Project 02 : Monthly Budget

Due Saturday at 5:00 PM MST

Write a program to manage your personal finances for a month. This program will ask you for your budget income and expenditures, then for how much you actually made and spent. The program will then display a report of whether you are on target to meet your financial goals.

Interface Design

The following is an example run of the program. An example of input is underlined.

This program keeps track of your monthly budget
Please enter the following:
        Your monthly income: 1000.00
        Your budgeted living expenses: 650.00
        Your actual living expenses: 700.00
        Your actual taxes withheld: 100.00
        Your actual tithe offerings: 120.00
        Your actual other expenses: 150.00

The following is a report on your monthly expenses
        Item                  Budget          Actual
        =============== =============== ===============
        Income          $    1000.00    $    1000.00
        Taxes           $       0.00    $     100.00
        Tithing         $       0.00    $     120.00
        Living          $     650.00    $     700.00
        Other           $       0.00    $     150.00
        =============== =============== ===============
        Difference      $       0.00    $       0.00

A few hints:

A tab used for most of the indentations and nowhere else.
There are 15 '='s under Income, Budget, and Actual.
The user's monthly income is used both for the Budget value and for the Actual value
The Budget value for Taxes, Tithing, and Other will always be zero. Also the Difference, both Budget and Actual, will be zero. We will compute these in the next two parts of this project.

Input & Output

Your Ponder & Prove assignment for this week is to prompt the user for the six monthly budget items and display the results in an easy-to-read table. Please follow these steps:

Copy the course template from:
/home/cs124/template.cpp
Compile and run the program to ensure that it works as you expect.:
g++ project02.cpp
Test the program with testbed and fix all the errors:
testBed cs124/project02 project02.cpp
Run the style checker and fix all the errors:
styleChecker project02.cpp
Submit it with "Project 02, Monthly Budget" in the program header:
submit project02.cpp

An executable version of the project is available at:

/home/cs124/projects/prj02.out

The grading criteria are:

	Exceptional 100%	Good 90%	Acceptable 70%	Developing 50%	Missing 0%
testBed 60%	Passes `testBed`	Looks correct on screen but there are `testBed` errors	Zero compile errors	A compile error	Program does not resemble the problem definition
styleChecker 40%	Great variable names, no errors, great comments	No `styleChecker` errors	A few `styleChecker` errors	Misleading variable names or gross style errors	Little effort was spent on style
