The document outlines a C++ programming assignment divided into three parts: the first part requires a program to count lowercase letters in a user-inputted line, the second part asks for a program to find the largest of three integers, and the third part involves temperature conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius using functions. Each part emphasizes the need for proper formatting, appropriate comments, and includes sample runs for clarity. The implementation must incorporate specific programming techniques such as parameterized functions and call-by-reference.
