CMSC104 Fall 2009
Programming Project 4
Grade Calculator v2.0
Out: Monday, December 1, 2009
NEW Due Date: Monday, December 14, 2009 before 11:59 p.m.
The Objective
This project is designed to give you practice using arrays in JavaScript.
The Task
You are going to make some improvements to the grade calculator that you designed in Project 1. Rather than storing each of the grades in individual variables, you are going to use arrays to store your data. You should have an array for each of the different types of grades: homeworks, projects and exams. You are also going to error check the user input. You should use the function GetValidNumberInput() that you used in Project 3. You should have a function Average() that takes an array and returns the average of all the elements in the array.
More Details
- You must use for loops when dealing with the arrays (i.e. when you are reading the grades in from the user.)
- Correction! The only two functions you are required to use are GetValidNumberInput() and Average(). If you would like to create and use other functions, you are more than welcome to do so.
- The valid range for grades is 0 to 105.
Screenshots
- The sample output is the same as the sample output for Project 1.
Extra Credit
- You should make your program work such that all of the grades do not have to be entered in order to find the average. In other words, the user can get his or her average at any time in the class, instead of just at the end. You should ask the user how many grades have been completed so far (i.e. How many homeworks are complete?) and then allow them to enter the grades. After getting the homework, project and exam grades, you should display the current average in the class. The screenshots below will show the specific prompts.

Submitting the Program
You do not have to do anything to submit the program. It should be in your pub/www/cs104/proj4 directory.
