Ashford INT302 Week 5 Development of A Shopping Cart Paper

Question Description

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 10 and 11 (including Participation Activities), reviewing Challenge Activities 10.1.1, 10.2.1, and 11.2.1 in your text. Additionally, research a minimum of two credible sources, as indicated by the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table, to use in your Final Project, formatted in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center APA Style (Links to an external site.) It is recommended that you also review the resources from Week 4.

In this Final Project, you will use all the skills you have acquired throughout the course to modify the program you created in Week 4. You will also analyze and explain your modifications to the program and reflect on the real-world use and importance of C++ programming language.

Program Update

Review the instructor and peer feedback you received for the Online Shopping Cart System program assignment you created in Week 4. Based on that feedback and your own review, modify the program where you

Demonstrate how the program can use both inheritance and recursion techniques by deploying these concepts to the design. This task can be achieved by using additional code and renaming your program.

Include in the program

appropriate arithmetic operators;

input/output methods;

selection statements such as if-else or at least one looping statement; and

use of a data structure, such as arrays or vectors, and display the output.

Model classes and their relationship.

Copy the source code and paste it into your final analysis. Include a screenshot of the output. Upload all necessary files (such as H or CPP files).

C++ Programming Written Analysis

In addition to your program, write a one- to two-page analysis in which you describe the types of tests you ran on your program as well as the outcome of your program. Explain how the fundamentals of programming in C++ apply to your modifications. Justify the decisions you made for the modifications, explaining new features or functionality of your revised program. Explain how you would realistically use the C++ programming language, providing examples of how you might use it in your current or future career. Examine best practices for using C++ programming language in the field. Your paper should include properly cited sources as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center.
