(c) Samantha and Frankim are looking to buy a house in a new development. After
looking at various models, the three models they like are massionate, bungalow, and
SQ. The builder gave them the base price and the finished area in square feet of
the three models. They want to know the model(s) with the least price per square
foot. Write a program that accepts as input the base price and the finished area in
square feet of the three models.

The program outputs the model(s) with the least price per square foot [8 marks]

Question 5(20 Marks).

Outline main errors in programming . Give example of each. [6 marks]


Define the following items
Arrays
Structure
function implementation [6 marks]
A real estate office handles, say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, kshs
60000 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say, kshs 4000
increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an
average of kshs 2700 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to
maximize the profit? Write a program that prompts the user to enter:
The rent to occupy all the units. [2 marks]
The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit. [2 marks]
Amount to maintain a rented unit. [2 marks]
The program then outputs the number of units to be rented to maximize the profit.
[2 marks]
