CST 8110 - Assignment 12

Last revised: Sunday September 27, 1998 01:06.

The listing of this program is due in my assignment box by 10:45am Friday, July 18.

All assignments are evaluated based on their neatness and how closely they follow the assignment submission guidelines published in the online course notes.

Purpose and Instructions

This program demonstrates your ability to write functions taking multiple arguments and returning a single value. To do this assignment correctly, you must read and understand the Chapter 3 sections dealing with Functions With Multiple Arguments and also Functions Returning A Value. The David Bray Blue Book summarizes how functions work on p.15-21.

Assignment: Write a program for problem #10 on page 137 of the textbook.

Notes:

• The problen requires one function. What are the inputs to the function? What is the single output from the function? Be clear on this before you start writing code.
• Follow the Algonquin standard for coding functions exactly. Refer to the CST 8110 Blue Book.
• Use better variable names than those given in the problem question.
• Test the your program using input values for a triangle whose area you know (e.g. a 3,4,5 triangle).

Evaluation

The aggregate of all assignment marks comprises 25% of your final mark. All assignments must be completed satisfactorily to get credit for the course, even if the assignments are submitted too late to receive a mark. (See the course outline.)

Late assignments are handled according to the policy given in the course outline.
