Description:
Write a menu-driven program named “SimpleAssignmentRecorder” that will provide following menu to record user’s input assignments:
1. Enter a new assignment
2. Show the largest assignment
3. Show all assignments
4. Exit
– “Enter a new assignment” option will read in one simple assignment in the form: <variable> = <value>
such as: count = 10 or total = 0
It will format and print out the assignment with proper spacing.
– “Show the largest assignment” option will display the largest assignment that has been entered so far
– “Show all assignments” option will print out all entered assignments
Requirements:
1. The program must produce the same expected output as provided.
2. Array or vector or list class is not allowed. This is an assignment using string, stream, stringstream and functions.
Simple variables and string concatenation will be sufficient to solve this problem.
3. There should be no global variables. Please use only local variables and parameters instead.
4. You must define and use at least 5 functions including main() in your program
5. There must be at least one function using pass-by-reference parameters
6. Scanf and printf are not allowed (Please use C++ cin and cout and C++ formatting)
7. Handle invalid menu options such as negative or too big or even alphanumeric such as “abc”
8. When there is no assignments available, it should display the informational message of “There is no assignment.”
9. Please handle invalid menu value that is not between 1 and 4.
10. For simplicity, you can assume that the user will enter the assignment correctly with spaces.
