10/26/05 Lecture Notes CISC181


Error on Chris Fischers slide 23:

Should be:

  const char* suit[4]=
 	  {"Clubs","Diamonds","Hearts","Spades"};

===============================

New topic: reading comma separated values:

The file hikingData.txt
is a Comma Separated Values file

Each line, for example:
 

    South Kaibab,6.3,AZ,1

has four fields:

 Name of a hiking trail,
 Distance in Miles,
 Name of the state where the trail is located
 How many times I have hiked that trail


Suggestion from the class: skating data....

Read this data until end of file.

Break up each line into fields.

Store the data in a array of structs.
