PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
From: Stewart Dent, Software Lead
The WaterWorks Utilities Company
To: Interns
RE: Log files
Welcome to The WaterWorks summer intern program. You have been assigned to the
software development team as a programmer.
BACKGROUND:
At the end of each month, our technicians take readings from every residential water
meter in their service area. We want to keep each customer informed by providing a
quarterly report that summarizes that customer’s water consumption for the quarter.
REQUIREMENTS:
Write a program that displays a customer’s quarterly report. The program should request
the customer’s water usage and then display the quarterly report on the console.
• Request the following information:
Date the meter was read (mm, dd, yyyy)
The meter number (allow up to 8 digits)
Size of residence in square feet
Gallons used in 1st month
Gallons used in 2nd month
Gallons used in 3rd month
•
Then, display the quarterly report
▪ Display leading zeros, if there are any, in the meter number
▪ Display floating point numbers with a resolution of 2 decimal places
and align the decimal points.
▪ Use named constants wherever possible.
▪ Assume that the national average water consumption for a residence is
2.095 gallons per square foot of the residence size.
•
Use WW_Header.cpp (attached) as a starting point for your code. It contains the
WaterWorks approved file header, which must be included at the head of all
company source code files.
