Lecture Topic #1: Introduction
to Arrays |
|
An array holds multiple data items, each
of which must be the same data type.
Information from the discussion
Sequential Search
Code from discussion
States.txt (data file) |
Lecture Topic #2: Parallel Arrays |
|
If you have different types of data, for example
characters for customer names and numeric data for
balances, you can use one array for the names and
another for the balances and have the same position in
each array relate to an individual customer.
Code from discussion
|
LECTURE TOPIC #3: Array of Records |
|
A better way is to create a structured
'record' that
contains all the information for a single customer. Then
create an array of records. Then the array can be all of
the same data type - the customer record.

Tax Estimator sample C++ code
Tax
Estimator sample C code
HINTS: The lab project requires that you implement
Standard Deductions using an array. I suggest that you modify the function:
double
inputDeductions(int taxpayerStatus)
- Ask the user to select either Standard Deduction or Itemized Deduction
- If itemized deductions are selected, the use the rest of the code in the function that asks for the amount of the deductions, then reads the amount of deductions from the keyboard.
- If standard deductions are selected, use the TaxPayerStatus (known
as s in the inputDeductions function) to lookup the deductions
from the array you create for standard deductions. You only need to
create a single-dimensional array of type double that contains the amount
of standard deductions. NOTE: the actual TaxPayerStatus has a value
from 1 to 5 and arrays are indexed starting at 0. You need to make some
adjustment when indexing into the array.
Try to complete the modifications to the Tax Estimator program on your own.
You will learn a lot this way. If you are still having a problem, consult
the FAQ.
