Star Search
A particular talent competition has five judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer’s final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the three remaining scores. Write a
- void getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge’s score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges.
- void calcScore() should calculate and display the average of the three scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.
The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the scores to drop.
- int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it.
- int findHighest() should find and return the highest of the five scores passed to it.
Input Validation: Do not accept judge scores lower than 0 or higher than 10.

- (Numerical) Write and test a function that returns the position of the largest and smallest values in an array of double-precision numbers.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_forwardStar Search In Python create a program base on the following; A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer’s final scoreis determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 3 remaining scores. Write a program that uses these rules to calculate and display a contestant’s score. It should include the following functions: • getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge’s score, store it in a parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main program once for eachof the 5 judges.• calcScore(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5) should calculate and return the average of the 3 scores thatremain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the 5 scores.Two additional functions, described below, should be called by…arrow_forward
- (Rounding Numbers) An application of function floor is rounding a value to the nearestinteger. The statementy = floor(x + .5);will round the number x to the nearest integer and assign the result to y. Write a program that readsseveral numbers and uses the preceding statement to round each of these numbers to the nearestinteger. For each number processed, print both the original number and the rounded number.arrow_forwardPython (this is not graded this is practice work that is not graded) write and test a function which takes two dates (month, day) list arguments.When the function is called with the two arguments, it returns the number of days betweenthose two dates. Print the returned value. It is assumed that the first date occurs first. Forinstance, if the users calls the function with FUNCTION([12, 10], [12, 20]) as arguments, thereturned value is 10 days. However, if FUNCTION([12, 20], [12, 10]) is called, the returnedvalue is -10 days.Assume February has 28 days.Test data: [10, 30], [5, 20] [1, 30], [5, 25] [5, 25], [1, 30] [1, 1], [12, 31]arrow_forward(Perfect Numbers) An integer number is said to be a perfect number if its factors, including1 (but not the number itself), sum to the number. For example, 6 is a perfect number because 6 =1 + 2 + 3. Write a function isPerfect that determines whether parameter number is a perfect number. Use this function in a program that determines and prints all the perfect numbers between 1and 1000. Print the factors of each perfect number to confirm that the number is indeed perfect.Challenge the power of your computer by testing numbers much larger than 1000.arrow_forward

"In swimming, a lap is the same as a length. By definition, a lap means a complete trip around a race track, in swimming, the pool is the race track. Therefore if you swim from one end to the other, you’ve completed the track and thus you’ve completed one lap or one length." (Source: What Is A Lap In Swimming? Lap Vs Length) Write the function meters_to_laps() that takes a number of meters as an argument and returns the real number of laps. Complete the program to output the number of laps with two digits after the period. Examples Input: 150 Output : 3.00 Input: 80 Output: 1.60 Your program must define and call the following…arrow_forward(Square of Asterisks) Write a function that displays a solid square of asterisks whose side isspecified in integer parameter side.

- LAB: User-Defined Functions: Miles to track laps One lap around a standard high-school running track is exactly 0.25 miles. Define a function named MilesToLaps that takes a float as a parameter, representing the number of miles, and returns a float that represents the number of laps.Then, write a main program that takes a number of miles as an input, calls function MilesToLaps() to calculate the number of laps, and outputs the number of laps. Ex: If the input is: 1.5 the output is: 6.0 Ex: If the input is: 2.2 the output is: 8.8 Your program should define and call a function: Function MilesToLaps(float userMiles) returns float userLaps Note: Remove all comments outside any functions before running the program.arrow_forwardTest Average and Grade Write a program that asks the user to enter five test scores. The program should display a letter grade for each score and the average test score. Write the following functions in the program: 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 70–79 C 60–69 D Below 60 F Write the following functions: getTestScore(): This function prompts user for five test scores and returns test score to the caller. calcAverage(): This function accepts five test scores as arguments and returns the average of the five test scores. determineGrade(): This function accepts an average as an argument and returns a letter grade for the score based on the grading scale. displayData(): This method displays all five…arrow_forwardpython3 program In mathematics, a harshad number is an integer that is evenly divisible by the sum of its digits. For example, 18 is a harshad number because 1 + 8 = 9 and 18 is divisible by 9. Write a function that returns the number of harshad numbers between 1 and 1000000.arrow_forward
