[Solved] Objective Purpose Lab Project Expose Selection Enforce Loops Expand Skills Write Larger Pr Q37298683

Objective:

The purpose of this lab project is toexpose you to selection, to enforce Loops, and to expand yourskills to write larger programs.

Problem Specification:

Write a C++ program to calculate astudents GPA for the semester. The program should accept astudent’s name(string), ID number(integer) and the number ofcourses he/she is taking, then for each course the following datais needed

• Course number (a string) e.g. BU 101
• Course credits (an integer).
• Grade received for the course “a character”.

The program should display thestudent’s name, ID number, the total number of credits for thesemester, and grade point average for the semester. A warningmessage should be also printed if the GPA is less than 2.0 and acongratulatory message if the GPA is 3.0 or above.

Requirements:     

• Input student’s name, ID number, course number, number ofcredits for the course and grade using proper prompts.
• Use a prompt loop to repeat for multiple students until ‘N’ or‘n’ is entered in response to the prompt.
• Add comments to identify the variables used.
• Create constants representing the points for each grade.

• A              4 points
• B              3 points
• C              2points
• D              1 points
• F               0 points

• Calculate using the constants you defined, and whatever datathe user enters.
• Use at least 4 functions.
• Include data validation for all data entered  

IDRange                 0-9999

Number of courses   0 –5

Grades are              A, B, C, D, F.

• Have your program print proper identifying messages for theoutput.
• Output the report as specified above.
• Comment thoroughly and use function specifications.

Grading criteria:

5 points   Proper comments,spacing, naming of variables, and general program appearance.

5 points   Constants aredefined correctly and appropriately used.

5 points   All data isentered and has proper prompts.

5 points   Method is use toconvert character entry to upper case.

5 points   ID range isvalidated, and a loop repeats until a valid ID# is entered.

5 points   Grades arevalidated, and a loop repeats until A,B,C,D, or F is entered.

5 points   A loop continuesuntil ‘N’ or ‘n’ is entered

5 points   Number of coursestaking is validated and a loop repeats until a valid number isentered.

5 points A for loop repeats for eachstudent to handle data entry for each course.

10 points Appropriate pass by valueand pass by reference.

5 points   Titles areincluded and are appropriate.

5 points A message is printed

5 points   Every functionhas specifications.

5 points   At least 4functions are used.

5 points   A flowchart ofthe function main () is handed-in detailed and is correct.

5 points   Hierarchicalchart is included and is correct.

10 points   Program runscorrectly and produces the intended results.

5 points   Test runs toaccount for all outcomes are submitted.

The language is C++, withoutarrays
