in CS 102 on C++, Assignments
An in-class activity assigned Wednesday, 04/24/2019. Due Mon, Apr. 29 in class or via submission portal
Write a Jeopardy-style C++ game that includes the following elements:
A data structure for the Jeopardy[Update]: removed this requirementHost(at least 3 attributes)- A data structure for a Jeopardy
Question - at least 5 instances of a
Question - a menu that lets you select a question
Be creative! 75% of your grade on this activity is based on the creativity of your solution.
Things to Consider
- Your program should follow the “pretty code” guidelines
- How can you test that your program will work for most (or perhaps all) cases?
- Which cases are the exceptions?
