Graded Discussion Board (GDB) of CS201 will be launched on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 and it will close on Thursday, February 19, 2015.
GDB Scenario: Every programming language provides different features to make coding task easy. One of the main objectives is to keep things simple as possible. You have studied C++ in this course and have learnt many different concepts e.g. input/output, if-else statements, loops, arrays, functions etc.
Looping constructs are needed when a statement or a block of statement is repeatedly executed until a specific condition holds true. You have learned in this course that C++ provides three looping constructs; For Loop, While Loop and Do-while Loop.
For C++ designers, it is not easy to include a construct or structure while developing this computer language. On the other hand, it also increases the complexity for learners as languages with more construct are difficult to learn.
A language expert Mr. ABC objects the designers of C++ on the bases of following two arguments:
- A single looping construct is sufficient to cover all types of situations.
- Designers of C++ have not done any good with themselves and C++ programmers by making things complex with provision of three different looping constructs.
GDB Question: Your Task is to comment on the views of Mr. ABC. Clearly state your position in favour or against for each argument of Mr. ABC with justified reasons.
Instructions:
A concise, coherent and to the point answer is preferred over lengthy comment having irrelevant details. Answers, posted on regular Lesson's MDB or sent through email will NOT be considered in any case.
