Explanation of Solution

Given statements:

//Switch to score

switch (score)

{

//Case

case (score > 90):

//Assign the grade

grade = 'A';

//Break the statement

break;

//Case

case (score > 80):

//Assign the grade

grade = 'b';

//Break the statement

break;

//Case

case (score > 70):

//Assign the grade

grade = 'C';

//Break the statement

break;

//Case

case (score > 60):

//Assign the grade

grade = 'D';

//Break the statement

break;

//Default Case

default:

//Assign the grade

grade = 'F';

}

Error in the given statement:

Error #1:

The case statements itself cannot contain an expression. The “case” must be carried out with an integer or a character. The given code cannot be modified as the “switch” statement because it contains expressions. It can only be converted into “if-else-if” statement that is given below...

Area Calculator:  Prompt the user to enter two choices 1 or 2. If user enters 1 then ask him for length of side of square and if user enters 2 then prompt for length and breadth of rectangle. In both case the output should be the area of square (case 1) or rectangle (case2). In C++
Lab: switch Note: switch syntax is only applied for service selection.            You can use if – else syntax for other comparison.   Using switch syntax to write a program that calculates and prints the bill for a cellular telephone company. The company offers two types of service: regular and premium.  Its rates vary, depending on the type of service.  The rates are computed as follows:   Regular service:    $10.00 plus first 50 minutes are free. Charges for over 50 minutes are $0.20 per minutes.   Premium service:    $25 plus For calls made from 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m., the first 75 minutes are free; charges for more than 75 minutes are $0.10 per minute. For, calls made from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., the first 100 minutes are free; charges for more than 100 minutes are $0.05 per minute.   Your program should prompt the user to enter an account number, a service code (type char), and the number of minutes the service was used. A service code for r or R means regular service; a service…
Question: Party budget planning - complex Prompt the user to enter their current budget and the number of people who need to share a meal. You are ordering food from a restaurant that has two menu items: Tacos $4 Empanadas $3 Calculate and print out all the options of meals where the budget is used entirely(where possible) and each person has an equal number of items to eat. They may eat different things, but everyone gets the same number of food items, e.g. 2 tacos or 1 empanada and 1 taco or 2 empanadas. Hints: Here are some things that might help you in your solution. If total items purchased does not equally divide by the number of diners, then abandon that combination. It may help to calculate the max number of empanadas that the budget can buy and also the max number of tacos that the budget could buy. These can be thought of as upper bounds in your loops. In your solution, keep track of items per person Also, keep track of total number of viable solutions, as that might…
