Program Plan Intro
Named constant:
Named constant is similar to a variable which contents cannot be changed during the execution of a program; the contents of the named constants are in read-only format.
The “const” keyword is used before the data type in variable declaration and the variable name is written in the uppercase letter.
Example:
The following statement is used to assign the value “2500” into the named constant variable “AMOUNT”:
//initializing a named constant
const int AMOUNT = 2500;

- Question 02: To use variables in your C# programs, you must know how to create variable names. In C#, variable names must adhere to the following rules: The name can contain letters, digits, and the underscore character (_). The first character of the name must be a letter. The underscore is also a legal first character, but its use is not recommended at the beginning of a name. An underscore is often used with special commands, and it's sometimes hard to read. Case matters (that is, upper- and lowercase letters). C# is case-sensitive; thus, the names count and Count refer to two different variables. C# keywords can't be used as variable names. Recall that a keyword is a word that is part of the C# language. (A complete list of the C# keywords can be found in Appendix B, "C# Keywords.")

Problem Write a program that computes and displays the charges for a patient’s hospital stay. First, the program should ask if the patient was admitted as an in-patient or an out-patient. If the patient was an in-patient, the following data should be entered: • The number of days spent in the hospital• The daily rate• Hospital medication charges• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.) The program should ask for the following data if the patient was an out-patient: • Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges The program should use two overloaded functions to calculate the total charges. One of the functions should accept arguments for the in-patient data, while the other function accepts arguments for out-patient information. Both functions should return the total charges. Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for any data.arrow_forward
