Homework 5 - Lists of Structs

Due: Friday, September 17 Saturday, September 18 at 5pm

Assignment Goals

To make sure you can write data definitions and templates for lists of structures

The Assignment

One of the easiest ways to "make a difference" is to finance small loans to the working poor in developing countries. Web-based microlending institutions facilitate the transfer of money to businesses in need. Lenders provide interest-free, short-term loans in amounts as little as $25. Borrowers use the money to improve or start small businesses, and repay the loans over a matter of months.

In this assignment you will model a list of borrowers waiting for loans. The kind of information that should be stored for each borrower is the borrower's name, the number of people in the borrower's team (sometimes groups of people apply for a single loan), the country the borrower is from, the kind of business the funds are needed for, the amount of the requested loan, and the percentage raised so far (for examples, you can check out the Entrepreneurs page at kiva.org).

Develop data definitions for borrower and list-of-borrower.
Provide an example of list-of-borrower. Your example should contain at least three borrowers.
Write the template(s) for your data definitions in Problem 1.
