CMPS 1044 – Program 3 – Spring 2014 –  Long-Distance Calls

Problem solving steps & Manually Calculated Answers

Problem Description

A long-distance carrier charges the following rates for telephone calls between the U.S. and Mexico:

Starting time of Call (hour:minutes)	Rate Per Minute
00:00 – 06:59 (midnight – 6:59 a.m.)	$ 0.12
07:00 – 19:00 (7 a.m. – 7 p.m.)	0.55
19:01 – 23:59 (after 7 p.m. – before midnight)	0.35

Given the StartTime of a call and the Length of the call in minutes, the cost for the call is to be calculated.  The time is input as a decimal number. That is, 5:45 will be input as 5.45.  You MUST split this into the integer Hour and Minute components then validate the correct format of each one. When printing, you must print the time as 05:45, with the colon not the period.  Use a while loop counting to 17, like you did in the first 2 programs. ** Use if statements, properly nested, to solve the problem.  All I/O is to be file based.

Data File ( Name, StartTime, Length (in minutes))

Mary	5.45	10
Joe	16.41	40
Ted	23.10	38
Joshua	45.9	2
Fred	12.42	50
Caroline	23.00	121
Jeffrey	19.00	82
Joy	24.00	13
Paul	06.59	8
Tony	7.00	29
Henry	19.01	59
Catherine	23.08	134
Titus	10.60	65
Julio	5.37	100
Rebekah	12.03	81
Andy	23.59	5
TalkMonkey	22.00	300

Input Validation:  You must check Hour & Minute after reading it in.  That is, if Hour is greater than 23 or if Minute is greater than 59, then you will print the word “ERROR” in the CHARGE column. Otherwise, you calculate and print the total cost.

Output Form:  Make sure that your output looks as below.
