Step 1: Requirements: An Address Database |
||||
|
Create a C++ console application that will store and retrieve names and addresses in a text file. The program should do the following. 1. It should accept a series of names and addresses from the console. 2. The user's input should be written to a text file in the CSV format described in the lesson, but do not include the field names in the first row of the file. Use a delimiter to separate the records. 3. Read the records from the text file, and display them in a user-friendly format. 4. Provide a menu to allow the user to append records to the file, display the records, or exit the application. Build upon the code below to complete the assignment.

|
Step 2: Processing Logic |
||||
|
Using the pseudocode below, write the code that will meet the requirements. The pseudocode for the writeData function is shown below.
The program input should appear similar to this.
The file structure should look like this.
The file output should appear similar to the following.
|
||||
|
Step 3: Create a New Project |
||||
|
Create a new project and name it LAB7. Write your code using the processing logic in Step 2. Make sure you save your program. |
||||
|
Step 4: Compile and Execute |
||||
|
a) Compile your program. Eliminate all the syntax errors.
b) Build your program and verify the results of the program. Make corrections to the program logic, if necessary, until the results of the program execution are what you expect.
|
||||
|
Step 5: Print Screenshots and Program |
||||
|
1. Capture a screen print of your output. (Do a print screen and paste into an MS Word document.) 2. Copy your code and paste it into the same MS Word document that contains the screen print of your output. 3. Save the Word document as Lab07_LastName_FirstInitial.
