Program Plan Intro

Fuel efficiency of a multi-leg journey

Program Plan:

  • Declare the “MPG” function.
    • Assign the values to the variables.
    • Check “leg” is not equal to newline.
      • Get the current odometer and amount of gas from the user.
      • In “try” block,
        • Split the odometer reading and amount of gas from the user input and assign it into the separate variables.
        • Increment the “count” value.
        • Calculate the distance traveled.
        • Calculate the MPG for leg.
        • Set the new odometer reading.
        • Display the leg.
        • Add values to trip total.
      • In exception block, break the function.
      • Return the values to the main function.
  • Declare a main function. Inside the main function,
    • Get the starting odometer reading from the user.
    • Call the function “MPG”.
    • Calculate the total MPG.
    • Display the result.
  • Call the main function.

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. Geri bildirim gönder
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…
