1) Suppose we want to keep the following information for each student in the department:

ID - long integer
Phone Number - 3 pieces (area code (integer), prefix (integer), and suffix (integer))
Date of Birth - 3 pieces (month (integer), day (integer), and year (integer) )
Overall GPA - float
First Letter of Last name - char
First Letter of First Name - char

Assuming we don't know about structures and classes, how do you assign these values to student1?  Write the program segment that declares the required variables, then assign the following values to student1:

ID - 444444444
Phone Number (3 pieces) - 828, 888, 8888
Date of Birth (3 pieces) - 11, 21, 1985
Overall GPA - 3.45
First Letter of Last Name: T
First Letter of First Name: R

How do you assign the values to student1 and student2 in the same program?  Write the program segment that declares the required variables, then assign the values to student1 and student2.   Here is the information on student2:

ID - 555555555
Phone Number (3 pieces) - 828, 777, 7777
Date of Birth (3 pieces) - 9, 2, 1965
Overall GPA - 3.05
First Letter of Last Name: S
First Letter of First Name: G

As you have noticed, assigning such values to many students without packing all of this information into one variable is a very difficult task.
 
  Optional exercises:

2) Write the program segment that determines which one of these two students is younger.

3) Write the program segment to determine whether these students have the same area code.
