Chapter 3, Problem 12E
Consider the previous question, but include + or – letter grades. A+ is 4.25, A– is 3.75, B+ is 3.25. B– is 2.75, and so on.
- a. Why can’t we use one switch statement with no other conditionals to convert these additional letter grades?
- b. Write a fragment of code that will do the conversion using a multibranch if-also statement.
- c. Write a fragment of code that will do the conversion using nested switch statements.

Below is a Boolean expression. Write a block of conditional statements (if/elif/else)
that will cause the phrase "It works!" to be printed if and only if the Boolean
expression evaluates to True. Your code should not use any logical operators
(and/or/not), only conditionals and prints (and pass if necessary). You may assume
that first, second, third, and fourth are variables which have already been defined as
either True or False.
(first or not second) and not (third or fourth)
Implement the following questions using Python. Make use of conditional and print statements.Make sure to clearly define your variables and don’t forget to indent your code.

If the number of subjects he failed in is less than or equal to 3 then the grace is of 5 marks per subject. - If the student gets second class and the number of subjects he failed in is greater than 2, then he does not get any grace. If the number of subjects he failed in is less than or equal to 2 then the grace is of 4 marks per subject. - If the student gets third class and the number of subjects he failed in is greater than 1, then he does not get any grace.

If the number of credits is 126 or more, set variable status to 1 and print a message indicating the student can graduate. Otherwise, set status to 0 and print a message indicating the student can't graduate yet. Compute the variable status using the shortcut conditional operator we saw in the lecture (don't use if- statement). Then, use the variable status to decide what to print based on the conditional operator like we did in the lecture (don't use if- statement). Enter credits earned so far: 130 Status = 1 Student is ready to graduate. Enter credits earned so far: 100 Status = 0 Student is not ready to graduate. - 3 -arrow_forwardRock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock (RPSLS) is an extended version of the classical game of chance Rock Paper Scissors. This game is created by Sam Kass and Karen Bryla. In this game, the players pick one of the following variables: rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock. The outcome of the game is determined by the rules below specifying which variable defeats the other. If both players choose the same variable, the game ends in a draw. Rules: • scissors cut paper • paper covers rock • rock captures lizard • lizard poisons spock • spock smashes scissors • scissors captures lizard • lizard eats paper • paper disproves spock • spock vaporizes rock • rock crushes scissors In this project, you will write a program that takes two strings representing the choices of the players as inputs and prints the outcome of the RPSLS game. There are three possible outcomes of this game: a tie, a win for player 1 and, a win for player 2. You are supposed to determine the outcome depending on the players'…arrow_forward

You should have at least 3 choices, but you may use more. Use 2 switch statements. 1 for setting the roast and and 1 for setting the flavor and then let your user know what you made for them. Rather than having print statements within your switch statements, you'll want to set values to Strings. You declare and initialize a String variable the same way you do a primitive data type. String coffeeRoast = "dark"; or initialize to an empty String like this String coffeeRoast = ""; Depending on what the user enters, you can assign a value to a String and then use your String variables in your print statement in Javaarrow_forward
- Write an if-else statement with multiple branches. If givenYear is 2101 or greater, print "Distant future" (without quotes). Else, if givenYear is 2001 or greater (2001-2100), print "21st century". Else, if givenYear is 1901 or greater (1901-2000), print "20th century". Else (1900 or earlier), print "Long ago". End with a newline. Remember to use println instead of print to output a newline.arrow_forwardWrite a program that will figure out the required change for a purchase. Start by asking the user for the price of the product and the amount paid. (We are expecting that the user will give a larger value for the amount paid.) Read in each of these values as a double. Report back to the user the number of each denomination of change due. You are not just telling the user the amount of money he gets back. Hint: Working with integers is much easier. The modulo operator is your friend for this assignment. Also, note that pennies can be tricky due to the poor real number to binary conversions. (Remember that 1.00 could actually be stored as 0.9999999999997.) Do not include five-dollar bills, ten-dollar bills, etc. Only show coins and one-dollar bill amounts. Be sure to test multiple values. There is a test case below. Your program should run the test case exactly as it appears below, and should work on any other case in general.
