Airline companies apply baggage restrictions for their passengers. An
airline company has decided to apply a 10kg limitation for
passengers' hand luggage and 20kg for their normal baggage. When
passengers arrive, they enter their hand and normal luggage weight
from the keyboard. If passengers exceed their normal baggage
allowance of 10 dollars per gram, they pay 12 dollars per kg.
Accordingly, write the program that calculates the baggage price of
the airline they will go to according to the baggage values entered by
the arriving passenger and keeps this from closing the program for
each passenger. Note: If hand and normal baggage allowances are
stretched below the maximum value, the payment amount will be
considered not negative. An example printout is given on the right.

The Café Noir Coffee Shop wants some market research on its customers. When a customer places an order, a clerk asks for the customer’s zip code and age. The clerk enters that data as well as the number of items the customer orders. The program operates continuously until the clerk enters a 0 for zip code at the end of the day. When the clerk enters an invalid zip code (more than 5 digits) or an invalid age (defined as less than 10 or more than 110), the program reprompts the clerk continuously. When the clerk enters fewer than 1 or more than 12 items, the program reprompts the clerk two more times. If the clerk enters a high value on the third attempt, the program accepts the high value, but if the clerk enters a negative value onthe third attempt, an error message is displayed and the order is not counted. At the end of the program, display a count of the number of items ordered by customers from the same zip code as the coffee shop (54984), and a count from other zip codes. Also…
Problem:
A small company needs an interactive program to compute an employee’s paycheck. The payroll clerk will initially input the data, and given the input data, an employee's wage for the week should be displayed on the screen for the payroll check.
The data for the employee includes the employee's hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked that week. Wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked (up to 40 hours). If the employee worked more than 40 hours, wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times 40 hours plus 1½ times the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked above 40.
Instructions:
Match the action at the left-side with the correct step number at the right-side (the attached picture). Note that it may be possible to group more than one related actions in the same logical step / process without altering the essence of the algorithm.
In the program flow, input and checking of hourly pay rate should come before that of the number…

- A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours and an additional $1 per hour for each hour or part thereof over four hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write a program that will calculate and print the parking charges for each of three customers who parked their cars in this garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. Your program should print the results in a neat tabular format, and should calculate and print the total of yesterday's receipts. The program should use the function calculate Charges to determine the charge for each customer.arrow_forwardGiven the sample code above in generating a random number. Create a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows. 1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don't display the computer's choice yet.) 2. The user enters his or her choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors" at the keyboard. (You can use a menu if you prefer.) 13. The computer's choice is displayed. 4. A winner is selected according to the following rules: a. If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.) b. If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissor wins. (Scissors cuts paper.) c. If one player chooses paper and the other player…arrow_forwardWrite a program that calculates how much a person earns in a month if the salary is one penny the first day, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day, and so on with the daily pay doubling each day the employee works. The program should ask the user for the number of days the employee worked during the month, validate that it is between 1 and 31, and then display a table showing how much the salary was for each day worked, as well as the total pay earned for the month. The output should be displayed in dollars with two decimal points, not in pennies.arrow_forward
- Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of health on weight. It can be calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing by the square of your height in meters. Write a program which prompts the user to enter the weight in kgs (integer value) and height in feet and inches (both integers) and then calculates the BMI of the person. Your program first need to convert inches to meters (i.e. inches * 0.0254) and then use the following formula to calculate BMI: weight kilogram / (height_meter)^2 Your program displays the BMI value in two decimal places and the corresponding status as shown in the examples below. Note that one inch is 0.0254 meters and 1 foot is 12 inches. For example: Input Result 62 5 10 89 6 0 45 BMI BMI < 18.5 18.5 s BMI < 25.0 25.0 ≤ BMI < 30.0 30.0 ≤ BMI 7 82 5 Interpretation Underweight Normal Overweight Obese 2 Enter weight (kg): Enter height (feet): Enter height (inches): BMI is 19.61, Normal Enter weight (kg): Enter height (feet): Enter height (inches): BMI is…arrow_forwardWrite a program that computes the molecular weight of a carbohydrate (ingrams per mole) based on the number of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygenatoms in the molecule. The program should prompt the user to enter thenumber of hydrogen atoms, the number of carbon atoms, and the numberof oxygen atoms. The program then prints the total combined molecularweight of all the atoms based on these individual atom weights:Atom Weight(grams I mole)H 1.00794c 12.01070 15.9994For example, the molecular weight of water (H20) is: 2(1.00794) +15.9994 = 18.01528.arrow_forwardWrite a program that prompts the user to enterthe month and year and displays the number of days in the month.

- A county collects property taxes on the assessment value of property, which is 60 percent of the property’s actual value. If an acre of land is valued at $10,000, its assessment value is $6,000. The property tax is then 75¢ for each $100 of the assessment value. The tax for the acre assessed at $6,000 will be $45. Write a program that asks for the actual value of a piece of property and displays the assessment value and property tax.arrow_forwardWrite a program that asks for the number of calories and fat grams in a food. The program should display the percentage of calories that come from fat. If the calories from fat are less than 30% of the total calories of the food, it should also display a message indicating that the food is low in fat. One gram of fat has 9 calories, so Calories from fat = fat grams * 9. The percentage of calories from fat can be calculated as Calories from fat ÷ total calories . Input Validation: Make sure the number of calories and fat grams are not less than 0. Also, the number of calories from fat cannot be greater than the total number of calories. If that happens, display an error message indicating that either the calories or fat grams were incorrectly entered.arrow_forwardMeadowdale Dairy Farm sells organic brown eggs to local customers. It charges $3.25 for a dozen eggs, or 45 cents for individual eggs that are not part of a dozen. Write a program that prompts a user for the number of eggs in the order and then display the amount owed with a full explanation using the following wording: You ordered 27 eggs. That’s 2 dozen at $3.25 per dozen and 3 loose eggs at 45 cents each for a total of $7.85. So far everything is right but something in my equations is causing my ouput to show up as 45.0arrow_forward
