Chapter 3, Problem 12PC
Joe's Pizza Palace needs an application to calculate the number of slices a pizza of any size can be divided into. The application should do the following:
- a. Allow the user to enter the diameter of the pizza, in inches.
- b. Calculate the number of slices that can be cut from a pizza that size.
- c. Display a message that indicates the number of slices.
To calculate the number of slices that can be cut from the pizza, you must know the following facts:
- a. Each slice should have an area of 14.125 inches.
- b. To calculate the number of slices, divide the area of the pizza by 14.125.
The area of the pizza is calculated with the following formula:
Area = πr2
Note
π is the Greek letter pi. 3.14159 can be used as its value. The variable r is the radius of the pizza. Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.
If the user fails to enter numeric values, display an appropriate error message and do not attempt to perform calculations. Use the following test data to determine if the application is calculating properly:

Scientists measure an object’s mass in kilograms and its weight in Newtons. If you know the amount of mass of an object, you can calculate its weight, in Newtons, with the following formula: Weight = Mass × 9.8Create an application that lets the user enter an object’s mass and then calculates its weight. If the object weighs more than 1000 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too heavy. If the object weighs less than 10 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too light.
Carpet Calculator
The Westfield Carpet Company has asked you to write an application that calculates the price of carpeting for rectangular rooms. To calculate the price, you multiply the area of the floor (width times length) by the price per square foot of carpet. For example, the area of floor that is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide is 120 square feet. To cover that floor with carpet that costs $8 per square foot would cost $960.
First, you should create a class named RoomDimension that has two fields: one for the length of the room and one for the width. The RoomDimension class should have a method that returns the area of the room. (The area of the room is the room’s length multiplied by the room’s width.)
Next you should create a RoomCarpet class that has a RoomDimension object as a field. It should also have a field for the cost of the carpet per square foot. The RoomCarpet class should have a method that returns the total cost of the carpet.

- Account numbers sometimes contain a check digit that is the result of a mathematical calculation. The inclusion of the digit in an account number helps ascertain whether the number is a valid one. Write an application named CheckDigit that asks a user to enter a four-digit account number and determines whether it is a valid number. The number is valid if the fourth digit is the remainder when the number represented by the first three digits of the four-digit number is divided by 7. For example, 7770 is valid, because 0 is the remainder when 777 is divided by 7. The next problems rely on the generation of a random number.
