Coin 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.
Speed Detector (Toy Problem)
Write a program that takes as input the speed of a car e.g 80. If the speed is less than 70, it should print “Ok”. Otherwise, for every 5 km/s above the speed limit (70), it should give the driver one demerit point and print the total number of demerit points.
For example, if the speed is 80, it should print: “Points: 2”. If the driver gets more than 12 points, the function should print: “License suspended”.
Calculate 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).

- (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_forward1. A prime number is a number that is only evenly divisible by itself and 1. For example, the number 5 is prime because it can only be evenly divided by 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3, and 6.Write a Boolean function named is_prime which takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number, or false otherwise. Use the function in a program that prompts the user to enter a number then displays a message indicating whether the number is prime.Tip:Recall that the % operator divides one number by another and returns the remainder of the division. In an expression such as num1 % num2, the % operator will return 0 if num1 is evenly divisible by num2.arrow_forwardLowest 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_forward
- Test 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_forward(Square of Asterisks) Write a function that displays a solid square of asterisks whose side isspecified in integer parameter side. For example, if side is 4, the function displays: **** **** **** ****arrow_forwardC++ code 1 year = 15 months 1 month = 30 days write a function that takes an int parameter that represents the number of days, and converts the number of days to years, months, and days and returns this information in a struct So for example, it will convert 800 days into a struct that represents one year, 11 months, and 20 daysarrow_forward
- // HouseSign.cpp - This program calculates prices for custom made signs. #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { // This is the work done in the housekeeping() function // Declare and initialize variables here // Charge for this sign // Color of characters in sign // Number of characters in sign // Type of wood // This is the work done in the detailLoop() function // Write assignment and if statements here // This is the work done in the endOfJob() function // Output charge for this sign cout << "The charge for this sign is $" << charge << endl; return(0); }arrow_forward(Even or Odd) Write a program that inputs a series of integers and passes them one at a timeto function isEven, which uses the remainder operator to determine whether an integer is even. Thefunction should take an integer argument and return 1 if the integer is even and 0 otherwise.arrow_forwardc++ Write a function that will generate a random number between 1 and 100. Then it ask the user to guess a number between 1 and 100. If the user’s entry is equal to the random number, it will display “You are a winner”; otherwise, it will display: “You did not win”arrow_forward
- H1. A value returning function executes its statements and then returns a value. true or false Explain with details also explain wrong optionarrow_forwardNumber guessing Game Write a C program that implements the “guess my number” game. The computer chooses a random number using the following random generator function srand(time(NULL)); int r = rand() % 100 + 1; that creates a random number between 1 and 100 and puts it in the variable r. (Note that you have to include <time.h>) Then it asks the user to make a guess. Each time the user makes a guess, the program tells the user if the entered number is larger or smaller than its number. The user then keeps guessing till he/she finds the number. If the user doesn’t find the number after 10 guesses, a proper game over message will be shown and the actual guess is revealed. If the user makes a correct guess in its allowed 10 guesses, then a proper message will be shown and the number of guesses the user made to get the correct answer is also printed. After each correct guess or game over, the user decides to play again or quit and based on the user choice, the computer will make…arrow_forwardPasswords, again Learning objectives In this lab, you will practice: writing a function to match the specifications using string concatenation to generate a new return value writing your code a module Instructions Write a function create_password(pet_name, fav_number) that will return a password with the following pattern: : fav_number followed by the pet_name followed by the underscore and fav_number (see example below). Create a program that reads pet name and favorite number from the user, uses the function above, and uses the return value to output: Your new password is "3Angel_3". Example Input: Angel 3 Output: Your new password is "3Angel_3". Note: Your program must define and call the following function: def create_password(pet_name, fav_number) # Define your function here. if __name__ == '__main__': # Type your code here.arrow_forward
