Question

In this module, you learned about Arrays in C++ and how to implement arrays within your C++ programs.

For this assignment, you will implement your knowledge of arrays for Michigan Popcorn Company’s sales management system.

Write a program that lets the Michigan Popcorn Company keep track of their sales for seven different types of popcorn they produce: plain, butter, caramel, cheese, chocolate, turtle and zebra.

It should use two parallel seven-element arrays: an array of strings that holds the seven popcorn names and an array of integers that holds the number of bags of popcorn sold during the past month for each popcorn flavor. The names should be stored using an initialization list at the time the flavors array is created.

The program should prompt the user to enter the number of bags sold for each flavor. Once the popcorn data has been entered, the program should produce a report for each popcorn type, total sales, and the names of the highest selling and lowest selling products. Be sure to include comments throughout your code where appropriate.

Answer 1

 #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main(){ string Names[]={"plain","butter","caramel","cheese","chocolate","turtle","zebra"}; int bags[7]; int highst=-1,lowst=100000000; int index=0,ind2=0; //Taking input of number of sales of each popcorn type for(int i=0;i<7;i++){ cout<<"Input the number of bags of "<<Names[i]<<" popcorn sold"<<"\n"; cin>>bags[i]; //Saving the index of highest selling product if(bags[i]>highst) { highst=bags[i]; index=i; } //Saving the index of lowest selling product if(bags[i]<lowst) { lowst=bags[i]; ind2=i; } } //Report cout<<"REPORT:"<<"\n"; for(int i=0;i<7;i++){ cout<<Names[i]<<" popcorn :"<<"Total sales = "<<bags[i]<<"\n"; } cout<<"HIGHEST SELLING PRODUCT : "<<Names[index]<<" popcorn"<<"\n"; cout<<"LOWEST SELLING PRODUCT : "<<Names[ind2]<<" popcorn"<<"\n"; }
