  1. What is the signature of a function and how is a function’s signature related to name mangling in C++? How do you think this facilitates how overloaded functions are handled internally by the compiler?
  2. Write a small C++ program to prompt a user to enter information regarding a Student, and print out the data. Use the following steps to write your code:
    1. Create a data type for Student using a class or struct. Student information should minimally include firstName, lastName, gpa, and the currentCourse in which the Student is registered. This information may be stored in a simple class. You may utilize either char arrays to represent the string fields since we have not yet covered pointers, or you may (preferably) utilize the string type. Also, you may read in this information in the main() function rather than creating a separate function to read in the data (since the latter will require knowledge of pointers or references).
