- The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate the importance of testing an application thoroughly. Open the FixIt Solution.sln file contained in the VB2017\Chap04\FixIt Solution folder. The application displays a shipping charge that is based on the total price entered by the user, as shown in Figure 4-64. Start the application and then test it by clicking the Display shipping button. Notice that the Shipping charge box contains $13, which is not correct. Now, test the application using the following total prices: 100, 501, 1500, 500.75, 30, 1000.33, and 2000. Here too, notice that the application does not always display the correct shipping charge. (More specifically, the shipping charge for two of the seven total prices is incorrect.) Open the Code Editor window and correct the errors in the code. Save the solution and then start and test the application.arrow_forwardFor each of the following exercises, you may choose to write a console-based or GUI application, or both. Write a program for The Carefree Resort named ResortPrices that prompts the user to enter the number of days for a resort stay. Then display the price per night and the total price. Nightly rates are $200 for one or two nights; $180 for three or four nights; $160 for five, six, or seven nights; and $145 for eight nights or more.arrow_forwardAccount numbers sometimes contain a check digit that is the result of a mathematical calculation. The inclusion of the digit in an account number helps ascertain whether the number is a valid one. Write an application named CheckDigit that asks a user to enter a four-digit account number and determines whether it is a valid number. The number is valid if the fourth digit is the remainder when the number represented by the first three digits of the four-digit number is divided by 7. For example, 7770 is valid, because 0 is the remainder when 777 is divided by 7. The next problems rely on the generation of a random number. You can create a random number that is at least mi n but less than max using the following statements: Random ranNumberCenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber; randomNumber = ranNumberGenerator .Next(min, max);arrow_forward
- The Donut Shoppe sells four varieties of doughnuts: Glazed (1.05), Sugar (1.05), Chocolate (1.25), and Filled (1.50). It also sells regular coffee (1.50) and cappuccino (2.75). The store manager wants you to create an application that displays a customers subtotal, 6% sales tax, and total due. Create a Windows Forms application. Use the following names for the project and solution, respectively: Donut Project and Donut Solution. Save the application in the VB2017\Chap06 folder. Create the interface shown in Figure 6-57. When coding the application, use one independent Sub procedure to determine the subtotal, which is the total cost without the sales tax. Use a function to determine the sales tax. Use an event-handling Sub procedure to clear the output. Save the solution and then start and test the application.arrow_forwardWhen an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period:d =1/2 gt2The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time in seconds that the object has been falling. Create an application that allows the user to enter the amount of time that an object has fallen and then displays the distance that the object fell. The application should have a method named FallingDistance. The FallingDistance method should accept an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The method should return the distance in meters that the object has fallen during that time interval.arrow_forwardProfessor Zak allows students to drop the four lowest scores on the ten 100-point quizzes she gives during the semester.

You are writing an app for Best For You Organics Company. The app needs to allow the user to convert a recipe from cups to liters. The app will use the conversion ratio of 1 cup is equal to 0.2366 liters. You define the pseudocode as follows: INPUT cups liters = cups * 0.2366 OUTPUT liters Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select “No change is needed.” If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct. Group of answer choices Cups / .02366 * 10 Cups / 0.2366 Cups * 2.366 No change is needed.arrow_forwardThere are three seating categories at a high school athletic stadium. For a baseball game, Class A seats cost $15 each, Class B seats cost $12 each, and Class C seats cost $9 each. Create an application that allows the user to enter the number of tickets sold for each class. The application should be able to display the amount of income generated from each class of ticket sales and the total revenue generated. If the user fails to enter numeric values, display an appropriate error message and do not attempt to perform calculations Use the following test data to determine if the application is calculating properly:Ticket Sales RevenueClass A: 320 Class A: $4800.00Class B: 570 Class B: $6840.00Class C: 890 Class C: $8010.00Total Revenue: $19650.00Class A: 500 Class A: $7500.00Class B: 750 Class B: $9000.00Class C: 1200 Class C: $10800.00Total Revenue: $27300.00Class A: 100 Class A: $1500.00Class B: 300 Class B: $3600.00Class C: 500 Class C: $4500.00Total Revenue: $9600.00arrow_forward
