CSCI 116

Project #1

Purpose: to become familiar with the process of editing, compiling, and running a C++ program. In this project, you will type in a given program, compile and run it, concatenate the output of the program to your program listing, and print the listing for turn-in. You need to make sure that you have mastered this process before the next assignment because you will be expected to do it for the rest of the projects.

Program objective: This program will ask the user for his or her name, reverse it, and print it out again.

Instructions: Type the following program using the program editor, and then save it to a file. Compile the program, run it, and capture the output in a file. Append the file as comments to the source code. Print out the source code, and hand it in by class time of the due date.

// Program #1: Getting started

// Original Author: Don Allison

// Modified by: (your name goes here!)

// Date Due: 30 January 2012

//

// This object of this program is to verify that we can compile and

// execute programs using a C++ compiler. It asks the user for his

// name and then prints it back out reversed.

#include <iostream>

#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

char name[120];

int i;

cout << "Type your name and hit return: ";

// cin.getline instead of cin to handle blanks in name

cin.getline(name, 80);

cout << "Hi, " << name << endl;

cout << "Your name backwards is ";

// now print out in reverse one letter at a time

for (i=(int)strlen(name)-1; i>=0; i--)

cout << name[i];

cout << endl;

cout << "All done now!\n";

// if running in debugger, need cin.get(name[0]) here to see output

return 0;
