i need help with the program below. so if any one could help me that woulp be appreciated. bc my teacher teaches nothing to use so i dont understand how to do this.please and thank you!!



Declare a structure that contains information on each donor. Include the donor's name, the donor's telephone number, and the money amount of their latest contribution. Assume an array of 300 structures.
(Hint: when writing the program, use an array of 3 or 4 for testing purposes).

Write functions to address each of the following requests:

a. sort the list according to the size of the donation, with the largest donation listed
first.
b. print the sorted list to the screen in some organized manner.
c. print to the screen in some congratulatory manner, the person giving the largest
donation. You must deal with the possibility that two (or more) people may have
given the same amount of money. You may assume for this problem that not more
than 3 people will give the same donation amount.
d. create a function that will receive the array by reference and will return the average
of all the donations. Print the average of the donations to the screen.

You may choose the best printing process. Be sure to label the information on the screen so that someone reading the screen will understand WHAT they are reading.

Well it is site policy that we see you have a "best effort" attempt at solving the problem yourself which we can then guide you with. However we can certainly get you started on the right path. The whole program is based around the idea of a structure.

Structures in C/C++ use the "struct" keyword. They describe data that is related to one another and form the idea of an object or container.

Here you need a struct called "donor" which has three member variables. One for the name, one for the telephone and one for the contribution.

It would look something like this...

struct donor {
     char *name;
     char *telephone;
     double contribution;
};

As you can see we now have a structure called donor and three member items for each of the donor's attributes. Now this describes a donor and how one is structured. So now we need to create a donor like so...

donor Martyr2;

Martyr2.name = "Martyr2";
Martyr2.telephone = "444-555-5555";
Martyr2.contribution = 3400.00;

cout << Martyr2.name << " contributed " << Martyr2.contribution << " and is just kick ass altogether." << endl;

So once you get the idea of a donor down, you just need to put together functions which pass around variables of type "donor" and access the member items using the dot notation like mentioned above.

Good luck!

"At DIC we be struct building code ninjas... we try to build structs with legos but they just wouldn't compile. MVC++ kept saying 'Error: stop being a dumbshit"

Regarding your sorting, check out google for bubble sort. It sounds like this is a beginner C class, so that should be sufficient. I believe you might even be able to find some sorting algorithms in the DIC Code Samples. Utilize your resources.

Damn, Martyr's ballin with the $3400 donation. Mind sending that to my paypal account?

Just call the phone number. That's what I did & I got twice that much!

Yeah I am just giving it away like a trailer park.... ummm... nevermind.

"Here at DIC we be giving away trailer parks."
