Programming Assignment #3

Due Sept. 19
Modify your program for assignment #2 as follows:
  1. Create a function called error() that takes as a parameter a string, then prints out "Error: ", the string, pauses so the user can read the string, and then exits the program. Note: we wrote the error function in class today, here it is: error.cc.
  2. Check all input values to the program using "if" statements, calling error() if the input value is bad. The parameter to error() should be a string describing the problem with the input value, such as "age should be between 1 and 99", or "age must be a positive number".
To hand in:
  • Demo the running program to the TA.
  • Hand in a printout of your program.
