Chapter 2.16, Problem 2.25CP
Program Plan Intro
Named constant:
Named constant is similar to a variable which contents cannot be changed during the execution of a program; the contents of the named constants are in read-only format.
The “const” keyword is used before the data type in variable declaration and the variable name is written in the uppercase letter.
Example:
The following statement is used to assign the value “2500” into the named constant variable “AMOUNT”:
//initializing a named constant
const int AMOUNT = 2500;

Write the complete statement needed to declare and initialize a new constant to represent the number of weeks in a year, which is 52. Name it "weeks in year" using correct style for a constant. Note: The Java style guide states that one space is used on either side of binary operators. b. Write a simple expression using a relational operator that returns true if the integer variable count is at least 12. Do not use any parentheses or place it in a complete statement.arrow_forwardCreate the following, in Python: You have a business that cleans floors in commercial space and offices. You charge customers $0.45 per square yard, and some customers require multiple cleanings every month. You need two custom functions for your business. The first function takes a floor's length and width in feet and returns the area in square yards. The second void function takes the area, charge per square yard, and number of monthly cleanings as arguments and prints the cleaning cost. This latter function uses selection (if...else) logic to print different output for single and multiple monthly cleanings (see Sample Outputs). Use a properly named constant for the charge per square yard, too.arrow_forward

- In python. Write a program that calculates the BMI (Body Mass Index) of a person, which is used to determine if the ratio of weight and height is appropriate. BMI can be calculated using the following formula: index = weight / height ^ 2 Where the weight must be given in kilograms and the height in meters. The following table shows how the different index ranges are classified: index range Description index <20 LOW WEIGHT 20 <= index <25 NORMAL 25 <= index <30 OVERWEIGHT 30 <= index <40 OBESITY index >= 40 MORBID OBESITYarrow_forwardAssuming the following code: int x = myfunction1(); /* arbitrary value */ int y = myfunction2(); /* arbitrary value */ int z = myfunction3(); /* arbitrary value */ //convert to double double dx = (double) x; double dy = (double) y; double dz = (double) z; unsigned ux = x; unsigned uy = y; The following statement always evaluates to 1 (True or False): (dx + dy) + dz == dx + (dy + dz) True Falsearrow_forwardWhen an argument is __________, only a copy of the argument’s value is passed into the parameter variable.a. a named constantb. passed by associationc. passed by referenced. passed by valuearrow_forward
