Write a
▪ calc_average. This function should accept five test scores as arguments and return the average of the scores.
▪ determine_grade. This function should accept a test score as an argument and return a letter grade for the score based on the following grading scale:
Score | Letter Grade |
90-100 | A |
80-89 | B |

- Lowest Score Drop Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions: void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered. void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100.arrow_forwardCoin Toss Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads". If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails". Demonstrate the function in a program that sks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and the coin then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.arrow_forwardC++ Functions provide a means to modularize applications Write a function called "Calculate" takes two double arguments returns a double result For example, the following is a function that takes a single "double" argument and returns a "double" result double squareArea(double side){ double lArea; lArea = side * side; return lArea;}arrow_forward
- (Rounding Numbers) Function floor may be used to round a number to a specific decimal place. The statement y = floor(x * 10 + .5) / 10; rounds x to the tenths position (the first position to the right of the decimal point). The statement y = floor(x * 100 + .5) / 100; rounds x to the hundredths position (the second position to the right of the decimal point). Write a program that defines four functions to round a number x in various ways a) roundToInteger(number) b) roundToTenths(number) c) roundToHundreths(number) d) roundToThousandths(number) For each value read, your program should print the original value, the number rounded to the nearest integer, the number rounded to the nearest tenth, the number rounded to the nearest hun- dredth, and the number rounded to the nearest thousandth. IN C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE PLEASEarrow_forwardFuture Investment Value = investment amount * (1 + monthly interest)^(number of years * 12) Using this formula, write a function in Python called futureValue that prompts the user to enter an investment amount, an annual percentage interest rate, and the amount of years. The function should accept the input as arguments. The interest rate should have a default value of 7%. You can add default values of your choice for the amount of years. This function should print out a table that displays the future values. Demonstrate this function in another function called main. Format your output by two decimal places. Output Example: Enter the amount you want to invest: 1000 [Enter] Enter the interest rate for your investment: [Enter] Enter the number of years you want to invest this money: 30 [Enter] Years Future Value 1 1093.81 2 1196.41 ........ 30 14730.58arrow_forwardThree cars drive a 500-mile route. Write a program that inputs the car's make and the number of gallons of fuel used by each car. After calling a "calcMPG()" function once for each car, have main determine and display which car was the most fuel-efficient and how many miles per gallon it got. The "calcMPG()" function should be passed the distance driven and the gallons of gas used as arguments, and should return the miles per gallon obtained.arrow_forward
- When a function requests several arguments, how important is it what order they come in?arrow_forward5.8 LAB: User-Defined Functions: Max magnitude CORAL LANGUAGE ONLY PLEASE Define a function named MaxMagnitude with two integer parameters that returns the largest magnitude value. Write a program that reads two integers from a user, calls function MaxMagnitude() with the inputs as arguments, and outputs the largest magnitude value. Ex: If the inputs are: 5 7 the function returns and the program output is: 7 Ex: If the inputs are: -8 -2 the function returns and the program output is: -8 Note: The function does not just return the largest value, which for -8 -2 would be -2. Though not necessary, you may use the absolute value built-in math function: AbsoluteValuearrow_forward(Rounding Numbers) Function floor may be used to round a number to a specific decimalplace. The statementy = floor(x * 10 + .5) / 10;rounds x to the tenths position (the first position to the right of the decimal point).

- 3. [fight_song.py] Write a program that outputs the following fight song. Your program is required to have a function named `sing_fight_song`. When the `sing_fight_song` function is called it should "sing" the song below by printing it out. You should create other functions to show structure and to eliminate redundancy in your program. More precisely, your `sing_fight_song` function should not consist solely of print statements printing each line of the song. That would be highly redundant. It should call other functions that print reusable parts of the song. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe. Simply the best, Better than the rest. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe. Simply the best, Better than the rest. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe. Go, team, go! Defeat your foe.arrow_forwardCalculate Degree Write a program in which you define the function called calculate_degree. This function must receive a float number between 0 and 1, and must return an alphabetical note according to the following table. score Note > 0.9 TO > 0.8 B. >0.7 C > 0.6 D <= 0.6 F Entry A float number between 0 and 1. Exit The letter corresponding to the score assigned according to the table above. If the input is not within the range of 0 to 1 (inclusive), the function should return the legend "bad score" (without the quotes). Program execution examples >>> 0.95 TO >>> 10.0 wrong score >>> 0.5 Farrow_forwardCreate a function called volume The function will calculate the volume of a cube. It will receive 3 integers, length, width and height. It will return the volume as an integer.arrow_forward
