Chapter 10, Problem 9PE
Lowest and Highest Gas Prices
Assume that you have a file that contains the weekly average prices for a gallon of gas in the United States for the past 3 years. The data is stored in the file as records. Each record contains the average price of a gallon of gas on a specific date. Each record contains the following fields:
- The month, stored as an integer. January= 1, February= 2, etc.
- The day of the month, stored as an integer.
- The year, stored as an integer.
- The average price of a gallon of gas on the specified date, stored as a real number, rounded to 3 decimal places.

Pendant Publishing edits multi-volume manuscripts for many authors. For each volume, they want a label that contains the author’s name, the title of the work, and a volume number in the form Volume 9 of 9. For example, a set of three volumes requires three labels: Volume 1 of 3, Volume 2 of 3, and Volume 3 of 3. Design an application that reads records that contain an author’s name, the title of the work, and the number of volumes. The application must read the records until eof is encountered and produce enough labels for each work. Design a flowchart and psuedocode Pendant Publishing.
C# According to the following statement, __.Random rn = new Random();
Question 1 options:
It declares a variable named rn that can be used to reference an object of the Random type.
The new operator creates an object in memory and returns a reference to that object.
The = operator assigns the reference that was returned from the new operator to the rn object.
All of the above.
C++HurdleWords The HurdleWords class is mostly provided to you. HurdleWords is constructed from two files in the data/ folder: ● valid_guesses.txt (all 5 letter guesses considered to be valid words to guess), and ● valid_hurdles.txt (all words that may be selected to be the secret Hurdle.) ● Note: you may edit both text files if you’d like to add custom words to your game. HurdleWords stores all potential valid Hurdles from valid_hurdles.txt into a vector of strings (valid_hurdles_), and all valid guesses from valid_guesses.txt into an unordered set of strings (valid_guesses_). A set is simply a data structure that contains no duplicates and allows for a speedy lookup to check if a given element exists within the set. Because there are over 10,000 valid guesses, we store them in an unordered set to leverage their speediness, as you will need to check if a user-submitted guess is considered valid (i.e. their guess is considered a valid guess in the dictionary). You are responsible for…

- 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.arrow_forwardFleet class: Instance Variables An array that stores Aircraft that represents Delta Airlines entire fleet A variable that represents the count for the number of aircraft in the fleet Methods: o Constructor-One constructor that instantiates the array and sets the count to aero readFile()-This method accepts a string that represents the name of the file to be read.

- C++ Help Patients Requirements: You are working in a doctors’ office and have been tasked with creating an application to maintain Patient records for each doctor in the office. Create a class to maintain a Doctor. A doctor has a name that must be stored in the Doctor class. A doctor can only treat 3 patients but could treat fewer than 3. The information for each patient should be encapsulated in a Patient class and should include the patient’s last name and up to 5 cholesterol readings for the patient. Note that less than 5 cholesterol readings may sometimes be stored. Your Doctor class should support operations to add a patient record to the end of his/her list of assigned patients (i.e., use a vector to store Patient objects in the Doctor class), and to list all patient records (name and associated cholesterol readings).
