The application should display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent. For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD the application should display 555-438-3663.

- Programming C++As a programmer, someone requested you to make a receipt of orders in Starbucks such as, Cappuccino (tall) ₱140.00 Cappuccino (grande) ₱155.00 Cappuccino (venti) ₱170.00 Black Tea Latte (tall) ₱140.00 Black Tea Latte (grande) ₱155.00 The total amount of orders is 760 pesos and the customer gives 1000 pesos so the exchange is 240. Give the source code that you will use for the receipt.arrow_forwardassignment is to write a program that helps an interactive user search for “near misses” of the form (x, y, z, n, k) in the formula xn + yn = zn, where x, y, z, n, k are positive integers, where 2< n <12, where 10 <= x <= k, and where 10 <= y <= k. When your program starts, it should ask the user for n (the power to use in the equation) and ask the user of k (which limits the range of x and y possibilities to test). For now I am not limiting k, except to say that it should be > 10. You may want to impose an upper limit on k if you find that your program is crashing due to overflowing integer variables, but don’t make it TOO small, or you will limit the kinds of near misses you can find. Your program should then look for “near misses” of the form xn + yn <> zn. A “near miss” is a RELATIVELY small difference between (xn + yn) and znfor some integers x, y, and z. Your program should systematically search for x, y, and z combinations that are “almost right.” NOTE…arrow_forwardWhat is the output of the following code segment?inte=5,f=10;if(eff0)Write(Purple) inte=5,f=10;if(eff0)Write(Purple) else Write(Gold); Purple Gold PurpleGold nothingarrow_forward

- Write a program that translates a letter grade into a number grade. Letter grades are A, B, C, D, and E, possibly followed by + or -. Their numeric values are 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0. There is no F+ or F-. A + increases the numeric value by O.3, a – decreases it by 0.3. However, an A+ has value 4.0. Enter a letter grade: B- The numeric value is 2.7.arrow_forwardPlease try this code: (equal? '(hi there) '(hi there)) (eqv?

I will calculate each course average for each group and show in simple bar graph. Use "*" and "#"characters for group1 and group2, respectively. I will see the number -999 at the end of each line in the input files. This value is used for line termination and you can use it to verify that you have arrived at the end of the line. The averages of each group should also be calculated and printed at the end of the file.

That is, neither variables nor brackets are allowed. It contains only numbers and four arithmetic operators, +, -, *, and /. The following are some examples of arithmetic expression: Any number string with or without signs - e.g. 3, -1, +10, 3.14, -0.70 and 099. Number strings mixed with arithmetic operators - e.g. 3+5, -1+2*3, 7/10-0.7, and -1.4-+8.2. An example of FA diagram for recognising a non-negative integer is given below. You may use it as a start point. You need to add a few more states and transitions to handle numbers with decimal point and signs (e.g. -5, +2, 0.21, -32.6, +99.05, but not the form 1.0E-3). Most importantly, you also need to add a few more things to deal with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, /.arrow_forward
