Land Calculation Programming Project
A Week 2 Demonstration
Objectives: This project is out of the Gaddis Programming Logic and Design text from Chapter 2 end of chapter Programming Exercises. You might be in your second or third week of class when you experience a problem of this nature. I will cover this problem with the goal of touching key content in regard to program output, program input, variables and calculations. You might want to view this project in week 2 up to week 4 of class to introduce some of the beginning skills needed during program design and development. You could also use this project as a review of your skills. Starting the project with the Introduction will place you in the category of writing your first or second program. In addition to the design documents I hope to add suggestions for coding this project in C++ as well as JAVA.
You might want to check out recommended resouces that cover content we will be using in this project.
Welcome to the Land Calculation Project
The project description should give details enough to allow a program developer adequate information to come up with a solution. This may not always be clear which could cause one developer to build a solution that is different from another. The approach I would recommend for my projects would be to solve as completely as possible and to clarify when the opportunity occurs.
(Work-in-progress)
Although the video has not been recorded you can check the solution for C++ or JAVA. Just locate the (Answer 1) tab.

View this page after giving the project your best effort.
This section will identify docs that show the development of our solution. When you are working through any project you will need to consider things like variable names, how to show results, logic for coming up with your result and then get down to writing code that will tell the computer exactly what to do.
