Final Problem #3
A school science
trip was scheduled for Cedar Point. The
idea was to check out the building structures of each of the coasters as well
as guesstimate the speed and g-force of each drop and loop respectively. The input file contains the ratings of the
coasters each student rode on. For each
coaster, determine the average speed and g-force. If none of the students rode that coaster,
output “no available data” for the data.
The possible coasters included:
Millennium Force
Top Thrill Dragster
Blue Streak
Mantis
Mean
Streak
Raptor
Wicked
Twister
Each student
created their own input file in the following format:
1st record = Name
(alphanumeric max length 20)
2nd record = Number of
coasters rode on (numeric max length 2)
Followed by a record for each coaster
rode on in the format:
Coaster name (alphanumeric
max length 20)
Average speed (numeric max
length 4 with 1 decimal point)
G-Force (numeric max length
2)
Options teacher
may choose to run the program:
1. merged the files
together (no sort)
2. merge the files
together sorted by coaster name
3. name the coasters with a numeric value from 1 to number of
coasters, then use option 1 or 2
