Chapter 3, Problem 1MC
A group of statements that exist within a
- a. block
- b. parameter
- c. module
- d. expression
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Description Answer
A module is a group of statement that is present in a program in order to perform specific tasks.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Module:
- A module is a group of statement that is present in a program in order to perform specific tasks.
- Module is used to reduce complexity of a program. Instead of writing a large complex program, it can be divided into small chunks, each one performing particular part of the task.
- The approach of dividing a program into smaller chunks is called as “divide and conquer” because; a large program is divided into smaller tasks that can be easily performed.
- Module is also called as function.
- Single program contains more than one module.
Syntax:
In Python, function is written as;
#Function name
def function_Name(parameters):
#statements
Explanation for incorrect options:
Block:
Block is a piece of program which is executed as a unit in a module.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Parameter:
Parameter is a part of program, where the information is sent from one module to other module.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
Expression:
An expression contains operators, operands and values in a combined form and they are evaluated.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

- 1. Design and implement an application that reads an integer value representing a year input by the user. The purpose of the program is to determine if the year is a leap year (and therefore has 29 days in February) in the Gregorian calendar. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, unless it is also divisible by 100 but not 400. For example, the year 2003 is not a leap year, but 2004 is. The year 1900 is not a leap year because it is divisible by 100, but the year 2000 is a leap year because even though it is divisible by 100, it is also divisible by 400. Produce an error message for any input value less than 1582 (the year the Gregorian calendar was adopted). 2. Modify the solution to the previous project (i.e., Leap year) so that the user can evaluate multiple years. Allow the user to terminate the program using an appropriate sentinel value. Validate each input value to ensure it is greater than or equal to 1582.arrow_forwardPlease in Java programming languagearrow_forwardplease help with the python pseudo codearrow_forward

For example: • If a salesperson sells $100,000 in revenue while working with a company that pays 5 percent of the revenue, his/her commission check will be $5,000. • if a salesperson sells $100,000 in revenue while working with a company that pays 8 percent of the revenuo, his/her commission check will be $8,000. The program should have a method named CalculateDisplayCommission that receives the revenue sale by a salesperson and the commission percentage as arguments, and calculates and displays the commission earned by the salesman.

The buttons are marketed as a conversation starter, and the company's slogan is "It starts the buzz!" The owner is promoting his buttons by offering them at 99 cents each. He wants you to design a program asking the user for his or her name for the button, an e-mail address, and the number of buttons to order. The program should then add a 6% sales tax and a flat shipping rate of $2.00. The program displays the information the user enters as well as the button price total, sales tax amount, shipping amount, and order total. The company contacts the user by e-mail later for shipping address information. Using pseudocode, design an algorithm that asks the user for the number of fixed-price items to order, adds sales tax and flat-rate ship- ping, and displays the result.
