Prepare your solutions to these homework problems as a single Word document named hw.docx or a plain text file named hw.txt. Turn in this file as described in the Project 2 specification.

1. What is the output produced by the following program segment? Don't just run it — trace through it and figure it out by hand (which is a skill you'll need for the exams).

   	string grendel = "endl";
   	cout << "endl";
   	cout << grendel;
   	cout << endl;
   	cout << "grendel";
   

2. Consider the following program:

   	#include <iostream>
   	using namespace std;
   
   	int main()
   	{
   	    int len;
   
   	    cout << "Enter a number: ";
   	    cin >> len;
   
   	    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
   	    {
   	        for (int j = i+1; j < len; j++)
   	        {
   	            cout << " ";
   	        }
   	        cout << "#" << endl;
   	    }
   	}
   

   In a brief, simple English sentence, state what this program does (e.g. "It prints a picture of a lantern fish.", not "First it does blah blah blah, then it yada yada yada, then ..."). Again, figure this out by hand.

3. Copy the program in problem 2 and change it so that for any input number, the changed program produces exactly the same output as the original, but the changed program uses a while loop instead of a for loop for the inner loop.

4. Assume month has been previously declared as an int and given a meaningful value. Write a switch statement that for any value of month, produces exactly the same output as the following if statement.

   	if (month == 6)
   	    cout << "summer solstice";
   	else if (month == 12)
   	    cout << "winter solstice";
   	else if (month == 3  ||  month == 9)
   	    cout << "equinox";
   	else
   	    cout << "nothing special";
