HTW Berlin Fachbereich 4 Internationaler Studiengang Internationale Medieninformatik (Bachelor) Info 2: Informatik II Winter Term 2009/10

Lab exercises:

1. Write a method in C++ void removeSpaces (char* s) that removes all blanks in a char array s. For example, "a bb ccc d" will be changed "to abbcccd". Use pointers! Is there a difference in calling this with a string or a character array? Now overload removeSpaces and make it take an array of char arrays, and remove the spaces out of all elements of the array, using pointers.
2. Write a class Format that formats numbers right-justified and with a specific number of decimal places. How will you handle numbers less than 1, but greater than 0? Negative numbers? For example:
   
   Format f(12,3); // Output 12 characters wide, 3 decimal places
   
   // Using f
   cout << f.toString(789.90687) << endl;
   cout << f.toString(-123456789.45907) << endl;
   
   The result of the first line should be
        789.907
   and the second line (note that the number is too big!):
   -123456789.459
3. Write a good test harness to test your Format code.
4. Extend Format to a class Currency that outputs a currency symbol with the number. Note that they can either be before or after the number - how will you determine this? Write another test harness for the class Currency.
5. (For the bored) Extend Format to output number in scientific notation.
