Assignment 14
Due Monday, March 5 at 9:20am on Canvas

Don't forget to do Activity 14.2 for homework!

Assignment 14.1: Lower and Upper Case (10 pts)
  • Let's write a program to do the following:
    • convert a string to all lower-case letters
    • convert a string to all upper-case letters
  • To approach this problem, we need to remember the ASCII table and how it works.
  • Recall that upper case letters have ASCII values between 65 and 90.
  • Lower case letters have ASCII values between 97 and 122.
  • Verify that these facts are correct by looking at the ASCII Table.
  • Finally, note that lower case 'a' is the integer number 97 and upper case 'A' is the integer number 65.
  • Therefore, there is a difference of 32 between the ASCII value of any lower case character and its upper case version.
  • We will use these facts to our advantage in this program.
  • Create a new file called upperLower.cpp.
  • Copy and paste the starter code below into your file:

/*
*name
*section
*/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main () { 

    string sentence;   

    return 0;

}


  • Add some code to welcome the user, prompt the user to enter a sentence and then store the sentence as a string variable.
  • Verify that your program compiles and runs.
  • Now, let's add some statements.
  • We will need to use a for loop, string indexing and our knowledge of ASCII to complete this task.
  • Write a for loop to cycle through our string variable that was passed in as a parameter to our function.
for (int i = 0; i < sentence.length(); i++) {
    //statements for string processing go in here
}
  • Inside the loop, we need to find out if this is a capital letter or not. We will use an if statement to test whether the ASCII value lies between 65 and 90.
if (sentence[i] >= 65 && sentence[i] <= 90) {//if this character is between 65 and 90, it is a capital

}
  • What should go inside the if statement?
  • Consider that each upper case character has an ASCII value that is 32 less than each lower case character.
  • So, if it is an uppercase letter, we will need to add 32 to its ASCII value and then convert it back to a char.
  • Add the below statements inside the curly braces of the if.
sentence[i] += 32;
//adding 32 to sentence[i]'s ASCII value
  • Now, run your program and verify that it works correctly by looking at the output of the test in main.
  • For the rest of the program, your job is to write the remaining for loop to convert the sentence to all upper case letters.
  • When you are finished, submit your work to Canvas.

Your output should look identical to the output below:

Please enter a sentence: I love cookies!
Your sentence in all upper case: I LOVE COOKIES!
Your sentence in all lower case: i love cookies!


Assignment 14.2: Valid Email Address? (10 pts)
  • Write a program that takes in an email address as a string and determines whether the email address is valid.
  • For the purposes of this assignment, we will use two criteria to determine if an email address is valid:
    • The address must end with one of the following extensions: .com, .org or .edu
    • The address must have an @ character contained somewhere in the string
    • The address must not contain a space.
  • Hint: Use a for loop combined with string indexing to test for the @ symbol and the space.
  • Copy and paste the starter code into a new file called email.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    string email;
    bool containsAt = false;
    bool containsSpace = false;
    bool validEmail = true;
   
    cout << "Please enter an email address: ";
    //read in the email address to the email variable
  

    //for loop to determine if email address contains a space
    for (int i = 0; i < email.length(); i++) {
        if (email[i] == ' ') {
            containsSpace = true;
        }
    }

    //Write a similar for loop to check for the at symbol

    if (containsSpace == true) {
        cout << "Your email address cannot contain a space." << endl;
        validEmail = false;
    }

    if (containsAt == false) {
        cout << "Your email address must contain an @ symbol." << endl;
        validEmail = false;
    }

    //Add if statement to check if email has correct extension

    if (validEmail == true) {
        cout << "Your email address is valid." << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "Your email address is not valid." << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
  • Fill in the missing parts of the program indicated by the comments.
  • Please do not make any other changes.
  • Your program must work identically to the sample output below.
  • When your program is giving the correct output, upload your source code to Canvas.
