Chapter 1.4, Problem 26STE
Program Plan Intro
- A fault in a program denotes a bug and process of elimination of bugs is termed as debugging.
- A bug denotes an error, failure or fault in a program that may generate improper result.
- The process of fixing bugs is termed as debugging.
- Some of computer systems are able to deter, detect or auto correct different computer bugs during operations.
- The bugs arise from errors made in source code of program.
- The bugs can cause program to freeze computer in terms of processing.
Types of program errors:
- The three main types of program error includes:
- Syntax errors:
- The compiler catches certain mistakes and denotes an error message.
- It denotes violation of syntax of programming language.
- The compiler issues an error message if syntax is been violated.
- The compiler sometimes raises a warning message while any unusual programming practices.
- Run-time errors:
- It denotes type of error that system detects when a program is run.
- The system may detect certain run-time errors and displays appropriate error message.
- It may be an issue with numeric calculations.
- Logic error:
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
algorithm . - It may be an issue while translation of algorithm to program code.
- It denotes that there is no error in syntax while the result obtained is not as expected by user.
- These types of errors could be corrected by careful examination of algorithm and translation.
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
- Syntax errors:

Write a program, using the syntax of whatever language you like, that produces different behavior depending on whether pass-by-reference or pass-by-value-result is used in its parameter passing.
The Problem: Your program has detected an internal problem that needsdebugging. But the program is not being debugged. How do you let theprogrammer at the problem?

On their way down the river, Jojo and Lili saw two frogs in X1 and X2 respectively. The two frogs are seen jumping up and down happily in the same direction, which is coming to Jojo. After noticing the two frogs, Jojo and Lili noticed that the speed of the two frogs was different. The first frog to start jumping from the X1 position has a speed of V1, while the second frog that starts jumping from the X2 position has a V2 speed. Jojo guessed that the "YES" of the two frogs would be in the same position in a given T time, while Bibi guessed the "NO" of the two frogs would never be in the same position in that time. Help Jojo and Lili take into account the frog's movements to determine if their guess is correct.
Format Input The first line of input consists of a series of integers namely X1, V1, X2, V2, T. X1 and V1 are the starting positions and jumping speeds per second of the first frog. X2 and V2 are the starting positions and jumping speeds per second…

- Write a program in C++ to help Buddy (the sheepdog) calculate the average age of all his sheep. Theprogram will accept as many ages as Buddy needs to input. The program should help Buddyminimize input errors by error-checking the age for him (everybody knows the maximum age forcartoon sheep is 9 years old). When Buddy’s sheep start to get old, he needs to breed moresheep. So, the code should also let Buddy know if the average age indicates if his sheep are aging,young, or middle-aged based on the chart below: average Sheep Age Population is… <= 3 Young 4 - 6 Middle-aged > 6 Agingarrow_forwardIs it possible to talk about the compiler's testability?arrow_forwardWrite algorithms to solve the problems given in each exercise. Note that you are NOT writing C++ code for this assignment. Please do not submit any code. Tom and Jerry opened a new lawn service. They provide three types of services: mowing, fertilizing, and planting trees. The cost of mowing is $35.00 per 5,000 square yards, fertilizing is $30.00 per application, and planting a tree is $50.00. Write an algorithm that prompts the user to enter the area of the lawn, the number of fertilizing applications, and the number of trees to be planted. The algorithm then determines the billing amount. (Assume that the user orders all three services.)arrow_forward

Next, more details are provided in successive steps to refine the implementation. Problem Description: Assume you are hired by a game developing company to write a new computer game for kids. This company has decided to create a version of tricky triangles with a few different rules hoping that this new game will be more entertaining.
