FizzBuzz Program Parts 1,2, and 3 (C++; Microsoft Express Platform)

Write a console-based C++ program that requests the user to input a single positive integer as input and waits until the student presses the Enter key:
Please enter number, then press Enter key: 8
The program will then write the following output according to the following rules:
1. If the number is divisible by 3. The program will give the output “Number: # – Fizz”
Please enter a number, then press Enter key: 6
Output: Number: 6 – Fizz
2. If the number is divisible by 5. The program will give the output “Number: # – Buzz”
Please enter a number, then press Enter key: 10
Output: Number: 10 – Buzz
3. If the number is both divisible by 3 and 5. The program will give the output “Number: # – FizzBuzz”
Note. If the number is NOT divisible by either 3 or 5, the program will give the output “Please enter another number.”
Please enter a number, then press the Enter Key: 30
Output: Number: 30 – FizzBuzz
Expand the application to accept a comma separated list of numbers and print the output of each number according to the rules above.
Example: Please enter an array of number(s): 3,10,30
Output: Number: 3 – Fizz, Number: 10 – Buzz, Number: 30 – FizzBuzz
Note. Utilize pointers where appropriate.

Modify the FizzBuzz program developed in Week Two to record the user input using an array. The function must have the prototype int FizzBuzz(int, int), where the function takes the row number input from user as the first parameter and the column input amount by the user as secondparameter. Create the function to output the number of guesses user takes until they get a FizzBuzz output.
Replace this code in the body of your program with a switch statement. When the user successfully enters a number that gets desired FizzBuzz ouput, prompt to ask if the user wants to play again.
Include the proper header and make sure you properly comment your program. Also, make sure you use proper coding conventions.

Modify the FizzBuzz program further by designinga class CFizzbuzz with two private data members that store a name up to 14 characters long and an integer item number. Define a getFizzbuzz() function member of the CFizzbuzz class that will set values for the data members by reading input from the keyboard and a putFizzbuzz() function member that outputs the values of the data members. Implement the getRecord() function so that a calling program can detect when a zero item number is entered. Test your CFizzbuzz class with a main() function that reads and outputs CFizzbuzz objects until a zero item number is entered.
Include the proper header and make sure you properly comment your program. Also, make sure you use proper coding conventions.
Zip all your Microsoft? Visual Studio? Express source code files in the consoleapplication folder into a .zip file.

statistical significance

This will be a two part assessment
PART ONE:
When we examine the relationships between variables where two or more variables are characterized by nominal or categorical groups, we may use a chi-square test of significance. The chi-square test examines the statistical significance of the differences between observed and expected frequency count in each cell of the table. The chi-square test tells you only whether a statistical significance of difference exists between groups on some other categorical variable (neither strength nor direction).

PowerPoint Presentation with Speaker Notes.

Create a business pitch for your business plan in a 20- to 25-slide Microsoft? PowerPoint? presentation that addresses the following:
Company
Headline
Problem Worth Solving
Our Solution
Target Market
Competitive Landscape
Funding Needs
Sales Channels
Marketing Activities
Forecast
Milestones
Team and Key Roles
Partners and Resources
Hints from the Instructor:
For this assignment, i usually suggest that you start by making a case that shows the need. Make it dramatic/attention grabbing if possible. Are there any safety concerns or risks in the current situation? Use news stories from the past year if possible. Then present your vision and mission statements. Focus on the big picture.

Under Problem Worth Solving, be more basic. You are looking at your customer’s needs. e.g. You will not succeed unless you do this!

Then your solution is based on the vision you have presented.

Once you have presented a clear technical view of what you are offering.

Then make the case as to why should the customer investor trust/partner with/believe in you? Why are you better than your competition? Try to hit all the items in the assignment instructions (Company, Headline, Problem Worth Solving, Our Solution, Target Market, Competitive Landscape, Funding Needs, Sales Channels, Marketing Activities, Forecast, Milestones, Team and Key Roles, Partners and Resources)

General Notes: Sides need to be background and mostly titles or SHORT bullet points. Although the text on the slide is not meant to be read, it must be readable. Hit the highlights only and save the details for hand outs or put them in the speaker’s notes. Put citations in the speaker’s notes.

Present financial summaries and projections. Have you accounted for paying yourself? Put the financials last since that is your “ask.”

Make sure to include media (pictures, clip art, text art, etc.)

It all flows from a clear articulation of the problem!
