Problem Description: The bird of paradise called the Helipixsal is renowned for its magnificent tail feathers which range in number from five to nine ornate feathers each of a different length. Their "magnificence" is quantified by the rather simple process of counting the exact number of tail feathers and multiplying this by the difference in the length of the minimum and maximum lengths of tail feather. You are to write a simple program that will allow the user to enter the length of each tail feather individually and keep on entering feathers until a -1 is entered. The program will then return the quantified "magnificence" factor.

Problem C: Snake Eves on Crazy Dice Write a program that simulates rolling two twenty-sided dice 100000 times, counting now many times the sum of the two dice is 2. Based on these results as well as the results of the program (snakeeyes.py) shown in class, make a guess as to how often one can expect to roll snake-eyes (two Is) on a pair of dice labeled I through n, for any positive integer n. Sample Run You got snake-eyes 35 times out of 100000. That is .035 percent of the time. Roughly, that is 1 in 2857 times. Note: The numbers shown above are NOT realistic. This is just to show the format desired for your output. In Python Code

in C# Sometimes figuring letter grades is hard. Write a program that asks for, and reads from the user, a midterm exam grade and a final exam grade. Compute the average of those two grades and ouput a letter grade based on the scale shown below. CHALLENGE PROBLEM: One of my graduate school classes modified the above calculation. This professor said that the final grade would be determined by the simple average of the midterm and the final, however, if the student scored better on the final than they did on the midterm, the professor would weight the midterm exam at 25%, and the final exam at 75% when computing the final grade. Modify your code to use this professors modification in determining letter grade. Here is the grading scale:
C++ Programming Exercise: A real estate office handles, say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, $600 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say, $40 increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an average of $27 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to maximize the profit? Write a program that prompts the user to enter: a. The total number of of units. b. The rent to occupy all the units. c. The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit. d. Amount to maintain a rented unit. The program then outputs the number of units to be rented to maximize the profit.

Programming Problem 3 – Broken GPS Consider yourself driving with 60 miles/hour in a city that has only grid like streets, and your GPS is broken. The specifications of the problem are: • With (x, y) as the coordinates of the car, consider the initial position (0,0). • At each intersection, the only directions available are North, South, East or West • The GPS is broken, and it chooses the direction randomly at each intersection, which happens every 5 minutes • The assumption is that the car has the same speed at all times, including when it changes direction and turns. Write a program that calculates the direct distance from the initial point to the location point of the driver after one hour of driving (i.e. the distance between two points). Java Progra

4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }

When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)
