Write an algorithm to solve the following price-averaging program that asks the user how many products they have purchased on a recent shopping trip. You can assume they will enter a positive integer value. Next, prompt the user for the amount they paid for each product and calculate their average cost per product, formatted to two decimal points. You can assume the user will enter floating-point numbers, but you should constrain users to positive values only. You do not need to prompt the user at the end of the program to see if they wish to continue. Here is a sample running of this program: How many products did you purchase? 3 1 How much did this product cost? 54.00 2 How much did this product cost? -100 Sorry, only positive values allowed. Please try again. 2 How much did this product cost? 98.00 3 How much did this product cost? 87.00 Average Cost: 79.67

Given 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…
Problem 7: Guess the price of the car!? You will implement a variant of the number guessing game we played in lecture. In this variant, you will ask the user to guess the price of a $42,500 car. Let's assume that the player knows the price of the car is rounded to the nearest $500. If a player's guess is not exactly correct, your program will tell them they are either too high or too low. The player will get as many guesses as they need to guess the price of the $42,500 car. However they will only win the game if they used 5 or fewer guesses. Here are two examples of how the program should work for both cases: Guess the price and win the prize! Enter your guess:50000 Too high! Enter your guess:40000 Too low! Enter your guess:45000 Too high! Enter your guess:42500 You won the car! Guess the price and win the prize! Enter your guess:46000 Too high! Enter your guess:45000 Too high! Enter your guess:44000 Too high! Enter your guess:43000 Too high! Enter your guess:42000 Too low! Enter your…
3. The bin packing problem is to pack the objects of various weights into containers. Assume that each container can hold a maximum of 10 pounds. The program uses an algorithm that places an object with the largest weight into the first bin in which it would fit. Your program should prompt the user to enter the total number of objects and the weight of each object. The program displays the total number of containers needed to pack the objects and the contents of each container. Here is a sample run of the program: Enter the number of objects about itinerary with the following members: 1. A data field named flgihts of the List type. The list contains the flights for the itinerary in increasing order of departure Time. A constructor that creat: 6 Enter the weights of the objects: 7 5 2 3 5 8 Container 1 contains objects with weight 8 2 Container 2 contains objects with weight 7 3 Container 3 contains objects with weight 55
Justin receives 52 weekly paychecks per year. Each week, he contributes a specific percentage of his gross weekly pay to his retirement plan at work. His employer also contributes to his retirement plan, but at a different rate. Justin wants a program that calculates and displays the total annual contribution made to his retirement plan by him and his employer. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using $640 as the gross weekly pay, 6% as Justin’s contribution rate, and 4% as the employer’s contribution rate. Then desk-check it using your own set of data.
I'm stuck on this problem, and here's what I'm stumped on: Meadowdale Dairy Farm sells organic brown eggs to consumers in the surrounding area. For a dozen eggs, it charges $3.25, and for individual eggs that are not part of a dozen, it charges 45 cents each egg. Using the following phrasing, write a program that prompts a user to enter the number of eggs in the order and then displays the amount owed along with a detailed explanation of why the amount is due: You placed an order for 27 eggs. There are 2 dozen eggs at $3.25 per dozen and 3 loose eggs at 45 cents each, which adds up to a total of $7.85.
Transient PopulationPopulations are affected by the birth and death rate, as well as the number of people who move in and out each year. The birth rate is the percentage increase of the population due to births and the death rate is the percentage decrease of the population due to deaths. Write a program that displays the size of a population for any number of years. The program should ask for the following data: The starting size of a population P The annual birth rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)B The annual death rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)D The average annual number of people who have arrived A The average annual number of people who have moved away M The number of years to display nYears Write a function that calculates the size of the population after a year. To calculate the new population after one year, this function should use the formulaN = P + BP - DP + A - Mwhere N is the…

Task 16 Write a Python program that asks the user for one number and tells if it is a prime number or not. [The input number has to be an INTEGER] Prime Number: If a number has only two divisors, (1 and itself), then it is prime. If it is divisible by more numbers, then it is not a prime. Hint: use the divisor count from task 16. Example01: Input: 11 Output: 11 is a prime number Explanation: 11 has only 2 divisors: 1, and 11.
A company of 20 employees wants to find the employee who made the highest commission so he/she can be paid a 10% bonus of the commission he/she earned for that month. The commission an employee makes is calculated by multiplying the sales amount by the commission rate. The commission rates are shown below: Sales Amount Commission Less Than 40000 No commission 40000 to 80000 inclusive 5% Greater than 80000 10% Write a program to: Prompt the user for each employee’s id (an integer value) and the sales amount For each employee, display the commission earned Display the total commission earned by all the employees Display the average commission earned by an employee Display the employee id, the commission and the bonus paid to the employee with the highest commission Must be written in c++, no arrays to be used, only use iostream library
For this question, you will write a program that prompts the user to enter an integer value between 1 and 1000 (exclusive). Your program should then print out a sequence of numbers between the given value and 1 (inclusive) following the pattern below:For a given number ai, If ai is even, then ai+1 = floor(ai / 2) If ai is odd, then ai+1 = 3ai + 1 Your program should stop printing numbers once the sequence reaches the value of 1. If the user enters a number that is not between 1 and 1000 (exclusive), print "Invalid input." and prompt the user for a number again. This sequence is referred to as the Collatz sequence. The Collatz Conjecture states that this sequence will eventually reach the value of 1 for any starting number, a fact that has not yet been proven by modern mathematics! Note: floor(x) means that x should be rounded down to the nearest integer.
Design an algorithm for a problem that processes results of a swimming competition. The program will set a number of competitors, obtain their names from the user, and uses random number generator to get the results (in seconds, as real numbers with three digits after the decimal point). Then it will find and display the average timefor all competitors, andthe names and best three results (first, second, and third places). 1. Set a number of competitors as a constant TOTAL (no more than 10) 2. Declare two arrays to hold names and results (an actual array should have different name than the formal array in the function definitions) 3. Call functions to fill the arrays with names (user entries) and results (random decimal numbers) 4. Print all names and results as a table with appropriate titles 5. Display the average time (by calling function getAverage()) 6. Sort the array of results and corresponding names 7. Print names and results for the first three places (first…
