 ======Project: PROCESS IMPLEMENTATION - GRADE FIGURE-OUTERER (gfo0)======
+=====Errata=====
+  * __correction__: There was a bug in my **flattenstatus** script; if you ran it before 8:20am on Wednesday, April 13th, then you may have incorrect data. Re-run it to generate a fresh and correct copy. (20160413)

 This information has been accessible via the **status** tool.
+=====Program=====
+Throughout the semester, your class-related activities have been numerically captured and made available to you via the **status** tool.
-=====Task=====
+Now that we are nearing the end, and your programming skillset is significantly expanded, I would like you to write a program to take this data and calculate your grade (reflective of currently recorded data).
-The task at hand can benefit from loop and array assistance.
-For instance, taking the number input and processing it so each digit occupies its own array element would facilate your efforts in the overall task-- a process strongly resembling some of the work you had to do in the **mbe1** project to get your input ready for the multiply by 11 activity.
+I've designed a tool that will take all your **status** data and 'flatten' it... converting all the necessary data into one stream of values. To obtain this data, simply run the **flattenstatus** command and the file **status.flat** will be created in your current working directory.
-=====Functions=====
+For example:
-As indicated, this task shares many attributes with the **mbe1** project; in fact, the mental math process itself may be slightly simpler. That affords us the opportunity to introduce and learn about further programming optimizations, without the concurrent burden of new concepts.
-Specifically, we will look at modularizing aspects of our solution, using functions, to make for a cleaner, more organized codebase.
+<cli>
+lab46:~/src/cprog/gfo0$ flattenstatus
+lab46:~/src/cprog/gfo0$ cat status.flat
+-1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 -2 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 -3 11 13 6 9 4 9 5 9 6 9 19 20 6 0 18 20 -4
+lab46:~/src/cprog/gfo0$
+</cli>
-We've been using functions all along (everytime you use **fprintf()** or **fscanf()**, for instance), but the value is not just in using pre-existing ones, but also in making our own to use.
+Your program needs to do the following:
+  * check for and open the **status.flat** file
+    * if error occurs, display message and exit
+  * reading one integer at a time, load the values into an array according to their category
+  * there will be three categories (arrays), each one identified by a header/sentinel value:
+    * -1 indicates the start of participation data (28% of grade)
+    * -2 indicates end of participation data / start of journal data (36% of grade)
+    * -3 indicates end of journal data / start of project data (36% of grade)
+    * -4 indicates end of project data (and end of data stream)
+  * once loaded into their arrays, calculate the grade component
+  * tally up all three, and print out the results
+Final program output should resemble the following:
+<cli>
+lab46:~/src/cprog/gfo0$ ./mygrade
+Participation Component: 20 / 28
+Journal Component:       20 / 36
+Projects Component:      30 / 36

 You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational mismatches.
