Assignment 1 – PART2 (LAB)

1. Write a program that asks the user to enter two numbers, obtains them from the
user and prints their sum, product, difference, quotient and remainder (10
Points).

2. Write a program that asks the user to enter two integers, obtains the numbers from
the user, then prints the larger number followed by the words “is larger.” If the
numbers are equal, print the message “These numbers are equal.” (10 Points)

3. Write a program that reads in the radius of a circle and prints the circle’s diameter,
circumference and area. Use the constant value 3.14159 for Π. Perform each of
these calculations inside the printf statement(s) and use the conversion specifier
%f. (15 Points)

4. Write a program that reads in two integers and determines and prints whether the
first is a multiple of the second. [Hint: Use the remainder operator.] (15 Points)

5. Write a program that prints the following shapes with asterisks. (10 Points)
********* *** * *
* * * * *** * *
* * * * ***** * *
* * * * * * *

6. Develop a C program that will determine whether a department store customer has
exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following
facts are available: (25 Points)
a. Account number
b. Balance at the beginning of the month
c. Total of all items charged by this customer this month
d. Total of all credits applied to this customer's account this month
e. Allowed credit limit
5
Computer Programming, I – Fall 2021

The program should input each fact, calculate the new balance (= beginning
balance + charges – credits) , and determine whether the new balance exceeds the
customer's credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the
program should display the customer's account number, credit limit, new balance
and the message “Credit limit exceeded.” Here is a sample input/output dialog:

Enter account number (-1 to end): 100

Enter beginning balance: 5394.78
Enter total charges: 1000.00
Enter total credits: 500.00
Enter credit limit: 5500.00
Account: 100
Credit limit: 5500.00
Balance: 5894.78
Credit Limit Exceeded.
Enter account number (-1 to end): 200
Enter beginning balance: 1000.00
Enter total charges: 123.45
Enter total credits: 321.00
Enter credit limit: 1500.00

Enter account number (-1 to end): 300

Enter beginning balance: 500.00
Enter total charges: 274.73
Enter total credits: 100.00
Enter credit limit: 800.00
Enter account number (-1 to end): -1
7. Drivers are concerned with the mileage obtained by their automobiles. One driver
has kept track of several tankfuls of gasoline by recording miles driven and gallons
used for each tankful. Develop a program that will input the miles driven and
gallons used for each tankful. The program should calculate and display the miles
per gallon obtained for each tankful. After processing all input information, the
program should calculate and print the combined miles per gallon obtained for all
tankfuls. Here is a sample input/output dialog: (25 Points)

Enter the gallons used (-1 to end): 12.8

Enter the miles driven: 287
The miles/gallon for this tank was 22.421875
Enter the gallons used (-1 to end): 10.3
Enter the miles driven: 200
The miles/gallon for this tank was 19.417475
Enter the gallons used (-1 to end): 5
6
Computer Programming, I – Fall 2021

Enter the miles driven: 120

The miles/gallon for this tank was 24.000000
Enter the gallons used (-1 to end): -1
The overall average miles/gallon was 21.601423
