Chapter 4, Problem 1MC
Program Description Answer
The println statement in the given program segment displays the value “5”.
Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Increment operator “++”:
The increment operator is used to increment or increase the value of the variable by “1”.
Example:
/*the variable val is increased by 1 with a postfix representation */
val++;
/*the variable val is increased by 1 with a prefix representation */
++val;
In the given program segment, the variable “x” is declared and initialized with the value “5”. In the println statement, post-increment operation is performed using the statement “x++”. As per postfix mode, the value of the variable “x” is printed and then the value is incremented. Therefore, the value of “x”, which is “5” is printed using the println statement and then the value of “x” is incremented.
Explanation for incorrect options:
b. 6:
The value of “x” is incremented to 6 after it is displayed.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
c. 0:
The value of “x” is initialized as 5, and then it is not modified as “0”.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

In this lab, you complete a partially written Python program that includes a function that returns a
5 # Write performOperation function here
value. The program is a simple calculator that prompts the user for two numbers and an operator (
+, -, *, or / ).
7 if -_name_- == '-_main__':
numberOne = int(input("Enter the first number: "))
numberTwo = int(input("Enter the second number: "))
operation = input("Enter an operator (+ - * /): ")
8
The two numbers and the operator are passed to the function where the appropriate arithmetic
10
operation is performed. The result is then returned to where the arithmetic operation and result are

displayed.

- Question 2: Grade Calculation Program - designing You will write a python program to compute the final grade of a student in this course. Your program should first ask the student's name and then ask that student for their marks in all six assessment criteria in the following sequence: practice problems, tutorials, assignments, self- evaluations, tests, and final exam. All numbers entered will be a percentage (i.e., out of 100) and can have optional decimal components. Your program must compute the final Point Grade (out of 100) for this student using the correct weight assigned for each assessment criterion. Be sure to read the course outline and Lecture-0 to find the weight distribution. The next step is to convert the final point grade of that student to a letter grade according to the following (simplified) conversion table.¹ Point Grade* [90-100] [80-90) [70-80) [60-70) [50-60) Below 50 Letter Grade A+ A B C D F *A square bracket indicates that the range is inclusive at that end,…arrow_forwardChallenge Problem (pyhton) T E S T S C O R E S Write a program that implements a test scores program. Valid test score entries are between 0 and 100 inclusive. The program should display a welcome message and run everything through the "main" function. have the ability to enter several test scores (try a loop) and print out the total score, as well as, the average score. continuously ask for test scores until the number 99.9 has been entered. test for valid entries and the value 99.9. If a test score is valid, the program should add the current score to the total score and update the number of test scores by one (+1), otherwise it displays an error message. Note : This assignment involves the use of a while loop and if-else decision making controls. You CANNOT use the reserved keywords break and continue for any portion of this program or any program for that matter throughout this course.arrow_forwardProgramming language: c++ (1) Prompt the user for a string that contains two strings separated by a comma. Examples of strings that can be accepted: Jill, Allen Jill , Allen Jill,Allen Ex: Enter input string: Jill, Allen (2) Print an error message if the input string does not contain a comma. Continue to prompt until a valid string is entered. Note: If the input contains a comma, then assume that the input also contains two strings. Ex: Enter input string: Jill Allen Error: No comma in string. Enter input string: Jill, Allen (3) Extract the two words from the input string and remove any spaces. Store the strings in two separate variables and output the strings.

- Functions & Loops : Case Studies Prompt the user to input two positive integers. Variables: firstNum and secondNum (firstNum must be less than secondNum) (use while loop); create a user-defined function called validateUserInput() to validate the user's input. Use Call-by-Value. validateUserInput() is a value returning function. Output all odd numbers between firstNum and secondNum. (use while loop); create a user-defined function called oddNumbers(). Use Call-by-Value. oddNumbers() is a void function. Output the sum of all even numbers between firstNum and secondNum. (use while loop); create a user-defined function called sumEvenNumbers(). Use Call-by-Value. Declare a variable called sumEven in the main() for the sumEvenNumbers(). sumEvenNumbers() is a value returning function. Use sumEven to hold a returned value. Output the numbers and their squares between 1 and 10. (use while loop): create a user-defined function called displaySquareNumbers().
