CSCI 261 - Programming Concepts (C++)

This lab is due by November 02, 2016 08:00am.

This lab will make Lab07B more flexible. Instead of requiring the user to enter 15 numbers every time, we will allow the user to enter as many numbers as they wish (assume they will enter at least 1 number). The user will enter non-negative numbers (greater than or equal to zero) one at a time. When the user wishes to no longer enter numbers, the user should enter -1 to signal they are done.

When the user is done entering numbers, print how many numbers the user entered. Then print out the numbers the user entered.

After printing out the values the user entered, modify your function to accept a vector. Name this new function FindLargestVectorValue and then call your function and print the resulting largest value.

An example interaction follows:

• Your function cannot make a call to the STL Algorithm method sort(). You must iterate through the vector searching for the largest element yourself.
• Additionally, your function should not modify the contents of the vector. That is to say, when the function is complete the vector will have the same value as it did when it was passed into the funciton. Maybe we should have our vector parameter be constant to ensure it doesn't change.
• When printing the number of numbers entered by the user, do not use a counter inside the loop. Instead, make use of one of our vector functions to determine this value.

You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of Week09. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 09.
