b. Four cout statements 2 marks

4. Write an application that asks the user to enter two numbers, obtains the numbers from
the user and prints the sum, product, difference and quotient (division) of the numbers.
5 marks

3. Create a program that prompts a user for her name and return a greeting back to the user
using her name. 1 mark
4. Create a new program that prompts the user for the current year and the year he or she was

Worksheet 2
Due: February 14, 2019
____________________________________________________________________________

1. A program is required to read a customer’s name, and purchase amount and determine the
sales tax based on the following;

Purchase Amount Sales Tax rate (% of purchase amount)

Below 300 tax exempt (0%)
300 to 1000 sales tax (3%)
Over 1000 but lesser than 5000 sales tax (5%)
5000 and over sales tax (9%)

The program must then compute the sales tax and the total amount due, and print the customer’s
name, purchase amount, sales tax and total amount due. 10 marks

2. Create a counting program that counts from 0 to 300 in increments of 30.

3 marks

3. Create a counting program that counts backward from 1000 to 0 in increments of 100.
3 marks

4. Write a program that does the following sequence of tasks:

i. Generate a random number in the range of 1 to 50
ii. Prompt the user to guess the number that was generated. Your program should not accept
more than 5 guesses from the user.
iii. If the user guess the number correctly, print the statement “Bingo, You guessed right”; if
the user enters an incorrect guess print the statement (“I’m sorry please try again and the
number of chances left”) 10 marks

5. Design an algorithm that will prompt for and receive an age in years and calculate and display
the age in months. If the calculated months figure is more than 300, four asterisks should also
appear beside the month figure. Your program is to continue processing until a sentinel of 555 is
entered. 5 marks

6. Write an application that inputs from the user the radius of a circle and prints the circle’s
diameter, circumference and area. Use the value 3.14159 for π. Use the following formulae:
Diameter=2r
Circumference = 2πr
Area = πr2 6 marks
7. Write an application that reads five integers and determine and print the largest and smallest
integers in the group. 6 marks
8. Write an application that reads in two integers and determines and print if the first is a
multiple of the second. [Hint: use the modulus operator] 5 marks

Functions
1. Write a function prototype for the following components: 12 marks
a. i. A function <Sum> that accepts two parameters and calculate and prints their sum.
ii. A function <Sum> that accepts three parameters and calculate and prints their
sum.
Iii A function <Sum> that accepts four parameters and calculate and prints their sum.

b. A function <Shout> that accepts a string as its parameter and display it, following by the
cursor on a new line.

c. A function <Remainder> that accepts two parameters, divides them and returns the
remainder.

d. A function <Quotient> that accepts two parameters, calculates and return the quotient of
the two numbers.

e. A function <Larger> that accepts two parameters; it should then finds the larger of two
numbers and returns the result

g. A function <Calculator> that prints an the menu below—it receives no parameters

and returns no value

CALCULATOR – MENU

1………Sum
2………Quotient
3………Remainder
4……....Larger
5………Exit

2. Build the function definitions for each preceding function prototype. 32 marks
3. Create the following main method:

int main()
{
int a,b,c,d;
int choice=0;
Shout(“Enter a number”);
cin>>a;
Shout(“Enter a number”);
cin>>b;
Shout(“Enter a number”);
cin>>c;
Shout(“Enter a number”);
cin>>d;

while (choice != 5){

//call the calculator method here
if (choice = = 1){
cout<<Sum(a, b);
//print the sum of the first three numbers
//print the sum of the four numbers
}
else if(choice = = 2){
//print the quotient of the first two numbers
//use the quotient method
}
else if(choice = = 3){
//print the remainder of the first number divided by the second
//use the remainder method
}
else if(choice = =4){
//use the Larger method to print the larger of the first two numbers
}
cin>>choice;
}

return 0;
} 14 marks

Based Arrays, Pointers, Strings
1. Build a program that uses a single dimension array to store 7 numbers inputted by a user. After
Inputting the numbers, the user should see a menu with two options to quit or to print the 7
numbers. 10 marks

2. Create a student GPA average calculator. The program should prompt the user to enter up to 5
GPAs, which are stored in a singledimension array. Each time he or she enters a GPA, the user
should have the option to calculate the current GPA average or enter another GPA. Sample data
for this program is shown below.
∙ GPA: 3.5
∙ GPA: 2.8
∙ GPA: 3.0
∙ GPA: 2.5
∙ GPA: 4.0
∙ GPA: 3.9
