Lab 10.4 CarRental

Background

When you rent a car from an agency, the key ring has several pieces of information: license plate, make and year of car, and usually a special code. This code could be used for some data processing within the company's computers. This lab will practice determining that special car rental code from the license plate.

Assignment

• The following sequence of steps will be used to convert a license plate into a car rental code.

  1. A license plate consists of 3 letters followed by a 3 digit integer value.
  2. Type in the license plate information as 3 characters followed by a single integer value. For example, CPR 607.
  3. Add up the ASCII values of the 3 letters, 67 + 80 + 82 = 229.
  4. Add the sum of the letters to the single integer value. For example, 229 + 607 = 836.
  5. Take this sum (836) and determine the integer remainder after dividing by 26:
     836 % 26 = 4.
  6. Take your answer to the previous step and determine that letter in the alphabet after 'A'. For example, if you have 836 % 26 = 4 then you would take the 4th letter after 'A': 4th letter after 'A' = E.
  7. Combine the letter and the sum, the car id number for license plate
     Ex: CPR 607 = E836.

• You may assume that all sample data will be in the format of 3 alphabet characters, then a space, followed by a 3 digit integer.

Instructions

1. Prompt the user for the make and model of the car. Use strings to create this part. User input is shown in bold below.
   Example:

   Enter Make: Chevrolet
   Enter Model: Suburban

2. Prompt the user for the license plate.
   Example:

   Enter Licence Plate: CPR 607

3. Print a summary of the output in this format:

   Make = Chevrolet
   Model = Suburban
   CPR 607 = E836

4. Solve the following run outputs:

   RJK 492
   SPT 309

   The input values for the make and model strings are your choice.
