Programming Logic & Design

Sequential Data Files Examples


Example #1 (Problem #1 Page 652)
a. Input names and three test scores of students from the user, terminated by "ZZZ",0,0,0, and
create a data file "grades" with records of the following form:

student_name (String), test_1 (Integer), test_2 (Integer), test_3 (Integer)

b. Display the contents of the file "grades" created in Part a. Each student’s record should
appear on a separate line and include the total score (the sum of the three tests) for that
student. For example, a line of output might be as follows:

R. Abrams 76 84 82 242

c. Modify the program of Part b so that at the option of the user, it displays either the entire
contents of the file "grades" or just the record of a specified student. In either case, for each
student displayed, also display his or her total test score.
Example #1 (Problem #1 Page 652) - Notes
• To_Integer() takes in a string and returns the integer number (e.g.
To_Integer("37") is 37)

• To_Float() takes in a string and returns the number (e.g.


To_Float("37.5") is 37.5)

• Get_Nth_String returns the nth string in a long string, separated by the


separator (e.g. Get_Nth_String("ab,cd,ef",",",2) is "cd"). It returns the
separator after the last separated string (e.g.
Get_Nth_String("ab,cd,ef",",",4) returns ",")
Example #2 (Problem #2 Page 652)
Assume that a file named "inventory", which contains the inventory of parts for the Legendary Lawn
Mower Company (from Section 10.5), already exists with records of the following form:

part_Number (Integer), part_Name (String), quantity (Integer)

Also assume that the records in this file are ordered by increasing part number. For each part of this
problem, write a program that performs the indicated task.

a. Input a part number from the user and delete the corresponding record from the "inventory" file.

b. Input a part number and a quantity from the user and modify the record corresponding to that
part number by changing the value of its last field to the quantity input.

c. Input a new part number, part name, and quantity from the user and insert the corresponding
record in the proper place in the "inventory" file.
