Unit #5-05

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• understand and create default values for a function

Review

• passing parameters

Lesson

• go over  Default Values , Computer Based Problem Solving

Activity

• nil

Daily Assignment

• create a program that has a procedure that accepts an address and then prints it again but formatted nicely

  • the function will have 1 default parameter, the apartment number it will be "" (null or empty)

  • not every address has an apartment, so it might not have this values

  • function should accept (just Canadian addresses):

    • Addressee

    • Apt. Number (optional)

    • Street number

    • Street name

    • City

    • Province

    • Postal Code

  • the function should return a single string that looks like a mailing address from Canada Post

    • you are returning a single string, but with multiple lines!

      • "\n"

      • also notice all the text is in upper case!

  • use named parameters if possible, to ensure it is clear each piece that is being passed over

  • ENSURE that you test the function from main() at least twice (2), once without the optional parameter and once with the optional parameter

    • also test when a user places words where a number should be

      • notice mine keeps looping around until you do enter a number!

• read Default Values , Computer Based Problem Solving

Extra

• recreate the same above program in another language

  • DO NOT use C, since there is no easy way to use strings!
