Assignment 2:
Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand, Part 2

Due Week 9 and worth 160 points
Use the concepts and scenario from Assignment 1 to
help Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand increase the functionality of its online
shopping cart. When a customer checks out, the shopping cart must store the
required data pertaining to each item the customer is buying. Your job is to
design a program that will prompt the user for the required data and then store
it. The required data includes the item name, the price per pound, and the
number of pounds of that item being purchased. When complete, your program
should include three (3) arrays, two (2) loops, one (1)and / or conditional statement, and one (1)
variable.
Using
Visual Logic, design a flowchart that is also a fully functional program to add
functionality to the online shopping cart. According to your design, the
program must:
1.
Continually accept data regarding the purchase of fruit as specified
below until the user enters a sentinel value, or until five (5) items are
entered, whichever comes first.
2.
Prompt the user for each item and accept the name of the fruit (e.g.,
“dried apples”), the price per pound, and the number of pounds sold in a month.
3.
Store the required data in three (3) arrays (e.g., one (1) for the item
name, one (1) for the price per pound, and one (1) for the number of pounds
being purchased) with corresponding index values. Note: For example, index value 3, when applied to
the “itemName” array, would give us the name of the third item that the
customer is buying. That same index value of 3, when applied to the
“pricePerPound” array, would give us the price per pound of that same third
item that the customer is buying.
4.
Store up to five (5) values in each of the three (3) arrays.
5.
Provide functionality in which the user ends the program by typing a
sentinel value, and the program tells the user what the sentinel value
is. Note: An acceptable message may read “Type n to
end the program.”, where “n” is the sentinel
value. If the user does not end the program in this way, then the program ends
when it has collected the data for five (5) items.
6.
Print an itemized receipt with the following data after the last item in
the purchase has been saved to the array.
o
Item name
o
Price per pound of each item
o
Number of pounds purchased of each item
o
Subtotal price for each item, calculated as price per pound multiplied
by the number of pounds
o
Total weight of the entire order (in pounds)
o
The cost of shipping which is based on the total weight of the entire
order, calculated as 50 cents per pound. Note: For
example, if the entire order weighs seven (7) pounds, the cost of shipping
would be $3.50.
o
Grand total price of all items and shipping.
Note: Use the “console” option in the output
command to accomplish this task. An example of an acceptable output has been
provided below:
