Chapter 2, Problem 1P

A metric ton is 35,273.92 ounces. Write a program that will read the weight of a package of breakfast cereal in ounces and output the weight in metric tons as well as the number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

Program Plan Intro

Weight of breakfast package

Program Plan:

  • Include required header files.
  • Initializes “const” variable “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” to “35273.92”.
  • Define main function,
    • Declare three variables in “double” datatype.
    • Declare a “char” variable for user option.
    • Then performs “do-while” loop.
      • Prompt statement for read the weight of packages in ounces.
      • Read the weight of packages from user.
      • Compute the weight in metric tons using “ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” and then store it in a variable “weightMetricTon”.
      • Compute the number of boxes required to produce “1” metric ton using “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces” and then store it in a variable “no_of_boxes”.
      • Display the weight in metric tons and number of boxes.
      • Prompt statement for read the user option to continue the calculation.
      • Read the user option.
    • Check the user option using “while” loop. If the user entered option is equal to “y” or “Y” then continue the above process.
      • Otherwise, the program terminated.
Program Description Answer

The below program is used to compute the weight of package of breakfast cereal in metric tons and number of boxes from the given weight of package in ounces

Explanation of Solution

Program:

//Header file

#include <iostream>

//For standard input and output

using namespace std;

/* Initializes the const variable "OUNCES_PER_METRICTON" to "35273.92" */

const double OUNCES_PER_METRICTON = 35273.92;

//Define main function

int main()

{

      //Declare variables in type of "double"

      double ounces, weightMetricTon, no_of_boxes;

      //Declare variable in type of "char"

      char option;

      //Check the condition using "do-while" loop

      do

      {

     /* Prompt statement for read the weight of package in ounces */

     cout << "Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: ";

            //Read the weight in ounces from user

            cin>>ounces;

            //Compute the given weight in metric ton

            weightMetricTon = ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON;

     /* Compute the number of boxes required to produce "1" metric ton */

            no_of_boxes = OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces;

            //Display the weight in metric tons

     cout << "Weight of packets in metric tons: " << weightMetricTon << endl;

            //Display the number of boxes

     cout << "Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: " << no_of_boxes << endl;

            //Prompt statement for asking the user choice

     cout << "Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: ";

            //Read option from user

            cin >> option;

      }

  /* If the user entered option is "y" or "Y", then continue the above process. Otherwise program terminated */

      while (option == 'y' || option == 'Y');

      return 0;

}

Sample Output

Output:

Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces:  4000

Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.113398

Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 8.81848

Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate:  y

Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces:  4820

Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.136645

Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 7.31824

Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate:  n

  • You can find out how many seconds have elapsed since Jan 1, 1970 using the time() function. #include <time.h> now = time(NULL); // now is more than a billion seconds (which data type should you use?) Write a program that estimates how many years, months, weeks, days, and hours have gone by since Jan 1 1970 by calculations with the number of seconds that have passed. The number of months must be less than 12, i.e., take out how many years have gone by first, then how many months are left, then weeks, etc. Assume that all years have 365 days, and all months have 30.42 days. Don’t use a calculator, or any web site that reports the number of seconds in a month, etc. – your C program can calculate anything that you need. Notice that this is an assignment on using arithmetic in C.   Hints. How many seconds are in a minute? hour? A day? A week? A month? A year?
    Write a program that computes the amount of calories burned when you run. Your program should ask for the duration of the run in minutes the speed of the run in mph and your weight in pounds. Compute the amount of calories burned and print it. The calories burned is computed using the expression below: \n", "\n", "$$ calories/minute = (MET*weight*1.6)/200 $$\n", "\n", "MET is a value given below:\n", " - if speed is 5mph or less - MET = 8\n", "- if speed is greater than 5 and less or equal 8 mph - MET = 11.5 \n", "- if speed is greater than 8 and less or equal 10 mph - MET = 14 \n", "- if speed is greater than 10 mph - MET = 20\n", "\n", "Remeber to multiply this result by the time running to show the total amount of calories burned.\n"

    Write a program with total change amount as an integer input, and output the change using the fewest coins, one coin type per line.

The coin types are Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, and Pennies. Use singular and plural coin names as appropriate, like 1 Penny vs. 2 Pennies. Hint: Start from the largest denomination. Divide the change amount by the number of cents in the denomination to get the number of coins used. The remainder of the division is used to find the number of coins used in the next denomination. Ex: value // 100 gives the number of dollars used. The remainder is divided by 25 to find the number of quarters used. Ex: If the input is: 0 (or less than 0), the output is: No change Ex: If the input is: 45 the output is: 1 Quarter 2 Dimes
