Project 1: TwentyFour

This is the first project in the course; it is a simplified version of the game Twenty-Four, which prompts a user with a 4-digit number puzzle (sometimes called wheels, as the real game utilizes a card to show the digits in a circular formation).

The user will need to enter 3 valid operators (only these: + - * /) that when applied to the numbers in the puzzle, produce the number 24 when operating from left-to-right => ignoring order of opertions! e.g. Given 3 3 2 6 as a puzzle, one could say: + - *, b/c:

• 3 + 3 - 2 * 6 = 24 => again, ignore order of ops.

Project Structure

This is a two-phase development; the first and second stages each have their own writeups, but Stage 2 does depend/utilize Stage 1, so it was programmed in order.

Restrictions for this Project

We were not allowed to utilize arrays for this project (originally). After some discussion, this requirement was modified to allow us statically defined arrays with size no greater than 10 elements (Not allowed to allocate memory dynamically).

Any further, atomic requirements are described in the different Stages!

Stages

• Stage 1
