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…
9. Trivia Game
In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players. The program will work like this:
Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. (There should be a total of 10 questions.) When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, he or she earns a point.
After answers have been selected for all the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declares the player with the highest number of points the winner.
To create this program, write a Question class to hold the data for a trivia question. The Question class should have attributes for the following data:
A trivia question
Possible answer 1
Possible answer 2
Possible answer 3
Possible answer 4
The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4)
The Question class also should have an appropriate _…

- C++ Visual 2019 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 program that uses this method to calculate a contestant's score. It should include the following functions: 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…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".

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_forwardModule/Week 6 Assignment (User-defined: Simple Data Types, String Types) You are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculates the cost of lumber for an order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber. Lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. The price per board foot is given in the following table: The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet of length) that need to be converted to board feet. For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which when divided by 12 = 5.333 board feet). An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and four integer numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length. The letter will be one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When the…arrow_forward

The factorial of a number n can be solved using the following formula: 〖n!=e〗^(-n) n^n√2πn. If there are 18 people in your class and you want to divide the class into programming teams of 3 members, you can compute the number of different teams that can be arranged using this formula (n !⁄r !(n-r)!). Write a C++ program that determines the number of potential team arrangements. You will need to use the double type for this computation. Use the Lab Template you set-up last week, proper formatting, and appropriate comments in your code. The output must be labeled clearly and formatted neatly.

Write a program for a two-player version of the game Nim: a human player will play against the computer. The game is simple: players take turns removing from 1 to 4 sticks from a pile of 13 sticks; the player who picks up the last stick wins the game. Here’s some pseudocode for the Nim game. Start by initializing some variables that will allow you to keep track of the state of the game: One variable should record how many sticks there are left in the pile; initially, this variable must be initialized to 13. There are two players in the game, who take turns. To remember who’s turn is next, use a variable with two states (= values). Say the variable is 1 if the human player is next, and it is 2, if the computer’s turn is next. Pick randomly the player who should start the game. Then, start the main loop of the game: the game should continue for as long as there still are sticks (at least one) to pick. In each repetition of the game loop, one player will play their turn:…arrow_forward
- Customized step counter Learning Objectives In this lab, you will Create a function to match the specifications Use floating-point value division Instructions A pedometer treats walking 2,000 steps as walking 1 mile. It assumes that one step is a bit over 18 inches (1 mile = 36630 inches, so the pedometers assume that one step should be 18.315 inches). Let's customize this calculation to account for the size of our stride. Write a program whose input is the number of steps and the length of the step in inches, and whose output is the miles walked. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows: print(f'{your_value:.2f}') Ex: If the input is: 5345 18.315 the output is: You walked 5345 steps which are about 2.67 miles.
