Week 7: Program Construction

Code Management and Modularity 

Scenario and Summary

This week, we learn how to manage complexity by putting together a ready-built application that comprises a number of separate header and source files. Our job here will be to take these individual files and combine them into one standalone application. Although the process is quite a simple one, it will emphasize the advantage of modularity when writing code. It also shows how code can be reused between programmers and/or applications.

STEP 1: Create the   Project

1. Create a new C++ console-based project.

STEP 2: Add Files to   Your Project

1. Unzip the source code and header files found in Doc      Sharing (Lab_7_files.zip), and then add these files to your project as      needed.

STEP 3: Build and Test

1. Build your project (compile your program). 
2. Eliminate all syntax errors. 
3. Run the program. 

STEP 4: Label Title
