Another 'problem' is what you failed to mention in your post, but is apparent from the 
instructions that you posted -- this assignment is NOT the complete program, just the beginning 
of one.  Your instructor obviously wants you to work on (and understand) this program fragment 
before continuing with the rest of it.
