Define a new struct data type “Student” to represent a student record.
Develop a C++ program that reads the student’s name and scores from the attached data file “students.txt” and store them in an array of Student struct objects, then calculate and display each student’s final grade based on the following criteria: midterm exam is counted for 25% of the final grade, final exam is counted for 25% of the final grade and average of 4 labs is counted for 50% of the final grade.
-
The format of the attached data file “students.txt” is ---
//student name
// midterm exam score, final exam score
// lab1 score, lab2 score, lab3 score, lab4 score
-
Define a new struct data type “Student” to represent a student record.
-
Each student’s record should be read from the data file “students.txt” and stored in a variable of Student struct.
-
Create an array of Student struct with size of 24, save all student struct records in this array.
-
Define a function “calculateGrade(…)” which:
-
Needs a Student struct record as parameter.
-
Calculate this student’s final grade (numeric score).
-
Return this student’s final grade (numeric score).
-
-
All data members in the struct should be public.
- No non-constant data should be declared globally
