Create a GradeBook class that calculates a grade-point average for a set of grades and displays
information. You can input A, a, B, b, C, c, D, d, F and f for grades. But the inputted data could also
be any characters, upper case, lower case or special character. The system should detect an improper
grade input and allow reentering information. The grade of A is worth 4 points, B is worth 3 points,
etc. You can use GradeBook program of Fig. 5.9–Fig. 5.11(attached) as a starting point.
The GradeBook class has the following methods and attributes.
1. The GradeBook class has 3 private data members, courseName, letterGrades and countGrades.
a. The courseName has a string data type. It stores course name information.
b. The letterGrades is a 100 elements character array. It stores all the inputs information
which include the letter grades and non-letter grade information. For example, if you put a,
$, a, C, 1, ! for the first 6 inputs the letterGrades first six elements should store A, $, A, C,
1, !.
c. The countGrades is a 6 elements integer array. It stores the number of each letter grade and
number of the error(s) input. For example, if you input 5 As, 6 Bs, 1 C, 2 Ds, 2 Es and 3
Fs, the countGrades array elements from 0 to 5 should contain 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 and 2.
2. It also has several public member functions, GradeBook, setCourseName, getCourseName,
initializeData, displayMessage, inputGrades, displayGradeReport, displayInputs,
calculateGrade and ~GradeBook.
a. The GradeBook function is a constructor. It takes a string and will initialize its data
members’ data. The constructor also displays information which includes “The Grade
Book Constructor is called", “*****The end of Grade Book Constructor.*****” and the
information in between these two statements.
b. The setCourseName function takes a string and does not return anything. This function sets
information for the string private data, courseName. It takes only the first 30 characters of
the input string. If the inputted string shorter than 30 it will take everything. If it is longer
than 30 it will keep the first 30 characters and truncate the rest of the information.

c. The getCourseName function returns the private data, courseName, information. It does
not accept any data.
d. The initializeData function does not take and return anything. It initializes the private data
members.
e. The displayMessage function does not take and return anything. It displays "Welcome to
the grade book for " information.
f. The inputGrades function does not take and return anything. It generates loops to get any
number(but it need to be less than 100) of proper data input. If the inputted data is not any
one of the following A, a, B, b, C, c, E, d, F, and f, the program will show “****Incorrect
letter grade entered.****” message. The loop will be ended by inputting Ctl + D, or Ctl + Z
( it depends on your computer system).
g. The displayGradeReport function does not accept and return any data. It displays “The
total number of students receive grades is ", "Number of students who received each letter
grade” and “The class average is’ information. The class average is displayed in one digit
double value.
h. The displayInputs function does not accept and return any data. It displays “The data
entered is listed at the following: " as a heading and all the grades (information) entered in a
4 in a row tabulate format.
i. The calculateGrade function does not accept any data but return a double value. This
function calculates the GPA (Grade Point Average) and return the data.
j. i.The ~GradeBook function is the destructor of the class. When it called it will clean up
the memory and displays “Destructor is called” message.
This assignment comes with a CISP400V9A3.zip file. It includes four files (CISP400V9A3.cpp,
CISP400V9A3.exe, GradeBook.cpp and GradeBook.h). The CISP400V9A3.exe file is an executable
file. You can double click the file to get to the expecting result (see the picture below) of this
assignment. The GradeBook.cpp and GradeBook.h are files coming from the textbook examples (Fig
5.9 and 5.10) which you can use so you don’t need to start from scratch. After you finish your
implementation for the GradeBook class, you can put the CISP400V9A3.cpp, GradeBook h
GradeBook.cpp in a project and then you should run to the same result as the CISP400V9A3.exe.
Please be awarded that you can adjust only your program (GradeBook h and GradeBook.cpp) to generate the
required result but not the code in CISP400V9A3.cpp file.
The following are the displays of the expecting results.

Create a GradeBook class that takes grades and student names and displays information in an arrange
way. The program also calculates a grade-point average for the inputted grades. You can input A, a,
B, b, C, c, D, d, F and f for grades. But the inputted data could also be any characters, upper case,
lower case or special character. The system should detect an improper grade input and allow
reentering information. The grade of A is worth 4 points, B is worth 3 points, etc. You can use
GradeBook program of Fig. 5.9–Fig. 5.11(attached) as a starting point.
The GradeBook class has the following methods and attributes.
1. The GradeBook class has 4 private data members, courseName, letterGrades, countGrades, and
studentName.
a. The courseName has a string data type. It stores course name information.
b. The letterGrades is a 100 elements character array. It stores all the inputs information
which include the letter grades and non-letter grade information. For example, if you put a,
$, a, C, 1, ! for the first 6 inputs the letterGrades first six elements should store A, $, A, C,
1, !.
c. The countGrades is a 6 elements integer array. It stores the number of each letter grade and
number of the error(s) input. For example, if you input 5 As, 6 Bs, 1 C, 2 Ds, 2 Es and 3
Fs, the countGrades array elements from 0 to 5 should contain 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 and 2.
d. The studentName is a 100 element pointer character array. It stores students’ names.
2. It also has several public member functions, GradeBook, setCourseName, getCourseName,
initializeData, displayMessage, inputData, inputGrades, displayGradeReport, displayGrade,
displayAllStudentsandGrades, calculateGrade, inputStudentName, displayStudentname, and
~GradeBook.
a. The GradeBook function is a constructor. It takes a string and will initialize its data
members’ data. The constructor also displays information which includes “The Grade
Book Constructor is called", “*****The end of Grade Book Constructor.*****” and the
information in between these two statements.
b. The setCourseName function takes a string and does not return anything. This function sets
information for the string private data, courseName. It takes only the first 30 characters of
the input string. If the inputted string shorter than 30 it will take everything. If it is longer
than 30 it will keep the first 30 characters and truncate the rest of the information.
c. The getCourseName function returns the private data, courseName, information. It does
not accept any data.
d. The initializeData function does not take and return anything. It initializes the private data
members.
e. The displayMessage function does not take and return anything. It displays "Welcome to
the grade book for " information.

f. The inputGrades function takes one integer and one character data and return an integer
data. It generates loops to get any number (but it need to be less than 100) of inputs of
proper grades and names. If the inputted grade is not any one of the following A, a, B, b, C,
c, E, d, F, and f, the program will show “****Incorrect letter grade entered.****” message.
The loop will be ended by inputting Ctl + D, or Ctl + Z (it depends on your computer
system). I use the input integer to control which array element to store the character, and
use the return integer to indicate a proper grade is set.
g. The displayGradeReport function does not accept and return any data. It displays “The
total number sets of data input is ", "The total number of error input is ", “The total number
of students receive grades is ", "Number of students who received each letter grade” and
“The class average is’ information. The class average is displayed in one digit double
value.
h. The calculateGrade function does not accept any data but return a double value. This
function calculates the GPA (Grade Point Average) and returns the data.
i. The ~GradeBook function is the destructor of the class. When it called it will clean up the
memory and displays “Destructor is called” message.
j. The inputData function does not take and return anything. It mainly to generate the “Enter
the letter grades…." screen and call the inputGrades and inputStudentName functions.
k. The displayAllStudentsandGrades function does not take and return anything. It displays
“The data entered is listed at the following: " as a heading, the students’ names and all the
grades (information) entered in a 4 in a row tabulate format.
l. The inputStudentName function takes an integer data and does not return any information.
The function displays “Enter a student name”, get the inputted name, store the name and
link the name to the studentName array. The integer argument is for indexing the array.
m. The displayStudentname function takes an integer data and does not return anything. It
displays the indexed student’s name. The integer argument is for indexing.
n. The displayGrade function takes an integer data and does not return anything. It displays
the indexed grade. The integer argument is for indexing.
The first screen of the
program before entering
any data should look like
the right side of picture..
