Q&A Regarding Assignment
1. Can I get an explanation about how I should do the linear regression?
LKC:
This and the Pearson function we will need to explain to everyone. Right now do the other
functions first.
2. Sir for part 1, q3, the menu system design and motivation, do we need to do the coding or
how?
LKC:
no coding for the first submission
just diagrams or explanation
menu: draw the diagram of your design, and explain a little
that means: how would your menus look like in your program
3. Sir for the flowchart part do we need to do for every single instructions or the crucial ones that
requires calculation like min max variance
LKC:
the functions are the first to draw,
then the main program (when you can call the functions)
4. so we have to draw flowchart for all functions ?
LKC:
yes
5. Display the distinct numbers (no repetition) and a count of the occurrences of each number
(frequency) in a tabular form. Your tabular form must include header titles and must be
displayed and formatted nicely.
What does this mean in the assignment sir?
LKC
it means: if a subject has 30 marks, we will try to count for the marks with how many people
got it:
Subject: English
Mark - Freq
5-3
6-5
9 - 18
10 - 4
display in a nicer table format
6. Display two tables with the data items above and below the mean and displaying the number
of those below and above the mean.
what does this mean sir
LKC
Bio
Mean = 55.4
Table 1: (Students below Mean)
11100221
11025664
........
Table 2 : (Students below Mean) 11668577 11033652 ........
*above
also display the count
below mean: 12 students above mean: 17 students
7. Also sir, wanted to ask, if lets say user chooses to calculate mean, where does the program
continue on after that
LKC:
back to the menu
so the user should be able to choose other options, until he chooses EXIT
8. sir
i dont understand no.12
12. A statistical report that includes all the statistical computed values above, properly
formatted and stored in a text file
is it linked with no.4?
4. The user should be able to store the results of any step (operation) in a file (text or html
format).
LKC:
that means: this will include ALL the mean, median, ........ info for ALL the subjectss
properly formatted
No.4 is about storing the result of one calculation
12. is about everything
9. does the statistical report in question 12 also includes frequency of distinct number, pearson
correlation table...linear regression calculation and all that?
LKC
yes
just call all the functions that you have created
Mr Sharaf's idea is ALL the functions that can run on the subject that you can create, let them
run all and put their output into one file
10. Ability to display and store data sorted (ascending or descending) using a selected column sir
for this, what kind of data ?
LKC
the data refers to one cloumn (marks for one subject)
example:
What subject: Boi
sorting:
1. Accenting 2. Descending
>> 2
then sort all the Bio marks in decs. order
display and save in a file
11. sir, for the statistical report in question 12, it must be in both TEXT (,txt) file AND HTML
(.html) file?
LKC
yes
12. for the Algorithms in report,
can i write pseudocode for some functions and draw flowchart for the rest of the functions?
or must it be either be ALL pseudocode or ALL flowchart?
LKC
can, but one function must not mix the two methods
13. sir, the flowcharts are for the calculation right ?
LKC
not just calculations
also for the processes
even a menu function can be drawn
should be evrything, but if found too many, then do those most important ones first
14. sir can we import external libraries? For reading a CSV file and getting one of the columns as
a vector of items.
LKC
in our case, no. you should use as much c++ as possible, only when c++ is limited then only
we use outside libraries
and for this assignment, other than the HTML thingy, I don't see any need
15. At the very start of the program, the user will be loading .csv or .txt file? or the system must
be able to read both types of file?
LKC: csv
