Programming Fundamentals Lab Tasks

This document outlines 5 programming tasks for a fundamentals lab. Task 1 involves writing functions to calculate the sum of terms in a series given inputs for the number of terms and value of x. Task 2 involves writing a function to check if a number is perfect, then a program to print all perfect numbers between 1 and 1000 along with their factors. Task 3-5 instruct students to solve programming exercises from their textbook. Proper code formatting and naming is emphasized.

Programming Fundamentals – Spring 2011


(BS-SE-F10 Morning & Afternoon)
Lab # 3

Task # 1 
In this task, you are required to use separate functions to calculate the sum of the first few terms
(as specified by the user) of the following series:
x x 2 x3
f ( x) = 1 − + − + ...
1! 2! 3!
Your program will take two integers from the user:
ƒ Number of terms (n) of the above series for which the sum is required. Your program
should make sure that n > 0.
ƒ The value of x. Your program should make sure that x > 1.

The main function of your program MUST look exactly as follows. You can not even slightly
change this main function.

int main()
{
int n = getNumberOfTerms();
int x = getX ();
double sum = calculateSumOfSeries (x,n);

cout << "Sum of series is: " << setprecision(3) << sum << endl;

return 0;
}

Apart from the three functions which have been highlighted (in blue color) in the above main
function, you are also required to implement a function for finding the factorial of a given
integer, and a function to calculate the power. (Note: You cannot use any function from cmath
library)

Task # 2 
• A positive integer is called perfect if its factors including 1 (but not the number itself) sum up
to the number itself. For example, 6 is a perfect number because 1+2+3 = 6. Write a function:
bool isPerfect (int n)
which determines whether the number n is a perfect number or not. This function should
return true if n is a perfect number, otherwise it should return false.

• Now, use the above function to write a program which prints all perfect numbers between 1
and 1000. (Note: Your program will not take any input from the user)

• Now, modify your program so that it also displays the factors for each perfect number
displayed.

Task # 3 
Solve Prog. Ex. # 5 on Page 341 of your text book

Task # 4 
Solve Prog. Ex. # 6 on Page 341-342 of your text book

Task # 5 
Solve Prog. Ex. # 7 on Page 342 of your text book

Note: 
• Indent your code properly.
• Use meaningful variable names.
