A)

Program Plan Intro

C-String:

In C++, a declaration of an array of “char” is usually referred as “C-string”; but an array of “char” is not a C-string by itself.

  • An effective C-string needs an occurrence of a terminating null character “\0”.
  • No header file has required to make a C string because “char” is a built data type. Therefore, “<cstring>” file contains several functions that work on C string.

Example:

Consider the below declaration of C string variable:

Char student_name[10];

  • Here the data type “char” is defined first and it is followed by the variable name “student_name”.
  • The “[10]” is referred as “size declarator”. It indicates how many characters it can hold in memory cells.

Given string definition:

//definition of C-string

     char name[20];

The Problem__: Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions: ⚫ void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference param- eter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered. ⚫ void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. ⚫int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100. YOU MUST USE THE STATED FUNCTIONS AND COMPLETE Input VALIDATION. **DO NOT use an ARRAY OR GLOBAL VARIABLES!!. you MUST USE function prototyping TEST THE FUNCTION TWICE.…
c++   Assignment Write a program that calculates the damage inflicted by a weapon against a target. The user will first enter the hit point of the target as well as its bludgeoning (ezici) armor and piercing (delici) armor, all as integers. Then the type of the weapon will be given as a char followed by the durability and damage of the weapon both as integers. The type of the weapon can EITHER be ‘b’ representing bludgeoning or ‘p’ representing piercing weapon. Based on the type, the user will give a final input; if it is a bludgeoning weapon, a material value as a string; if it is a piercing weapon, a thickness value as a double. After getting all this input, the program will simulate 5 consecutive attacks at the target with the given weapon and print out the final hit point of the target as an integer. The attack works differently for the type of the weapon as below and after each attack the weapon can be destroyed: If it is a bludgeoning weapon: dmg= (weapon damage-bludgeoning…
C++ Movie Data Create a program that uses a structure named MovieData to store the following information about a movie: Title Genre Director Year Released Running time (in minutes) Write a program that prompts the user for input and allows all of these member data values to be specified. Make sure you input the entire title, genre, and director for the movie.  You should also make sure that the year is inputted as a number, and that the running time is also a number.  For the year it should be after 1887, and for the running time the number should be greater than 0. The program should create two MovieData variables and create/use a method void displayMovie(MovieData) to display the information about the movie in a clearly formatted manner.
