Lab 2.1 Coding with Parallel Arrays
Parallel arrays are two or more arrays whose corresponding components hold related
information. If you need to keep track of multiple items that are related, you can create
more than one array where the information is related by the placement within the
arrays.
Objectives
In this lab, you process parallel arrays.
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
Process parallel arrays.
Coding with Parallel Arrays
In the following exercises, select the correct answer for each question. Then design
and write a program that uses parallel arrays.
Question Answer
(Circle the correct answer)
1. Parallel arrays can be different data types. T F
2. Parallel arrays can be different sizes. T F
3a. Create the design for a program that keeps track of the hits, walks, and outs
of a baseball team. Use parallel arrays to keep track of each player’s statistics.
The player number is the index of the array. You will be reading in data from
the file called PlayBall.txt, which contains data that includes the player
number, hits, walks and outs. The data file will contain multiple games. Not
every player will have stats in each game. The arrays should be initialized to
zero (0) and should be accumulators to allow for stats for each game of the
season.
Write your design in the following space. Your design should be a list of C++
comments without any code:
