Explanation of Solution
Named constants:
In C++, constants represent fixed values and typically, they remain unchanged during program execution.
- Constants should be initialized at the time of their creation.
- New values cannot be assigned to them later.
Syntax to define the named constant:
const data_type qualifier_name = value;
Example:
// Constant declaration
const double PI_Value = 3.14;
Explanation:
It is similar to a variable declaration; however, it needs a keyword “const” before the data type. This keyword tells the compiler that the variable value is constant.
Named constant for given “const” qualifier:
Value 1:
Consider the given Euler’s constant value “2.71828” and its equivalent named constant will be as follows:
// Declare the constant value with double data type
const double EULER = 2.71828;
Explanation:
In the above statement, “const” is a keyword, double is a data type of the “const” qualifier and “EULER” is a name of the “const” qualifier.
Value 2:
Consider the given constant value “5.256E5” for minutes of a year and its equivalent named constant will be as follows:
// Declare the constant value with double data type
const double MINUTES = 5.256E5;
Explanation:
In the above statement, “const” is a keyword, double is a data type of the “const” qualifier and “MINUTES” is a name of the “const” qualifier...

- Following code in C using random Name Reg no and highschool name Use switch case in C language to do the following: Create a restaurant with the name “Your Name - Reg_No – Name of your highschool” The restaurant should come with the options of delivery and take away and the choice should be displayed as “Delivery – Registration No” and “Takeaway – Name” Each option should have the same menu and an extra 15% charge be included if a customer wants home delivery Both menus should have two items that are customizable, such as a burger can have chillies removed, cheese added and extra mayonnaise. The user should have the option of choosing multiple items with multiple quantity. Print a bill in the end.arrow_forwardAssume a program has the following variable definitions int units; float mass; double weight;and the following statement:weight = mass * units;Which automatic data type conversions will take place?arrow_forwardNeeds to be done in C# language. Problem Write a program that computes and displays the charges for a patient’s hospital stay. First, the program should ask if the patient was admitted as an in-patient or an out-patient. If the patient was an in-patient, the following data should be entered: • The number of days spent in the hospital• The daily rate• Hospital medication charges• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.) The program should ask for the following data if the patient was an out-patient: • Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges The program should use two overloaded functions to calculate the total charges. One of the functions should accept arguments for the in-patient data, while the other function accepts arguments for out-patient information. Both functions should return the total charges. Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for any data.arrow_forward
