3. Objectives of the Workshop :
This workshop has two main objectives:
1) create a C++ programming environment
i. You may download and install Embarcadero Dev C++ or Codeblocks
ii. On your desktop create a folder called “C++ Projects”
iii. Writing a C++ program involves the following steps:
a) Write the C++ source code
- Type a new program in a text editor or edit an existing program and
store it on your hard drive with a name ending with the .cpp extension.
b) Compiling the program
- Compiling involves the following stages: preprocessing, compilation,
assembly, and linking.
● Preprocessing: Uses a processor directive (e.g # include) to include
external files before processing.
● Compilation: This second phase of the compiling process takes the
output of the preprocessor and the source code, and generates the
assembler source code (or assembly code).

GUIDE DU TUTEUR
Assembler checks syntax errors and report to the programmer
● Assembly: Here the program is translated into an equivalent
assembly language program and finally to actual machine instruction
(or object code).
● Linking: Here, the linker links the object code with the references to
functions defined in the standard libraries to generate the executable
code
● Loading: This is the last phase prior to program execution. The
loader transfers the executable file from the disk to the memory,
together with additional components from shared libraries that
support the program.
c) Running or Executing the program.
- The CPU executes each C statement sequentially.
- If the program requires any data from the user (input), the execution is
temporarily suspended for the input to be entered. Alternatively, the
program might simply wait for an event such as mouse click to occur
before it can continue.
- Results displayed by the program (output) appears in a command
window also known as the console output.
The above steps are summarized in the diagram below:

2) To create a modular application called “Converter application” following the top-down

design model.

To program C++ using VS Code follow the links below:

1) VS Code for C++
2) msys2 download

4. Create the modules (header files)
NOTE: I used Embarcadero Dev C++ to generate the code for the exercises. You can any IDE to
obtain the same result.
By the time of creation of this PROSIT, Dev C++ was at version 6.3, you may be using a higher
version by this time. However, the code will still run without any modifications.

A) Temperature module:
- Convert the temperature from degree celsius (°C) to degree fahrenheit (°F)
9
- Formula: F = C + 32, where F = temperature in Fahrenheit, C = temperature in Celsius
5
- Save this module as a temperature.h file in your “C++ Projects” folder created on your
desktop

B) Mass-Energy module:
- Convert mass to energy
- Formula: E = mc 2, where E= energy in joules(J), m = mass in kilogram(kg), and c = speed
of light in air (m/ s2)
- Save this module as energy.h in your “C++ Projects” folder

C) Age module:
- Converts your age into seconds
- Formula: sec = age(years) x 365(days) x 24(hours) x 60(min) x 60(s)
= age(years) x 31 536 000, where age = your age in years, sec = your age in
Seconds. Let k = 31 536 000 be a constant. Hence,
sec = age x k
- Save this module as age.h in your “C++ Projects” folder
Note: You can use the skeleton source code provided in the resources.

5. Create the application which will include all the various modules
Note:
Create a menu application which will prompt the user to select the type of converter to use.
Hint: Use a switch construct to create your menu.
Example of menu:

GUIDE DU TUTEUR
1)
2)
Include all header files:
Define the main() function:
Fig 1.1

3) Use the switch construct in the main() function to design your menu
4) Compile and run the converter.cpp application 😊
