Chapter 1, Problem 4PP

A government research lab has concluded that an artificial sweetener commonly used in diet soda pop will cause death in laboratory mice. A friend of yours is desperate to lose weight but cannot give up soda pop. Your friend wants to know how much diet soda pop it is possible to drink without dying as a result. Write a program to supply the answer. The program has no input but does have defined constants for the following items: the amount of artificial sweetener needed to kill a mouse, the weight of the mouse, the starting weight of the dieter, and the desired weight of the dieter. To ensure the safety of your friend, be sure the program uses the weight at which the dieter will stop dieting, rather than the dieter's current weight, to calculate how much soda pop the dieter can safely drink. You may use any reasonable values for these defined constants. Assume that diet soda contains 1/l0th of 1 % artificial sweetener. Use another named constant for this fraction. You may want to express the percent as the double value 0. 001. (If your program turns out not to use a defined constant, you may remove that defined constant from your program.)

Write a program that tells what coins to give out for any amount of changefrom 1 cent to 99 cents. For example, if the amount is 86 cents, the outputwould be something like the following:86 cents can be given as3 quarter(s) 1 dime(s) and 1 penny(pennies)Use coin denominations of 25 cents (quarters), 10 cents (dimes), and1 cent (pennies). Do not use nickel and half-dollar coins. Your programwill use the following function (among others):void computeCoins(int coinValue, int& num, int& amountLeft);//Precondition: 0 < coinValue < 100; 0 <= amountLeft < 100.//Postcondition: num has been set equal to the maximum number//of coins of denomination coinValue cents that can be obtained//from amountLeft. Additionally, amountLeft has been decreased//by the value of the coins, that is, decreased by//num * coinValue For example, suppose the value of the variable amountLeft is 86. Then,after the following call, the value of number will be 3 and the value ofamountLeft will be 11…
Write a program that prints a grocery receipt of items purchased. The program must create variables for the following items: Milk = $2.00 Eggs =  $ 3.00 Bread =$4.00 Orange Juice =$3.50 Apples = $4.00 Cookies = $3.25 Water = $3.00 A coupon of $1.00 was used. use a constant for a coupon.  Calculate the bill, assume that 1 unit of all items was purchased
The Research team led by Bernadette Wolowitz at Cal-tech University has discovered a new Amoeba that grows in the order of a Fibonacci series every month. They are exhibiting this amoeba in a national. conference. They want to know the size of the amoeba at a particular time instant. If a particular month's index is given, write a program to display the amoeba's size. For Example, the size of the amoeba on month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,... will be 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.... respectively.
