Chapter 3, Problem 9PC
Create an application that converts U.S. dollar amounts to pounds, euros, and yen. The following conversion factors are not accurate, but you can use them in your application:
1 dollar = 0.68 pound
1 dollar = 0.83 euro
1 dollar = 108.36 yen
In your code, declare named constants to represent the conversion factors for the different types of currency. For example, you might declare the conversion factor for yen as follows:
Const db1YEN_FACTOR As Double = 108.36
Use the named constants in the mathematical conversion statements. 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 whether the application is calculating properly:

- In Chapter 2, you created a program for Marshalls Murals that prompts a user for the number of interior and exterior murals scheduled to be painted during the next month. The program computes the expected revenue for each type of mural when interior murals cost $500 each and exterior murals cost $750 each. The application should display, by mural type, the number of murals ordered, the cost for each type, and a subtotal. The application also displays the total expected revenue and a statement that indicates whether more interior murals are scheduled than exterior ones. Now create an interactive GUI program named MarshallsRevenueGUI that performs all the same tasks.arrow_forwardCreate a lottery game application named Lottery. Generate three random numbers, each between 1 and 4. Allow the user to guess three numbers. Compare each of the users guesses to the three random numbers, and display a message that includes the users guess, the randomly determined three-digit number, and the amount of money the user has won as follows: Â Make certain that your application accommodates repeating digits. For example, if a user guesses 1, 2, and 3, and the randomly generated digits are 1, 1, and 1, do not give the user credit for three correct guesses-just one.arrow_forwardYou are a manager of a Wally's Training Gym and you encourage your trainers to enroll new members. Input is the trainer's last name and the number of new enrollees, and names of each new member. Output is the number of trainers who have enrolled members in each of three categories: 0-5 new members, 6-10 new members, and 11 to 15 new members, as well as the names of each new enrollee. Write an application that allows the user to enter any number Trainer's names, number of new members, and names of each new member. Output is to display the names of trainers who are in each category, and the new members enrolled. Use good programming techniques and use appropriate variable names, use an array to store the names and number of new enrollees, and use prompts for the input and labels with the display.

Your code will need to account for the following:a. Month: The number of months based on user input in the “Number of Years” fieldb. Opening Amount: The initial investment amount as well as the opening balance eachmonth, which includes interestc. Deposited Amount: The dollar amount the user plans to deposit each month. This valuewill be the same every month for the duration of the investment.d. Total: The sum of the opening and deposited amountse. Interest: Money earned based on the “annual interest” rate input by the user. Theinterest based on an opening amount of $1 and a deposited amount of $50 with aninterest rate of 5% compounded monthly is:(Opening Amount + Deposited Amount) * ((Interest Rate/100)/12)OR(1 + 50) * ((5/100)/12)Note: Dividing by 100 converts the interest rate percentage to a decimal.Note: 12 is the…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_forward

In this version of the game, the application generates the number of stones to begin with, the number of stones the computer takes, and the user goes first. The Nim application code should: prevent the user and the computer from taking an illegal number of stones. For example, neither should be allowed to take three stones when there are only 1 or 2 left. include an is_valid_entry() function to check user input. include a draw_stones() function that generates a random number from 1 to 3 for the number of stones the computer draws. include separate functions to handle the user’s turn and the computer’s turn.
