04/07/11 - Begin programming assignments "Three Loops" and "Letter Guessing Game".
"Letter Guessing Game" is, wait for it, a game in which the user tries to guess a randomly-chosen letter. The user gets 5 tries to guess the letter, and your program provides hints as to whether the magic letter is closer to A or closer to Z.
"Three Loops" are three different programs, each of which uses one of the three looping structures in C++ (for, do...while, and while). I recommend taking a program you've already written (or the Letter Guessing Game) and asking the user if they want to run the program again.
Do Ch. 5 PE 14 for 5 EC points (number guessing game modification.)
Write a program to calculate the superfactorial of a number
(e.g. 5! * 4! * 3! * 2!) for 10 hard-earned (but character-building) EC points.
See Teacher Assignment folder to run some example programs.
