Rent a programmer...

[Phailak]

Hail,

For those with low ethics, I have a friend that needs a really simple C++ project completed for a course and I only know VB myself. Anyone care to help out for some quick cash and/or point to somewhere where this can be accomplsihed...

Project to finish

In this assignment you will create a program that manipulates 2 files off of one “database”. Efficiency is the keyword in this project. No repetitive code or unnecessary variables should be used, while keeping a high level of user-friendliness. Through a menu you will be given the options of entering a new student, deleting a current student, editing their marks, and viewing a listing of students either in alphabetical order by last name, or from highest to lowest grade average (you must enter 3 marks). The class Node will be used to store the information:

Lastname of the student. (Any names…)
Firstname of the student. (Any names…)
Midterm grade.
Assignment 1 grade.
Assignment 2 grade.

The average should not be a stored value, but calculated on the fly.
When the program is run it will read all of the students’ records into memory (List of Nodes) but even though we will be producing 2 files, read in only off of one and use only one list in memory.
I will not limit the use of those pointer things but I’m sure less is easier for me to follow.

Use filestream techniques to read and write to the files (no fread, fwrite). Use type definitions and error-checking technique to assure a smooth running program. The use of gotoxy(x-position,y-position) to create the user interface surely creates a more efficient screen presence (and because I’m boss, that’s how I want it done).

When you hand this in to me I expect it to include the two files “names.txt” and “grades.txt” but DO NOT HARD CODE THE NAMES!! I saw this too often in the previous job. These files should have records of all you fellow students (or friends) on them.


Please quote time and price...

chech out planetsourcecode.com ull find someone there(this sounds like a job that is so easy that it should only cost like 10 dollars, and NO ONE wants to handle a contract and credit card and all that for $10) but goodluck.

Au Revoir

I want to add that this teacher must be an a$$!

The use of gotoxy(x-position,y-position) to create the user interface surely creates a more efficient screen presence (and because I’m boss, that’s how I want it done).

Nooooooooo....
gotoxy is a borland-specific function, not available under VC++ (and neither Dev-C++ I think).
Aaaaaah...

What, you want the user to input the filenames?

Im confused... "pointer things" in the same project where lists are required? Is this teach brain dead?

Definitly!

No boss may tell a programmer how to do something, or we get Dilbert situations.

Thanks for the replies guys, can't answer any of the questions as I do not know the teacher or what the hell the project is for. From your responses though I assume it is very basic C++
Anyway, he'll check planetsource code out and we'll see I guess...

[CornedBee]

He should add more info on how those files are organized, people appreciate having as much info as possible from the beginning.

Stuff like this makes me half want to teach =).
