Body Mass Index Program Enhancement

In Programming Exercise 6 in Chapter 3 you were asked to design a program that calculates a person’s body mass index (BMI). Recall from that exercise that the BMI is often used to determine whether a person with a sedentary lifestyle is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person's BMI is calculated with the following formula:

BMI = Weight × 703 / Height2

In the formula, weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. Enhance the program so it displays a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight. A sedentary person’s weight is considered to be optimal if his or her BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is considered to be underweight. If the BMI value is greater than 25, the person is considered to be overweight.

Assignment Description This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee! This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game. A Yahtzee score card has two portions: The upper portion has spaces for six scores, obtained by adding up all of the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc. The lower portion has special scores for various combinations: Three of a kind -- at least 3 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Four of a kind -- at least 4 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Small straight -- four consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 2345;the score is 25 points Large straight -- five consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 23456;the score is 30 points Full House -- three of one kind, two of another; the score is 30 points Yahtzee! -- five of a kind; the…

1. [LO 1, LO 2, LO 3 & LO 4, Treasure Hunter Description You are in front of a cave that has treasures. The cave can be represented in a grid which has rows numbered from 1 to , and columns numbered from 1 to . For this problem, define (x,y ) as a tile that is in the the-x row and the y-row. There is a character in each tile, which indicates the type of that tile. Tiles can be floors, walls, or treasures which are represented respectively by the characters '.' (period), '#' (hashmark), and '*' (asterisk). You can go through the floor tiles and treasures, but you can't get past the wall tiles.Initially, you are in a tile (??, Sy). You want to visit all the treasure squares, and retrieve the treasure. When you visit a treasure tile, the treasure is instantly retrieved, and the tile turns into a floor.In a move, if you are on a tile (?,y), then you can move to the right tile above (?-1,y), right (?,y + 1), down (? + 1, ), and left (?, 1) of the current tile. The tile you visit must…
