Assignment (II)

1. Assume that you want to generate a table of multiples of any given


number. Write a program that allows the user to enter the number
and then generates the table, formatting it into 10 columns and 20
lines. Interaction with the program should look like this (only the
first three lines are shown):

2. Write a temperature-conversion program that gives the user the


option of converting Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Then carry out the conversion. Use floating-point numbers.
Interaction with the program might look like this:
Type 1 to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius,
2 to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: 1
Enter temperature in Fahrenheit: 70
In Celsius that’s 21.111111

3. Create the equivalent of a four-function calculator. The program


should ask the user to enter a number, an operator, and another
number. (Use floating point.) It should then carry out the specified
arithmetical operation: adding, subtracting, multiplying, or
dividing the two numbers. Use a switch statement to select the
operation. Finally, display the result.
When it finishes the calculation, the program should ask whether
the user wants to do another calculation. The response can be ‘y’
or ‘n’. Some sample interaction with the program might look like
this:
4. Use for loops to construct a program that displays a pyramid of Xs
on the screen. The pyramid should look like this

except that it should be 20 lines high, instead of the 5 lines shown


here. One way to do this is to nest two inner loops, one to print
spaces and one to print Xs, inside an outer loop that steps down the
screen from line to line.

5. Modify the FACTOR program in this chapter so that it repeatedly


asks for a number and calculates its factorial, until the user enters
0, at which point it terminates. You can enclose the relevant
statements in FACTOR in a while loop or a do loop to achieve this
effect.

6. Write a program that calculates how much money you’ll end up


with if you invest an amount of money at a fixed interest rate,
compounded yearly. Have the user furnish the initial amount, the
number of years, and the yearly interest rate in percent. Some
interaction with the program might look like this:
At the end of the first year you have 3000 + (3000 * 0.055), which
is 3165. At the end of the second year you have 3165 + (3165 *
0.055), which is 3339.08. Do this as many times as there are years.
A for loop makes the calculation easy.

7. Write a program that repeatedly asks the user to enter two money
amounts expressed in old-style British currency: pounds, shillings,
and pence. (See Exercises 10 and 12 in Chapter 2, “C++
Programming Basics.”) The program should then add the two
amounts and display the answer, again in pounds, shillings, and
pence. Use a do loop that asks the user whether the program should
be terminated. Typical interaction might be

To add the two amounts, you’ll need to carry 1 shilling when the
pence value is greater than 11, and carry 1 pound when there are
more than 19 shillings.

8. Suppose you give a dinner party for six guests, but your table seats
only four. In how many ways can four of the six guests arrange
themselves at the table? Any of the six guests can sit in the first
chair. Any of the remaining five can sit in the second chair. Any of
the remaining four can sit in the third chair, and any of the
remaining three can sit in the fourth chair. (The last two will have
to stand.) So the number of possible arrangements of six guests in
four chairs is 6*5*4*3, which is 360. Write a program that
calculates the number of possible arrangements for any number of
guests and any number of chairs. (Assume there will never be
fewer guests than chairs.) Don’t let this get too complicated. A
simple for loop should do it.
9. Create a three-function calculator for old-style English currency,
where money amounts are specified in pounds, shillings, and
pence. (See Exercises 10 and 12 in Chapter 2.) The calculator
should allow the user to add or subtract two money amounts, or to
multiply a money amount by a floating-point number. (It doesn’t
make sense to multiply two money amounts; there is no such thing
as square money. We’ll ignore division. Use the general style of
the ordinary four-function calculator in Exercise 4 in this chapter.)

10. Create a four-function calculator for fractions. (See Exercise 9 in


Chapter 2, and Exercise 4 in this chapter.) Here are the formulas
for the four arithmetic operations applied to fractions:

The user should type the first fraction, an operator, and a second
fraction. The program should then display the result and ask
whether the user wants to continue.
