BIT1C013 Introduction to Programming Individual Assignment August 2025 Session

MAHSA University – FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, BUILT ENVIRONMENT & IT

Assignment brief

Assignment submission guideline:

A hard copy of the assignment signed by student with faculty cover sheet attached. Also, assignment must be submitted in Microsoft word format or Pdf format to the submission assignment provided on CAMU.

Your lecture notes will give you the basic framework ONLY of the ideas, theories and concepts you will need to complete the assignment. These notes will therefore NOT be sufficient on their own. You will need to make use of the required reading, extra references and any other material you come across in the course of researching your assignment. Only academic references are accepted.

Late Submission

For any late submission without any good reasons, thus comply to the rules as per mention below:

• day late: 5 marks will be deducted from the mark achieved by the student
• to 9 days late: a further 5 marks will be deducted from the mark achieved by the student for each day the work remains unsubmitted

10 days late: a mark of zero will normally be recorded

Non-submission of work

Non-submission of work without extenuating circumstances will be counted as a non- submission and marked as zero.

Editorial/Presentation guidelines

Assignment Submission due date Final submission: 3 November 2025 (Monday)

Assignment must be submitted through the submission link provided on CAMU.

Marking

This assignment counts for 30% of your total mark.

Assignment description

This individual assignment is part of a continues assignment that carries 30% of the overall percentage for the courses. It addresses the course outcomes as shown below.

Details of the task 

A Nice Cafe wants a program to calculate the total cost of items purchased by customers. The restaurant sells three items with fixed prices as follows (use constants in your program):

• Latte (Item L): RM12 each
• Sandwich (Item S): RM18 each
• Muffin (Item M): RM7 each

Requirements:

1. Construct a C++ program that fulfills the following requirements:

Use functions to:

• Input the quantity of each item purchased (with validation).
• Calculate the cost of each item based on its quantity and price.
• Calculate and return the total cost of all items purchased.
• (Optional bonus) Apply a member discount of 10% if the user selects “Member = Y”.

2. Use sequence (normal steps), selection (if/else or switch for member Y/N), and iteration (loop to process multiple transactions until user chooses to exit).
3. Display a clear receipt showing:
   • Quantities and line costs for L, S, M
   • Subtotal
   • Any discount (if applicable)
   • Final Total (RM)

Note: You should use at least three functions: one for input, one for calculations, and one for displaying the output.

4. Draw a flowchart illustrating input, validation, calculations (including optional discount decision), and output. The flowchart should also show the loop that handles repeated transactions.
5. Your C++ code should demonstrate creativity and clean structure: well-named variables, constants for prices, modular functions, and comments. Your report should discuss the system design, including the flowchart, the choice of control structures, and how your functions divide the work.

Example Output:

Case 1: Single Transaction (No Discount)

Enter quantity of Latte (>= 0): 1

Enter quantity of Sandwich (>= 0): 2

Enter quantity of Muffin (>= 0): 3

Are you a Nice Cafe member? (Y/N): N

————–Receipt ——————-

Latte (RM12) x 1 = RM12

Sandwich (RM18) x 2 = RM36

Muffin (RM7) x 3 = RM21

Subtotal: RM69

Final Total: RM69

——————————————-

Process another transaction? (Y/N): N

Thank you for using the Nice Cafe Order System! Goodbye!

Case 2: Multiple Transactions with Validation + Discount

Enter quantity of Latte (>= 0): -2

Invalid input! Please enter a non-negative number.

Enter quantity of Latte (>= 0): 2

Enter quantity of Sandwich (>= 0): 1

Enter quantity of Muffin (>= 0): 0

Are you a Nice Cafe member? (Y/N): y

—————— Receipt ——————

Latte (RM12) x 2 = RM24

Sandwich (RM18) x 1 = RM18

Muffin (RM7) x 0 = RM0

Subtotal: RM42

Member Discount (10%): -RM4.20

Final Total: RM37.80

Process another transaction? (Y/N): X

Invalid input! Please enter ‘Y’ or ‘N’: Y

Report

You must produce a report that includes:

1. A flowchart of the program and screenshots of the output.
2. The full source code.
3. All files (report and source code) should be compressed into a single ZIP file and uploaded to CAMU.

What you should hand in

You should submit a single ZIP file containing the documents and upload it to CAMU.
