This video describes a set of code examples (functions and scripts) for processing data about a set of stars. The data is stored in a vector of structures, where each structure contains the name, constellation, and temperature of a star. We explore functions that perform tasks like printing information about all the stars, printing the names of stars in a particular constellation, printing the temperature of a star with a particular name and constellation, finding the hottest star overall, and finding the hottest star within a particular constellation. The examples provide further background for the programming problem in the new version of Assignment 5.

Code Files

Code for the stars examples can be found in the cs112 course directory on the CS file server, in a folder named stars (also stored in the shared Google folder). A zip file with the code folder is also posted on the course schedule page, on the April 2nd lecture spot.
