Using C++
Write a program that plays a dice game called "21"
It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
Here are the rules of the game:
You will play with dice that have numbers from 1 to 11.
To win, the player or the computer has to get to 21, or as close as possible without going over.
If the player or computer goes over 21, they instantly lose.
If there is a tie, the computer wins.
Starting the game:
The player is asked to give the computer a name. For now, we'll simply call the computer opponent, "computer."
The game starts with rolling four dice.
The first two dice are for the player. These two dice are added up and the total outputted to the screen.
The other two dice are for the computer. Likewise, their total is outputted to the screen.
Player Loop:
If a total of 21 has been reached by either the player or the computer, the game instantly stops and the winner is…
Using C Language
Problem: A company wants a program that will calculate the weekly paycheck for an employee based on how many hours they worked. For this
company, an employee earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $30 an hour, for each hour they
work above 40 hours.
Example: If an employee works 60 hours in a week, they would earn $20/hr for the first 40 hours. Then they would earn $30/hr for the 20 hours
they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: ($20/hr 40hrs) + ($30/hr 20 hrs) = $800 + $600 = $1400 total.
For this assignment, you must create pseudocode and a flowchart to design a program that will calculate an employee's weekly paycheck.
. Write pseudocode to design a programming solution by outlining a series of steps and using appropriate indentation and keywords. As you
write your pseudocode, be sure to consider the following:
What input does the computer need?
What steps does the program need to follow to process the input? What output should…

- ASSIGNMENT: You are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculates the cost of lumber for an order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber. Lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. The price per board foot is given in the following table: Pine 0.89 Fir 1.09 Cedar 2.26 Maple 4.50 Oak 3.10 The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet of length) that need to be converted to board feet. For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which when divided by 12 = 5.333 board feet). An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and four integer numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length.

- When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forwardIN C# (reject if you can't do C# please): Write an application that runs 1,000,000 games of craps and answers the following questions (explain each step): How many games are won on the first roll, second roll, …, twentieth roll and after the twentieth roll?

Thanks. Suppose a loan has a face value of $1,000, the annual interest rate is 15%, and the duration is 18 months. The interest-to-be-paid is computed by multiplying the face value of $1,000 by 0.15, yielding $150. That figure is then multiplied by the loan period of 1.5 years to yield $225 as the total interest owed. That amount is immediately deducted from the face value, leaving the consumer with only $775 (i.e. $1000 - $225). Repayment is made in equal monthly installments based on the face value (i.e. $1000 in this case). So the monthly loan payment will be $1,000 divided by 18, which is $55.56. This method of calculation may be alright if the client needs $775, but the…arrow_forwardC languagearrow_forward
