10 Before Class: complete exercise 5.43 (Sample Answer) from the book, page 264. Write a program (Sample Answer) that reads a series of floating-point numbers from a text file named “numbers.txt” and display on the screen the largest number, the smallest number, and average of the series. Write a program (Sample Answer) that reads integers from the keyboard. The program should keep track of the count of entries equalling 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, respectively, as well as the count of entries that don’t equal any of the above. After the user finishes entering data, the program should output a histogram of the results to a file.

Example input:

2 44 5 6 6 2 7 4 2 2 8 9 9 15 0 1 1 8 3 5 2 0

Example output, written to a file:

11 Before Class: Write a single program (Sample Answer) that combines the requirements of exercises 6.29 and 6.30 from the book, page 307. Complete exercise 6.44 (Sample Answer) from the book, page 308. Complete exercise 6.52 (Sample Answer) from the book, page 309. Nov. 15 12
12 Before Class: Write a program (Sample Answer) that extracts 3 values as input and prints the largest. The program must use two functions in addition to main(), one which prompts for and reads the input, and another which determines the largest value. Complete exercise 7.14 (Sample Answer) on page 358 (the referred program is on page 324), and exercise 7.26 (Sample Answer) on page 361. Nov. 22 13
13 Before Class: write a test program and the implementation (Sample Answer) for a class called date with the following definition:
/*
    date.h
*/

#ifndef DATE_H_
#define DATE_H_

class date {
    public:
        date();
        date(int d, int m, int y);
        void print();
        void tomorrow();
    private:
        int day;    // 1-31
        int month;  // 1-12
        int year;  
};

#endif

Complete exercise 8.14 (Sample Answer) on pages 398-399.

 Nov. 29 14
14 Before Class: Write a program (Sample Answer) that will read up to 100 integers from keyboard input and store it in an array. Print out the largest and the smallest value; the values should be the result of two distinct and separate functions—one to find the largest, one to find the smallest.
Write a program (Sample Answer) that reads a string from the keyboard and stores it in a “c-style” string. Print out the length of the c-style string; the length should be the result of a separate function that finds the length of a c-style string based on the NUL ('\0') character.
Write a program (Sample Answer) that randomly initializes an array of 20 integers, then receives user input from the keyboard. The program then searches the array to see if the user input matches an initialized value. If the value is matched, the program displays the location of the matching value in the array; if the value is not matched, the program indicates this as well.		 Dec. 6 15
