Chapter 2, Problem 14PC
Male and Female Percentages
Write a program that asks the user for the number of males and the number of females registered in a class. The program should display the percentage of males and females in the class. Hint: Suppose there are 8 males and 12 females in a class. There are 20 students in the class. The percentage of males can be calculated as 8 ÷ 20 = 0.4, or 40%. The percentage of females can be calculated as 12 ÷ 20 = 0.6, or 60%.

radiation it is. Write a program that asks for the wavelength in meters of an electromagnetic
wave and then displays what that wave is according to the following chart. (For example, a
wave with a wavelength of 1E-10 meters would be an X-ray.)

Retail price calculator
Write a program that asks the user to enter an item’s wholesale cost and its markup percentage. It should then display the item’s retail price. For example:
• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 100 percent, then the item’s retail price is 10.00.• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 50 percent, then the item’s retail price is 7.50.
The program should have a method named calculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and the markup percentage as arguments and returns the retail price of the item.

- (Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like, with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth.

The theater has two rows of five seats each. Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved. Please enter a row: 1 Available seats: A B C D E Which seat, enter Q for none?: B You have booked seat: 1B…arrow_forward
- XYZ Company, LLC uses a program to manage the information of their employees. The program gets the name of the employee, number of hours worked and rate per hour. It computes the salary by multiplying the number of hours worked with rate per hour. If the salary is more than 1000, tax is computed as 5% of the salary, otherwise, tax is computed as 2% of the salary. The program will display the name of the employee, salary and tax.arrow_forwardTheater Ticket System: A small ten-seat theater has contracted you to build software which will reserve tickets.

The program will keep reading double values, each representing steps walked during an individual activity within a day (stepsWalked) until either the user enters a negative value or the daily target of 5000 steps is met. If the user enters a negative number, the program should print total steps walked as a double. Otherwise, if the target is exactly reached, the program should simply print "Target is reached", finally if the target is surpassed the program should print the text "Target is surpassed by", followed by the excess amount above the target as a double, and finally printing the text "steps". NOTE: You MUST use a repetitive statement in this question. NOTE: Each stepsWalked value will be given as a non-negative value. You do NOT need to check this.

For this company, an employee earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $30 an hour, for each hour they work above 40 hours. Example: If an employee works 60 hours in a week, they would earn $20/hr for the first 40 hours. Then they would earn $30/hr for the 20 hours they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: ($20/hr 40hrs)+($30/hr 20 hrs) $800+ $600 = $1400 total. For this assignment, you must create pseudocode and a flowchart to design a program that will calculate an employee's weekly paycheck. - Write pseudocode to design a programming solution by outlining a series of steps and using appropriate indentation and keywords.

- Number Guessing Game. The program will generate a random number from 1 to 1000. The player will be given several chances to guess the number. The program gives a hint that the given number is lower or higher. If the player's guess is correct, give the player a single point. Tally the number of correct and wrong guesses that the player has made. After every round, display the tally (correct, wrong, and score) After a cycle the program will ask the user if he wants to continue playing. This is a console project.

If the user guesses the number, the application should congratulate the user and generate a new random number so the game can start over. Keep track of the number of guesses a user makes before guessing the correct one and display it with the congratulatory message when the user guesses the number correctly. For this assignment, create functions that: generate and return a random number between 1 and 100. format and return the failure and congratulatory messages.
