- COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCES INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENT 1 The salary scales of workers in an institution are taken as input. The workers get paid as per the following rules: Scale 1: Salary is 10,000 KES. Scale 2: Salary is 15,000 KES. Scale 3: Salary is 20,000 KES. Using appropriate control structure, write a program to display salary at different scales. 2 Write a program to calculate the salary as per the following table: Years of Service Qualifications Salary <10 Post-Graduate 15000 10 Graduate 10000 <10 Post-Graduate 10000 10 Graduate 7000 3 State and explain primary Data types used in C programmingarrow_forwardC++ languagearrow_forwardHide Assignment Information Instructions The civil engineering department has asked you to write a program to compare three different designs of water towers shown in the diagrams below. The water towers are a cylinder topped with a half sphere. The engineers want to find the design that has the highest volume. The radius of the sphere and the radius and height of the cylinder for each of the three projects will need to be input by the user. The formula for the volume of a Sphere is:V = 4/3 π r3The formula for the volume of a Cylinder is:V = π r2 h Write two functions that will calculate the volume of a sphere and a cylinder respectively. Then, use these functions to write a program that will find the design with the largest volume. Hint: Remember that the tower only consists of a half sphere.arrow_forward
- Note: C++ language Write a program that determines the price of an item after discount according to the following rule: if the original price is greater than 100.00 then the discount is 10%, otherwise the discount is 7% in Summer seasons and 5% in Winter seasons. The program should read: 1- the original price of an item and 2- the current season (s for Summer, p for Spring, f for Fall and w for Winter) and prints on the screen the price after the discount.arrow_forwardPROGRAM LANGUAGE C PROGRAM In a course with 2 midterms and 1 final exam, you will write a code that determines the remainder and passer. The program will first say "Please enter the 1st midterm grade:" and when you enter from the keyboard, it will ask for the second exam and then the final grade. The effect of the first midterm grade will be 25%, the effect of the second visa grade will be 25% and the effect of the final exam will be 50%. If these three exams are calculated with the percentages given, the result will be "Passed the Course!" If it is 50 and above, and if it is below 50, "Failed from the Course" will be written.
