(Apartment problem) A real estate office handles , say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, $600 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say $40 increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an average of $27 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to maximize the profit?
Write a program that prompts the user to enter:
The total number of units.
The rent to occupy all the units.
The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit.
Amount to maintain rented unit.
The program then outputs the number of units to be rented to maximize the profit.

Problem: Feed Nibble Monster Till Full
Write a program that generates a number in [0, 500] at the beginning -- this corresponds to how hungry the monster is -- and keeps asking the user to feed the monster until that number falls to zero.
Each time the user feeds the monster a nibble, hunger decreases by the decimal value of the character (i.e. if the user feeds 'A' hunger decreases by 65). But when the user feeds the monster some character that isn't a nibble, the hunger increases by the decimal value of the character (since puking depletes energy).
Use while loop.
Sample runs:
Notice the loop exits after one iteration, because hunger was very low and one nibble made the monster full:
Notice hunger increasing after non-nibble (pink highlight):
Notice that the program just keeps going when the user feeds the monster only non-nibbles. Do you think the program will keep running forever if the user never gives the monster nibbles?

- Guess The Number Game: write a program that will ask the user to guess a secret numberrandomly generated by your program between 1-10. Player have 3 trials to guess the number.After each trial, you have to inform the user, either he/she has guessed it correctly or not, andthe remaining trials to guess the number. In each trial your program should generate a newrandom number. If user guess at least twice correctly, then shows the message, “you won by 2-1” and vice versa for losing.When game is over, ask the user to play again: If the user types "yes", the game start again.else stop the game.arrow_forwardQuestioin: Hidden Secret Problem! In this problem, you are given two names, you have to find whether one name is hidden into another. The restrictions are: You can change some uppercase letters to lower case and vice versa. You can add/remove spaces freely. You can permute the letters. And if both the names match exactly, then you can say that one name is hidden into another. Input Input starts with an integer T (≤ 100), denoting the number of test cases. Each case starts with two lines. Each line contains a name consists of upper/lower case English letters and spaces. You can assume that the length of any name is between 1 and 100(inclusive). Output For each case, print the case number and Yes if one name is hidden into another. Otherwise print No. Sample Input Output 3 Tom Marvolo Riddle I am Lord Voldemort I am not Harry Potter Hi Pretty Roar to man Harry and Voldemort Tom and Jerry and Harry Case 1: Yes Case 2: Yes Case 3: No And I want…arrow_forwardstoppingDistance = speed * (2.25 + speed / 21)Write a program which determines whether a vehicle’s tailgating distance is safe.The program should read in the speed of the vehicle and the vehicle’s tailgatingdistance.

- The cost of renting a room at a hotel is, say $100.00 per night. For special occasions, such as a wedding or conference, the hotel offers a special discount as follows: If the number of rooms booked at least 10, the discount is 10%; at least 20, the discount is 20%; and at least 30, the discount is 30%. Also if rooms are booked for at least three days, then there is an additional 5% discount. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the cost of renting one room, the number of rooms booked, the number of days the rooms are booked, and the sales tax (as a percent). The program outputs the cost of renting one room, the discount on each room as a percent, the number of rooms booked, the number of days the rooms are booked, the total cost of the rooms, the sales tax, and the total billing amount. Your program must use appropriate named constants to store special values such as various discounts.arrow_forward(Physics) Write an assignment statement to calculate the elapsed time, in minutes, it takes to make a trip.
