C++ help with a problem-structs this time
QuestionEdit
Hi I am back with the second go round with this problem-this time including structs and strings. I have done what I can with the info/assignment and now I am stuck. I appreciate your time and help!Thanks
DIRECTIONS:
OBJECTIVE: Compute a student's percentage grade and then assign the appropriate letter grade. Perform the computations for up to 30 students and produce a report ( to a file ) in the format shown in the sample below. (THIS WAS LAB 2 ASSIGNMENT. LAB THREE CONTINUES BELOW This time use an array of structs to hold the student data. Add features to allow reports to be generated to the screen or file that sort by Name or by Percent Grade
-INCLUDE ABOVE MAIN:
Struct student Char FirstName[15]; char LastName[20]; float PercentGrade; char LetterGrade;
-Make sure to have the name broke into two name fields first, and last.
-typedef struct student STUDENT
-use case statements
-create menu such as:
Grade Machine
1. Enter Students 2. Display By Name to Screen 3. Display By GPA to Screen 4. Write By Name to File 5. Write By GPA to File 0. Exit
-Call in pairs, 1 to call, and 1 to reorder
INPUT:
Student Name 8 labs 3 exams 1 final
COMPUTATIONS:
The percentage grade is equal to the sum of:
-- the average of 8 labs with a 40% weight -- the average of 3 exams with a 40% weight -- the final exam with a 20% weight
LOGIC: 94-100 A 85-93 B 75-84 C 65-74 D BELOW 65 F
OUTPUT:
GRADE REPORT
NAME % GRADE LETTER GRADE

AnswerEdit
Hello Shannon.
I think you make a good start on your program, but some parts were incomplete and did not compile. You did a good job on the sort routines, but you seem to have trouble with input. I've done what I can to give you a working program. The program does not do everything that the assignment asks for. Have a look at my program, and read the comments in it. Then make changes so that it does what you need.
I made the enterStudents function read from the keyboard. It was not clear to me if input should come from the keyboard, or a file, or both.
The writeStudents function still needs to be done.

From the different cases, call the function or set of functions that
