Directions

Complete the following exercises using C programming language. Take screenshots of the code and its output where specified and paste them into in a well-labeled Word document for submission.

Scenario

Assume you are the CIO of an organization with three different IT department locations with separate costs. You want a program to perform simple IT expenditure calculations. Your IT expenditure target is $35,000 per site.

Site expenditures: Site 1 $35,000. Site 2 $37,500. Site 3 $42,500

Exercise 2: Using the "While Loop"

Write a program that uses a while loop to accomplish the same calculations as in Exercise 1. The program should capture your input values and assign the values to a variable. Use the same target value as in Exercise 1.

• Hint:
  • Define a variable called continue_loop and assign it the value of "Y".
  • Define a variable called "target" and assign it the value of 35500.

Your program should:

• Use a while loop.
• Prompt a user to input a sites expenditure and upon hitting the return key:
  • Ask if they want to add another expenditure with the options of "Y" or "N" (as long as the "continue_loop" variable is equal to "Y"). (Hint: The loop should end if the user input is anything but "Y".)
  • Validate that the data entered is not below zero (review Chapter 4, Program 4-16 to see an example of input validation). If the value is below 0, present a message that says "Values must be greater than 0."
• Calculate the average IT expenditure.
• Display the average IT expenditure.
• Compare that value to the target.
• Display one of the following messages:
  • "This site is meeting the organization's target goals!" if the average is equal to or below the target.
  • "This site is NOT meeting the organization's target goals." if it is above the average.

Save and run the program and take a screenshot of your code and the results of running the program after all inputs have been made.
