Body Mass Index Program Enhancement

In Programming Challenge 15 in Chapter 3 you were asked to create a VB application that calculates a person’s body mass index (BMI). Recall from that exercise that the BMI is often used to determine whether a person with a sedentary lifestyle is overweight or underweight for their height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula:

BMI = weight × 703/height2

In the formula, weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. Enhance the program so it displays a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight. A sedentary person’s weight is considered to be optimal if his or her BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is considered to be underweight. If the BMI value is greater than 25, the person is considered to be overweight.

Financial Assistance Application Create the Financial Assistance Application. A non-governmental organization needs your application to calculate the amount of financial assistance for needy families. The formula is as follows: • If the annual household income is between $30,000 and $40,000 and the house- hold has at least three children, the amount is $1,000 per child. • If the annual household income is between $20,000 and $30,000 and the house- hold has at least two children, the amount is $1,500 per child. • If the annual household income is less than $20,000, the amount is $2,000 per child. Implement a function for this computation. The program asks for the household income and number of children for each applicant, printing the amount returned by your function. Use -1 as a sentinel value for the input. The program output should be formatted as shown in the Sample Run. Note: You must use at least one function in your code.
Paint Job Estimator A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, 1 gallon of paint and 8 hours of labor will be required. The company charges $20.00 per hour for labor. Create an application that allows the user to enter the square feet of wall space to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. The program should display the following data: • The number of gallons of paint required • The hours of labor required • The cost of the paint • The labor charges • The total cost of the paint job
GPA Calculator Students are concerned about their GPA. They need to calculate it accurately every semester to monitor their progress. Develop a GPA calculator that follows the AOU regulations (AOU-OU Grade Scale) using C# programming language. The application asks the student to enter his numeric grade of each course and the course's credit hours. Accordingly, the application calculates the student's GPA after converting the numeric grade to letter grade. The GPA calculation should produce floating-point results. Display the results rounded to the nearest hundredth. You should store the letter grades of all student's courses in an array. The final grade of the student should be also calculated. Sample I/O Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 93 Enter the course credit hours: 3 Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 74 Enter the course credit hours: 2 Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 60 Enter the course credit hours: 3 Enter the course grade (-1 to end): -1 The grades of your courses…
