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.

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.

A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards as 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 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 use for a judge's score, store in a parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main program once for each of the 5 judges.
-calcScore(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5) should calculate and return the average of the 3 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 5 scores. Two additional functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to…

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.

Use this function in a program that determines and prints all the perfect numbers between 1and 1000.

"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.

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.
