Chapter 4, Problem 1PP

Write a program that converts from 24-hour notation to 12-hour notation. For example, it should convert 14:25 to 2:25 P.M. The input is given as two integers. There should be at least three functions: one for input, one to do the conversion, and one for output. Record the A.M./P.M. information as a value of type char, 'A' for A.M. and ' P' for P.M. Thus, the function for doing the conversions will have a call-by-reference formal parameter of type char to record whether it is A.M. or P.M. (The function will have other parameters as well.) Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values again and again until the user says he or she wants to end the program.

Expert Solution & Answer

Program Plan Intro

List of variables:

  • hours: Store the time in hours.
  • minutes: Store the time in minutes.
  • answer: Store the value response ‘y’ or ‘n’.
  • result: To store the values of ‘A’ or ‘P’ for AM or PM.

List of functions used:

  • getTime(): Used to take values of hours and minutes using call by reference parameters.
  • output(): To show the output for time.
  • conversion(): To convert the time either in AM or PM.
  • cin(): To take input from input streams like keyboard, files etc.
  • cout(): To display the output.

Summary Introduction:

Program will use the Main () method to prompt the user to enter the time in 24-hour notation and convert it in 12-hour notation. For this, three functions are provided: one for input values, second for conversion and third for output values.

Program Description:

The purpose of the program is to convert the time from 24-hour notation to 12-hour notation.

Explanation of Solution

Program:

Following is the C++ program to convert the time from 24-hour notation to 12-hour notation.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char conversion(int& hours);
void getTime(int& hours, int& minutes);
void output(int hours, int minutes, char result);
int main(){
 int hours, minutes;
 char answer;
do{
getTime(hours, minutes);
 char cp = conversion(hours);
output(hours, minutes, cp);
cout<< "\nDo you want to calculate for more time? ";
cin>> answer;
}while(answer == 'Y' || answer == 'y');
cout<< "\nThank you! ";
 return 0;
}
void getTime(int& hours, int& minutes){
 //Enter the hours and minutes as call-by-reference parameters
cout<< "Enter the time in hours: ";
cin>> hours;
cout<< "Enter the time in minutes: ";
cin>> minutes;
}
char conversion(int& hours){
 char result;
 int division;
if(hours <= 12){
 result = 'A';
 }
else{
 division = hours % 12;
if(division == 0){
 hours = 00;
 }
else{
 hours = division;
 }
 result = 'P';
 }
 return result;
}
void output(int hours, int minutes, char result){
cout<< "The time is: " << hours<< ":" << minutes << " " << result << "M";
cout<<endl;
}

Explanation:

In the above program, under main function, getTime() function which has two parameters. Hours and minutes is called to enter the values of hours and minutes. After that, conversion() function which has one parameter is called and output is stored in the variable cp. Finally, the output() function is used to display the result.

Sample Output:

Enter the time in hours: 15 
Enter the time in minutes: 24 
The time is: 3:24 PM 
Do you want to calculate for more time? y 
Enter the time in hours: 11 
Enter the time in minutes: 39 
The time is: 11:39 AM 
Do you want to calculate for more time? n 
Thank you!

Please answer the JAVA OOP Programming Assignment scenario below: Patriot Ships is a new cruise line company which has a fleet of 10 cruise ships, each with a capacity of 300 passengers. To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3. Remove Cruise – This op…
