Chapter 4, Problem 10PP

(You should do Programming Projects 4.6 and 4.9 before doing this programming project.) Write a program that combines the functions of Programming Projects 4.6 and 4.9. The program asks the user if he or she wants to convert lengths or weights. If the user chooses lengths, then the program asks the user if he or she wants to convert from feet and inches to meters and centimeters or from meters and centimeters to feet and inches. If the user chooses weights, a similar question about pounds, ounces, kilograms, and grams is asked. The program then performs the desired conversion. Have the user respond by typing the integer 1 for one type of conversion and 2 for the other. The program reads the user’s answer and then executes an if -else statement. Each branch of the if -else statement will be a function call. The two functions called in the if-else statement will have function definitions that are very similar to the programs for Programming Projects 4.6 and 4.9. Thus, these functions will be fairly complicated function definitions that call other functions; however, they will be very easy to write by adapting the programs you wrote for Programming Projects 4.6 and 4.9. Notice that your program will have if-else statements embedded inside of if-else statements, but only in an indirect way. The outer if-else statement will include two function calls, as its two branches. These two function calls will each in turn include an if-else statement, but you need not think about that. They are just function calls and the details are in a black box that you create when you define these functions. If you try to create a four-way branch, you are probably on the wrong track. You should only need to think about two-way branches (even though the entire program does ultimately branch into four cases). Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she wants to end the program.

Write the following function to draw a regular polygon:def drawPolygon(x = 0, y = 0, radius = 50, numberOfSides = 3):The polygon is centered at (x, y) with a specified radius for the bounding circle for the polygon and the number of sides. Write a test program that displays a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, and octagon, as shown in Figure 6.12a.

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• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.If the patient was an out-patient the following data should be entered:• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.Use a single, separate function to validate that no input is less than zero. If it is, it should be re-entered before being returned.Once the required data has been input and validated, 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 data. Both functions should return the total charges.
