Chapter 1, Problem 4PP

A government research lab has concluded that an artificial sweetener commonly used in diet soda pop will cause death in laboratory mice. A friend of yours is desperate to lose weight but cannot give up soda pop. Your friend wants to know how much diet soda pop it is possible to drink without dying as a result. Write a program to supply the answer. The program has no input but does have defined constants for the following items: the amount of artificial sweetener needed to kill a mouse, the weight of the mouse, the starting weight of the dieter, and the desired weight of the dieter. To ensure the safety of your friend, be sure the program uses the weight at which the dieter will stop dieting, rather than the dieter's current weight, to calculate how much soda pop the dieter can safely drink. You may use any reasonable values for these defined constants. Assume that diet soda contains 1/l0th of 1 % artificial sweetener. Use another named constant for this fraction. You may want to express the percent as the double value 0. 001. (If your program turns out not to use a defined constant, you may remove that defined constant from your program.)

Simulate the dice game of lucky sevens. The rules are: roll two dice if the sum equals 7, win $4 if the sum is not 7, lose $1 Write a program that asks the user how much they would like start the game with. The program should then: simulate the dice roll (using the random function) and show what was rolled show what the user’s funds are after each roll ask the user if they want to roll again if the user wants to roll again, repeat the three actions above if the user does not want to roll again give some response and end the game the final output should show if they won or lost money, and how many rolls they played
In python The Nim game. Write a program for a two-player version of the game Nim: a human player will play against the computer. The game is simple: players take turns removing from 1 to 4 sticks from a pile of 13 sticks; the player who picks up the last stick wins the game. Here’s some pseudocode for the Nim game. Start by initializing some variables that will allow you to keep track of the state of the game: One variable should record how many sticks there are left in the pile; initially, this variable must be initialized to 13. There are two players in the game, who take turns. To remember who’s turn is next, use a variable with two states (= values). Say the variable is 1 if the human player is next, and it is 2, if the computer’s turn is next. Pick randomly the player who should start the game. Then, start the main loop of the game: the game should continue for as long as there still are sticks (at least one) to pick. In each repetition of the game loop, one player will play…
The body mass index, BMI, is a measure used to determine if a person is overweight or not. We can calculate BMI from the weight of the person (in pounds) and the height (in inches) of the person.The formula for calculating BMI is:BMI = (weightInPounds * 703) divided by (heightInInches squared)In this problem, you will develop a Java program as a BMI calculator, that reads the user’s weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays the user’s body mass index BMI. Also, display the following information {from the US Department of Health} so the user can evaluate his/her BMI:BMI values:Underweight: less than 18.5Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9Overweight: between 25 and 29.9Obese: 30 or greater
