Problem 1 Programming Exercises (2.17)

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of health based on weight. It can be calculated by
taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by the square of your height in meters.
Write a program that prompts the user to enter a weight in pounds and height in inches
and displays the BMI.

Note that one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms and one inch is 0.0254 meters.
Here is a sample run:

Enter weight in pounds: 95.5 <enter>


Enter height in inches: 50 <enter>
BMI is 26.857257942215885

Solution

Phase 1: Problem-Solving Phase:


1- Ask the user to enter the weight in pounds (weight_in_pounds).
o Use the input function to read inputs from the user.
o Use the eval function to evaluate the string input to numbers.
o weight_in_pounds = eval(input("message…"))
2- Ask the user to enter the height in inches (height_in_inches).
o height_in_inches = eval(input("message…"))
3- Convert the weight in pounds (weight_in_pounds) to kilograms (weight_in_kilograms).
o Note: one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms. Define this value as a constant
(ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS) to easily use it later in calculations.
o ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS = 0.45359237
o Multiply weight_in_pounds by ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS to get the weight in
kilograms. Why? To convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide it by the number of smaller units which
are needed to make larger unit. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply.
o weight_in_kilograms = weight_in_pounds * ONE_POUND_TO_KILOGRAMS
4- Convert the height in inches (height_in_inches) to meters (height_in_meters).
o Note: one inch is 0.0254 meters. Define this value as a constant (ONE_INCH_IN_METERS)
to easily use it later in calculations.
2
o ONE_INCH_IN_METERS = 0.0254
o Multiply height_in_inches by ONE_INCH_IN_METERS to get the height in meters. Why? To
convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide it by the number of smaller units which are needed to make
larger unit. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply.
o height_in_meters = height_in_inches * ONE_INCH_IN_METERS
5- Calculate the body mass index (bmi).
o Note:
o bmi = weight_in_kilograms / (height_in_meters * height_in_meters)
6- Display the results (bmi).
Phase 2: Implementation Phase:
1. Create a new project and name it “Lab 4”.
2. Create a new file and name it “activity_1.py”.
3. Write the following code in the file:
activity_1.py
1 # Ask the user to enter the weight in pounds
2 weight_in_pounds = eval(input("Enter weight in pounds: "))
3
4 # Ask the user to enter the height in inches
5 height_in_inches = eval(input("Enter height in inches: "))
6
7 # Convert the weight in pounds to kilograms
8 ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS = 0.45359237
9 weight_in_kilograms = ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS * weight_in_pounds
10
11 # Convert the height in inches to meters
12 ONE_INCH_IN_METERS = 0.0254
13 height_in_meters = height_in_inches * ONE_INCH_IN_METERS
14
15 # Calculate the body mass index (BMI)
16 bmi = weight_in_kilograms / (height_in_meters * height_in_meters)
17
18 # Display the result
19 print("BMI is", bmi)

Problem 2 Programming Exercises (2.19)

Write a program that reads in an investment amount, the annual interest rate, and the
number of years, and displays the future investment value using the following formula:

For example, if you enter the amount 1000, an annual interest rate of 4.25%, and the
number of years as 1, the future investment value is 1043.33. Here is a sample run:

Enter investment amount: 1000 <enter>


Enter annual interest rate: 4.25 <enter>
Enter number of years: 1 <enter>
Accumulated value is 1043.33

Solution

Phase 1: Problem-Solving Phase:


1- Ask the user to enter the investment amount (investmentAmount).
o investmentAmount = eval(input("message…"))
2- Ask the user to enter the annual interest rate (annualInterestRate).
o annualInterestRate = eval(input("message…"))
3- Ask the user to enter the number of years (numberOfYears).
o numberOfYears = eval(input("message…"))
4- Calculate the monthly interest rate (monthlyInterestRate).
o Note that the annual interest rate (annualInterestRate) is in percentage (%). If you want
to use it in a calculation, you have to remove the percentage (%) first by dividing the value
(rate) by 100.
o 1 Year = 12 Months
o monthlyInterestRate = (annualInterestRate / 100) / 12
5- Calculate the number of months (numberOfMonths).
o 1 Year = 12 Months
o numberOfMonths = numberOfYears * 12
6- Calculate the future investment value (futureValue).
o futureValue = investmentAmount * ((1 + monthlyInterestRate)
** numberOfMonths)
o You can use the line continuation symbol (\) to split the statement line into two lines.
o futureValue = investmentAmount * \
o ((1 + monthlyInterestRate) ** numberOfMonths)
7- Display the result (futureValue).

Phase 2: Implementation Phase:
1. Open the project “Lab 4” if it was not opened or create it if it was not existing.
2. Create a new file and name it “activity_2.py”.
3. Write the following code in the file:
activity_2.py
1 # Enter the investment amount
2 investmentAmount = eval(
3 input("Enter the investment amount, for example 120000.95: "))
4 # Enter yearly interest rate
5 annualInterestRate = eval(
6 input("Enter annual interest rate, for example 8.25: "))
7 # Enter number of years
8 numberOfYears = eval(
9 input("Enter number of years as an integer, for example 5: "))
10
11 # Calculate monthly interest rate
12 monthlyInterestRate = (annualInterestRate / 100) / 12
13 # Calculate the number of months
14 numberOfMonths = numberOfYears * 12
15 # Calculate the future investment value
16 futureValue = investmentAmount * \
17 ((1 + monthlyInterestRate) ** numberOfMonths)
18
19 # Display the result
20 print("Future value is", int(futureValue * 100) / 100.0)

Individual Activities (60 minutes)

Problem 3 Programming Exercises (2.5)

Write a program that reads the subtotal and the gratuity rate and computes the gratuity
and total. For example, if the user enters 10 for the subtotal and 15% for the gratuity rate,
the program displays 1.5 as the gratuity and 11.5 as the total.
Here is a sample run of the program:

Enter the subtotal and a gratuity rate: 15.69, 15 <enter>


The gratuity is 2.35 and the total is 18.04

Problem 4 Programming Exercises (2.20)

If you know the balance and the annual percentage interest rate, you can compute the
interest on the next monthly payment using the following formula:

Write a program that reads the balance and the annual percentage interest rate and
displays the interest for the next month. Here is a sample run:

Enter balance and interest rate (e.g., 3 for 3%): 1000, 3.5 <enter>
The interest is 2.91667
