3.1-3.3
|
|
- Extend helloWorld"
program so that each word is written on a separate line. Do this first
with 2 print(ln)
statements, and then with one only.
Update: The newest compiler download instructions
can be found here

- Extend tax1 program so that the user can
enter number of items as well. Display pre-tax total, tax amount and tota in a form of store receipt.
- Write the program to solve the "returned
change" problem. Use % and operators.

- Extend simpleQuad
program so that (1) discriminant is calculated
only once and (2) output resembles the following form: Solutions to
equation 1.0*x^2 + 5.0*x + 6.0 = 0 are -2.0 and -3.0. The program has to
work for any a,b and
c.
- Implement the "Heron formula" program

|
|
- Extend simpleQuad,
so that the user can enter the coefficients.
- Write the program that accepts 2 numbers as
input, displays the larger one, or (if they are equal) informs the user
that the numbers are equal
- Write the program that converts letter grade to
Grade Points. Use if statements

- Extend ifTax
program so it checks f income is negative (in which case you should stop
processing) and calculates effective tax percentage (tax/income*100)
- Write a program that accepts age and income.
Write a message such as: "You
are old and rich" (for income > 100,000 and age > 70), "You
are poor and old" (for income < 100,000 and age > 70) etc.
Write an error message if either income or age is negative. Use
constants OLD_AGE, and
LOTS_OF_MONEY

3.3 (strings)
|
|
- Write the program that converts letter grade to
Grade points. Use switch statement
- Redo tax1 program with improved formating
- Extend the milDiff
program so that there is no restriction on minutes (still assume that
the first time is larger than the second). Also, quit if hours and
minutes are not within allowable range, and do not hardcode the times.
If you still have time, make the program handle seconds as well. Question:
Where does "528" come from?

- modify whileAvg
program so that the user is able to enter the weight of each grade. Do
not ask the user whether they want to enter another grade. Instead make
a decision based on the total of weights being equal to 100%. If at any
time this total exceeds 100%, enter into an error loop and let the user
know what the max remaining grade weight is

- in methodTable
program, make your table look the way you did in box program
- extend the methodTax
program so that it includes all 4 schedules
- rewrite betterWhileAvg
in the same way you did whileAvg. Make
sure that all error loops are methods

|
|
- rewrite your homework Grades1 so that it uses
arrays. Your main needs to contain three method calls:
inputGrades
calculateStudentAvg
displayStudentAvg
- Note: xxxStudentAvg methods should process only a single student.
That means that your main program will still have the main student loop.

Sorting
|
- convert one of the sort algorithms so that it can sort
strings and where user can choose descending or ascending sort order.
Let the user enter the names. Your main program should consist of only 3
methods :
inputNames
sortNames
displaySortedNames
|
bubble
selection
|

Other array algorithms
|
- Rewrite all (well, at least some) array
algorithms so that they use a.length field instead of separate count variable n. Do they have the same value?
