    This document provides instructions for a programming task to create a basic menu system for a music player using Ruby. Students are asked to: 1. Create a maintain_albums procedure using a repeat-until loop to display a sub-menu, read the user's selection using a case statement, and call corresponding procedures to handle each selection. 2. Create stub procedures for each sub-menu option that display a message before returning to the calling menu. 3. Submit the Ruby source code and a screenshot of it running for assessment.

    Introduction to Programming
    Tutorial Task 3.2: Simple Menu
    Overview
    In this task you combine control flow with modularization to create the basis of a menu system
    for a text-based (terminal based) Music player.
    Purpose: Learn to combine control flow and modularisation.
    Task: Create a program that implements a basic menu system.
    Time: This task should be completed before the start of week 6.
    Resources: ■ Using a case statement in Ruby
    § Chapters 6 and 8 of ‘Learn to Program’
    Chapt 6: Flow Control

    Chapt 8: Writing Your Own Methods

    Note: Remember to submit all tasks to Doubtfire for assessment. Also make sure you
    fix and resubmit any tasks you did not get signed off last week!

    Submission Details
    You must submit the following files to Doubtfire:
    ■ SimpleMenu program source code.

    ■ A screen shot of the program running

    Make sure that your task has the following in your submission:
    ■ Demonstrates use of Ruby programming convention, including indentation within selection
    and repetition statements.
    ■ Demonstrates use of a case statement to perform selection, and a repeat until loop to perform
    repetition.

    Instructions
    Modify a small program that will give the user the following options:
    1. Enter or update an album
    2. Play an existing album
    3. Exit the system
    1. Download and extract the resources for this task.
    2. Open simple_menu.rb using Atom (or similar).
    3. Implement a maintain_albums procedure with the following logic:
    ■ A repeat-until loop with the following:
    ■ Display the sub-menu options and prompt the user to select one
    ■ Read in the user selection and then use a case statement to call a procedure that
    corresponds to the selection (or leave the loop if they chose exit)
    ■ The called procedure should display a message to user about the option. You do not
    need to implement the procedure at this stage, just leave it as a ‘stub’ (a placeholder
    procedure/function) that displays a message.

    Create a stub (a placeholder procedure/function) for main


    menu option 1.

    Steps:

    1: The program displays the menu options:


    ‘Main Menu: Enter your selection:'
    '1 To Enter or Update Album'
    '2 To Play Existing Album'
    '3 Exit'

    2: The program displays the sub-menu options:


    ‘Sub Menu Maintain Albums: Enter your selection:'
    '1 To Update Album Title'
    '2 To Update Album Genre’
    ‘3 To Enter Album
    '4 Return to Main Menu'

    3: For each sub-menu option you need to create/write a


    stub (a placeholder procedure/function).

    Each stub should display a message, wait until the user


    presses enter, then return to the calling menu or sub-
    menu.

    NB: Use the stub play_existing_album() as an example for the other stubs.

    The output of this program might look as follows:

    (NB: be careful, you should NOT be calling main() from the


    submenus!)
