Guided Inquiry 21: zyBook Ch. 16.12 + specified exercises

Overview

The purpose of this guided inquiry is to gain more practice with structs and learn how to use structs with functions.

Learning Objectives

Basic learning objectives

By the end of this Guided Inquiry, you should be able to:

• specify a struct instances as a parameter to a function and use it within the function definition
• pass a struct instance as an argument to a function

Advanced learning objectives

By the end of our next class meeting, you should be able to:

• explain the advantage of using structs over variables when using functions
• implement a function that modifies the data within a struct (pass by reference) 

Resources

Reference zyBook section 16.12 as needed to complete the specified exercises. You may work with others on the exercises listed below. If you have questions, please talk with a classmate or post your question to Piazza under the "gi 21" tag.

Exercises

Attempt the following. Spend no more than 20 minutes on a challenge activity or lab (unless you want to).

• complete at least 80% of the Participation Activities in section 16.12 of the zyBook
• complete the following Challenge Activities/zyLabs—for every challenge activity you cannot pass at least one test for, please take a screen shot of your final attempt after 20 minutes and submit that here (make sure your photo includes the challenge number)
  
  • Challenge 16.12.1: Enter the output of the struct and function
  • Challenge 16.12.2: Structs and functions
• post one or more questions to the class Piazza board with the "gi 21" tag (if there's already a post for a question you had, there's not need to add another one; feel free to post anonymously)—please include specific questions rather than just the number of the challenges you want to see done.
