3.4 zyLab training: Interleaved input / output Class: CIS22C - Lecture Notes Lecture: 3.4 Date: 01/19/2021 Description: This is lab on ZyLab training. The instructor's example illustrates both the program's output and the user's access to the program whether the software is built in an environment where a student communicates with it. The program, on the other hand, does not produce the five numbers (or the newline following the 5, which occurs when the user types 5 and presses enter). Auto-graded programming assignments have a lot of benefits, but they also have some drawbacks. Students frequently have difficulty understanding that the example input/output given in an assignment's specification interleaves input and output, while the software can only output the output bits. If a program's input should be doubled, a teacher might give the following example: Enter x: 5 x doubled is: 10

Students often incorrectly create a program that outputs the 5. Instead, the program should only output the output parts: Enter x: x doubled is: 10

If the software is designed in an environment where a student interacts with a program, the instructor's example shows both the program's output and the user's access to the program. However, the software does not generate the 5 numbers (or the newline following the 5, which occurs when the user types 5 and presses enter).

Also, if the instructor configured the test cases to observe whitespace, then according to the above example, the program should output a newline after Enter x: (and possibly after the 10, if the instructor's test case expects that). The software below echoes the user's feedback to the output in an inappropriate manner.  Have a go at applying it for grading (click "Submit mode", then "Submit for grading"). It's worth noting that the test cases all fail. The highlighting in the first test case shows that production 3 and newline is unexpected. The 5 and newline in the second test case were unexpected.  Remove the code that causes the user's input to be echoed back to the output and resubmit. Now, all of the test cases should pass. #include using namespace std; int main() { int x; cout x; cout...
