The following guideline was used to grade your work over 20:
| Points | |
|---|---|
| You submitted something | + 20 |
| You did not submit using D2L | − 2 |
It is not the right file (e.g., only the sln, or not a zip archive) |
− 19 or − 5 if the source code is present |
| The archive does not have the right name (i.e., “lname_fname.zip”) | − 2 |
| The project does not have the right name (i.e., “Project01”) | − 2 |
There are no delimited comments at the beginning with your name and the date (i.e., /*…*/) |
− 2 |
| Your program does not compile | − 15 |
| The variable for your username has the wrong type or value. | − 3 |
| The first message is not properly displayed. | − 3 |
| You are not correctly reading the height of the user. | − 3 |
| Your conversion from centimeters to feet and inches is off. | − 4 |
| The second message is not properly displayed. | − 3 |
| You added meaningful comments to your code. | + 1 |
Of course, I will use this table only as a guideline, and use my judgment to grade your work, but I believe it is useful for you to see where my expectations were.
Please, find a possible solution in this archive. The Program.cs file contains:
/*
* Clement Aubert
* 09/12/2020
* CSCI 1301 -- Project 1
*/
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
/* Display the information about us: */
string uName = "caubert";
Console.WriteLine(uName + " would like to know your height in meters. Please enter it: ");
/* Gather the information about the user :*/
double heightIncm; // We use a double to store the height in centimeters given by the user.
heightIncm = (double.Parse(Console.ReadLine()) * 100); // This line does a lot.
// 1. We read as a string the value entered,
// 2. We convert it to a double,
// 3. We multiply it by 100, to obtain centimeters instead of meters,
// 4. We assign the result to heightIncm.
/* Conversion */
double heightInin; // Variable to hold the height in inches
/*
* Conversion factor from cm to ft change with where you are!
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)#US_survey_foot
*
* In Georgia, we use the U.S. Survey feet
* https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/SPCS/images/spcs83_legislation_feet.png
*
* So,
* 1 ft = 0.304800609601 m
* 1 ft = 30.4800609601 cm
*
* But we will use anther way of computing the height.
* We will convert it to inches, using
* 1 in = 2.54 cm
* and then obtain the feet using
* 1 ft = 12 in
*/
heightInin = heightIncm / 2.54; // Store the height in inches of the user.
// The rest of the computation, and the truncation, will take place at the next step.
/* Displaying the result */
Console.WriteLine(
uName + " computed that your height is "
+ (int)(heightInin / 12) // Compute the number of feet, and truncate it.
+ " ft and "
+ (int)(heightInin % 12) // Compute the remainder of the previous operation, and truncate it.
+ " inches."
);
