Given a string, create a new string with all the consecutive duplicates removed. #assign the result string to variable "out_str" def task10(in_str):   # YOUR CODE HERE      return out_str

Each of the following files in the Chapter.04 folder of your downloadable student files has syntax and/or logical errors. In each case, determine the problem, and fix the program. After you correct the errors, save each file using the same filename preceded with Fixed. For example, save DebugFour1.cs as FixedDebugFour1.cs. a. DebugFour1.cs b. DebugFour2.cs c. DebugFour3.cs d. DebugFour4.cs

Each of the following files in the Chapter.01 folder of your downloadable student files has syntax and/or logical errors. In each case, determine the problem and fix the program. After you correct the errors, save each file using the same filename preceded with Fixed. For example, DebugOne1.cs will become FixedDebugOne1 .cs. a. DebugOne1.cs b. DebugOne2.cs c. DebugOne3.cs d. DebugOne4.cs

Create a C# statement that uses each of the following built-in methods you have used in previous chapters, then make an intelligent guess about the return type and parameter list for the method used in each statement you created. a. Console.WriteLine() b. String. Equals() c. String. Compare() d. Convert.Tolnt32 () e. Convert. Tochar() f. Array. Sort()

Pig Latin is a nonsense language. To create a word in pig Latin, you remove the first letter and then add the first letter and ay at the end of the word. For example, dog becomes ogday and cat becomes atcay. Write a program named PigLatin that allows the user to enter a word and displays the pig Latin version.

For each of the following exercises, you may choose to write a console-based or GUI application, or both. Write a program named TestScoreList that accepts eight int values representing student test scores. Display each of the values along with a message that indicates how far it is from the average.

In this exercise, you modify the Grade Calculator application from this chapter’s Apply lesson. Use Windows to make a copy of the Grade Solution folder. Rename the copy Grade Solution-Intermediate. Open the Grade Solution.sln file contained in the Grade Solution-Intermediate folder. Open the CourseGrade.vb file. The DetermineGrade method should accept an integer that represents the total number of points that can be earned in the course. (Currently, the total number of points is 200: 100 points per test.) For an A grade, the student must earn at least 90% of the total points. For a B, C, and D grade, the student must earn at least 80%, 70%, and 60%, respectively. If the student earns less than 60% of the total points, the grade is F. Make the appropriate modifications to the DetermineGrade method and then save the solution. Unlock the controls on the form. Add a label control and a text box to the form. Change the label control’s Text property to “&Maximum points:” (without the quotation marks). Change the text box’s name to txtMax. Lock the controls and then reset the tab order. Open the form’s Code Editor window. The txtMax control should accept only numbers and the Backspace key. Code the appropriate procedure. The grade should be cleared when the user makes a change to the contents of the txtMax control. Code the appropriate procedure. Modify the frmMain_Load procedure so that each list box displays numbers from 0 through 200. Locate the btnDisplay_Click procedure. If the txtMax control does not contain a value, display an appropriate message. The maximum number allowed in the txtMax control should be 400; if the control contains a number that is more than 400, display an appropriate message. The statement that calculates the grade should pass the maximum number of points to the studentGrade object’s DetermineGrade method. Make the necessary modifications to the procedure. Save the solution and then start and test the application.
