number of days absent.
· The function takes two arguments:
· The number of employees in the company
· The total number of days absent for all employees during the year.
· The function should return, as a double, the average number of days absent.
· This function does not perform screen or file output and does not ask the user for input.
Sample Screen Output:
Sample File Output:
Answer question in word document :
· Create flowchart for the Program.
· Create C++ file (source code) cpp.
· Create output file called employeeAbsences.txt
· Pseudocode
· Test plan (table) with at least two different test cases with the co
esponding output files and screenshots supporting each test case
· Lessons Learned Section describing any issues you experienced during work on the project and how you solved them.
Note :
The program project needs to project description. Provide any additional comments as necessary to clarify the program.
Following is a template of the required program header:
Comments: Add comment to variables, formulas, or any part of the program with the purpose of making the source code easier to understand.
Indentation: It must be consistent throughout the program and must reflect the control structure.
Proper naming conventions: Variable, file object, and function names need to be descriptive to show the role of the variable, file, or function. Avoid single letter names. Constant names should be all upper-case, variable names should use “camel case” (i.e. start with lower case, with subsequent words starting with upper case: hoursWorked for example) or underscores to separate words (e.g. items_ordered).
