Exercise Sheet 1 COMP-255 C++ Additional Exercises (Book Ch. 1, 2, 3, 4)

This document contains 4 exercises involving programming in C++. (1) Writes a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game that takes input from two players and determines a winner based on the rules. (2) Programs that take a digit integer as input, and separates/prints the digits with spacing. The second part allows a user-defined number of digits. (3) Takes a purchase price and cash payment in cents as input and calculates change in dollars and coins. (4) Writes a program to solve quadratic equations given coefficients a, b, c using the quadratic formula, handling cases where there are no real solutions.

EXERCISE SHEET 1

COMP-255 C++ Additional Exercises (book ch. 1, 2, 3, 4)

(1) Write and run a program that plays the game of “Rock, paper, scissors”. In this game,
two players simultaneously say (or display a hand symbol representing) either “rock”,
“paper” or “scissors”. The winner is the one whose choice dominates the other. The
rules are: paper dominates (wraps) rock, rock dominates (breaks) scissors, and
scissors dominate (cut) paper. If the choices of the players are the same (for example,
both choose ‘r’), then there is a tie. (The two players/users will enter ‘r’, ‘p’ or ‘s’
representing rock, paper and scissors respectively.
Example execution:

Please choose rock (r), paper (p) or scissors (s).


Player 1: r
Player 2: s
Player 1 wins!

Another example:
Please choose rock (r), paper (p) or scissors (s).
Player 1: p
Player 2: p
This is a tie!

(2) a) Write a program that will read a 4-digit integer and print out each digit of the
integer separated by two spaces.
Example run:

Please enter the 4-digit integer: 3215


The digits in number 3215 are: 3 2 1 5

b) Modify the program you wrote above to work for a user-defined number of digits
(not more than 5), as follows:
Example run:

Please enter the number of digits in the integer (not more


than 5): 5
Please enter the 4-digit integer: 13725
The digits in number 13725 are: 1 3 7 2 5

HINTS: Use switch (remember we have not yet covered loops). In this program you
may need to use the function pow(x, y) which returns xy (for example pow(2, 7)
returns 128 of type double). For this you will need to include the header file cmath by
adding the line
#include <cmath>
at the beginning of the source file. Make sure you check that the integers entered are
within the valid ranges. In case of the integers being too long, the program should
terminate with the appropriate message to the user.
(3) Write a program that reads the purchase price of an item and the cash payment amount and
prints out the change in dollars, quarters (25c), dimes (10c), nickels (5c) and pennies (1c).
Both the purchase price and the cash payment amount are entered as integer values in cents.
For example if the input is:
1249 1500
then the output would be:
Dollars: 2, Quarters: 2, Dimes: 0, Nickels: 0 and Pennies: 1

(4) Write and test a program that solves quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is an
equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a, b, c are given coefficients and x is the
unknown. The coefficients are real number inputs. Since quadratic equations have two
solutions, use x1 and x2 for the solution output. The solution(s) to the quadratic
equation is given by the quadratic formula:

 b  b 2  4ac
x
2a
Your program should make sure that a is NOT zero (otherwise the equation is not
quadratic and you should therefore exit). If the discriminant d (b2-4ac) is negative
then the output should be “The equation has no real solutions, d<0”.

Example execution:

Enter the coefficients of the quadratic equation: 2, 1, -6


The solutions are:
X1= 1.5
X2= -2

Another example:

Enter the coefficients of the quadratic equation: 1, 4, 5


The equation has no real solutions, d<0.

Another example:

Enter the coefficients of the quadratic equation: 0, 4, 5


This is not a quadratic equation, a is 0.

You will need to use the sqrt() function as follows to find one of the solutions:

X=(-b+sqrt(d))/(2*a);

For the sqrt() function you will need to include the header file math.h (The sqrt()
function will return a type double).
