Wyo C++ - Ch. 4 Programming Assignment

Ch4Proj1.cpp

Specs:    Write out a program on paper that declares variables named maxInt, minInt, maxChar, minChar, maxDouble, and minDouble with the appropriate data types. Initialize each variable appropriately to the maximum or minimum possible value allowed by your compiler using any available defined constants in header files such as limits.h and float.h. Do not use assignment statements to set their values. Then, use appropriate output messages to display each variable's numerical value on individual lines of output. For example,

The value of maxInt is 2147483647.

(Notice the period at the end of the sentence.) You must force the char variables to display as numerical values and not characters.

After carefully writing out this program on paper, type it into the compiler and debug if necessary. Your program must follow the Coding Standards. Save the source code file as "Ch4Proj1.cpp" in the appropriate network folder.

Preconditions:

None

You must hand in the following on separate pages stapled in this specified order:

1. The hardcopy source code for this assignment. Staple multiple pages together, if applicable.
2. The hand-written code that you wrote out before typing the code into the compiler.

After you've printed out your good copy of the source file, try adding 1 to the maximum values of the integer and char data type variables and be able to explain the results in terms of C++ overflow.
