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 Languagearrow_forwardASSIGNMENT: 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. The letter will be one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When the letter is T,…arrow_forwardJavaarrow_forward

The program then displays the following: I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number? Please type your first guess. The player then type a first guess. The program responds with one of the following: 1. Excellent ! you guessed the number! Would like to play again (y or n)? 2. Too low. Try again. 3. Too high. Try again. If the payer’s guess is incorrect, your program should loop until the player finally get the number right. Your program should keep telling the player Too high or Too low to help the player “zero in” on the correct answer.arrow_forward
