Task

Your task is to design, implement and test a program to calculate the cost of different types of student trips.

Non-Functional Specification

• The program should provide the user with an appropriate textual interface, providing instruction and help.

• The program should execute until the user decides to terminate it.

• The program should output results in a readable and meaningful format

• The cheapest option should always be suggested Functional specification:

• Calculate the cost of the total mileage for the trip (outward and inward bound)

• Include the hire cost of an appropriate sized vehicle

• Include the travel expenses for the appropriate number of accompanying tutors

• Calculate the total cost of food depending on the type of trip:
o Short day trip requires only lunch
o Long day trip requires lunch and dinner
o An overnight trip requires lunch, dinner and breakfast

• Any child requiring special dietary requirements is identified and additional cost incurred Known data values:

• Cost per mile = 40p

• Mini bus = £40 per day holds 12 children and one adult

• Coach = £60 per day holds 36 children and 3 tutors

• There should be 1 accompanying tutor for every group of 12 children

• Breakfast costs £1.50 per child

• Lunch costs £2.00 per child

• Dinner costs £3.50 per child

• Special dietary requirements are charged at an extra 8% per meal

• Accompanying tutors are charged an extra 20% for each meal (they are not charged extra for special diets)

Test data:

• 32 children on a short day trip 6 have special dietary requirements

• 10 children on an overnight stay 1 has special dietary requirements

Part 1: Pseudo-­-code and first stage formal design -:

• Any assumptions made

• A breakdown of the problem into key sub-­-problems,

• Pseudo-­-code solutions for those sub-­problems

• An initial high-level formal flow chart of how you intend your program to work.

Part 2: Your final working program and design documentation. This should include:

• Your source code (.cpp files only) zipped in a single file and submitted to the separate Moodle box

• A final formal report, submitted to Turnitin, that includes:

• A formal flow chart of your final design indicating any major changes from your initial design and your rational for them.

• A testing table that demonstrates your program development and the results of the given test data.

• Identifies any limitations you have placed on your program, or functionality in which it has not yet been successful.

• Details of any research undertaken and a relevant supporting bibliography

Part 3: Demonstration of your working program with test data.
