Assignment 2:
Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand, Part 2
Due Week 9 and worth 160 points
Use the concepts and scenario from
Assignment 1 to help Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand increase the functionality of
its online shopping cart. When a customer checks out, the shopping cart must
store the required data pertaining to each item the customer is buying. Your
job is to design a program that will prompt the user for the required data and
then store it. The required data includes the item name, the price per pound,
and the number of pounds of that item being purchased. When complete, your
program should include three (3) arrays, two (2) loops, one (1)and / or conditional statement, and one (1) variable.
Using Visual Logic, design a flowchart that is also a
fully functional program to add functionality to the online shopping cart.
According to your design, the program must:
1.
Continually
accept data regarding the purchase of fruit as specified below until the user
enters a sentinel value, or until five (5) items are entered, whichever comes
first.
2.
Prompt the user
for each item and accept the name of the fruit (e.g., “dried apples”), the
price per pound, and the number of pounds sold in a month.
3.
Store the
required data in three (3) arrays (e.g., one (1) for the item name, one (1) for
the price per pound, and one (1) for the number of pounds being purchased) with
corresponding index values. Note: For example, index value 3,
when applied to the “itemName” array, would give us the name of the third item
that the customer is buying. That same index value of 3, when applied to the
“pricePerPound” array, would give us the price per pound of that same third
item that the customer is buying.
4.
Store up to
five (5) values in each of the three (3) arrays.
5.
Provide
functionality in which the user ends the program by typing a sentinel value,
and the program tells the user what the sentinel value is. Note: An
acceptable message may read “Type n to end the program.”, where “n” is the
sentinel value. If the user does not end the program in this way, then the
program ends when it has collected the data for five (5) items.
6.
Print an
itemized receipt with the following data after the last item in the purchase
has been saved to the array.
o Item name
o Price per pound of each item
o Number of pounds purchased of each item
o Subtotal price for each item, calculated as price per pound multiplied
by the number of pounds
o Total weight of the entire order (in pounds)
o The cost of shipping which is based on the total weight of the entire
order, calculated as 50 cents per pound. Note: For example, if
the entire order weighs seven (7) pounds, the cost of shipping would be $3.50.
o Grand total price of all items and shipping.
Note: Use the
“console” option in the output command to accomplish this task. An example of
an acceptable output has been provided below:
