Activecode Exercises¶
Answer the following Activecode questions to assess what you have learned in this chapter.
Let’s write the code for the struct definition of Song
.
The Song structure will have the instance variables string title,
string artist, string album, and int year in that order.
Below is one way to define the struct definition of Song
.
In main, create a Song object called fly
which holds
the data for Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” from his 1964 album “It Might as Well Be Swing”.
Below is one way to create the object in the main function.
Let’s write the code for the printSong
function. printSong
takes a Song as a parameter and prints out the instance variables
in the following format: “title” by artist (album, year).
Below is one way to write the printSong function.
Let’s write the code for the struct definition of Unicorn
.
The Unicorn structure will have the instance variables name,
age, hornLength, hairColor, and isSparkly in that order. A Unicorn’s
horn length is measured to the nearest tenth of a unit.
Below is one way to define the struct Unicorn
.
Let’s write the code for the convertToHumanAge
function. convertToHumanAge
takes a Unicorn as a parameter and returns the equivalent human age.
If a unicorn is sparkly, then its equivalent human age is three times its age in unicorn years
plus the length of its horn. If a unicorn is not sparkly, then its equivalent human age is
four times its age in unicorn years plus twice the length of its horn.
Below is one way to write the convertToHumanAge function.
Let’s write the code for the unicornPower
function. unicornPower
takes a Unicorn as a parameter and
sets isSparkly to true and changes the color to rainbow.
Below is one way to write the unicornPower function.
Let’s write the code for the struct definitions of Address
and Employee
.
The Address structure will have the instance variables houseNumber,
state (abbreviation), and postalAddress in that order. The Employee
structure will be a nested structure with the instance variables name
and Address address in that order.
Below is one way to define the Address
and Employee
structs.
Let’s write the code for the printAddress
function. printAddress takes
an Employee as a parameter and should print out the information of the employee in the
following format: name (id) lives at houseNumber in state, postalAddress.
Below is one way to write the printAddress function
Sometimes employees will move around and thus we’ll need to update their addresses.
Let’s write the code for the updateAddress
function. updateAddress takes an
Employee and a new Address as parameters and sets the employee’s address to the new address.
Below is one way to write the updateAddress
function.
Let’s write the code for the storeEmployeeData
function. storeEmployeeData doesn’t
take any parameters and prompts the user for information regarding their
name, house number, state, and postal code. It then returns an Employee object with
the stored data. Declare all variables before prompting the user.
Below is one way to write the storeEmployeeData
function.
