Chapter 4, Problem 7PP
Your time machine is capable of going forward in time up to 24 hours. The machine is configured to jump ahead in minutes. To enter the proper number of minutes into your machine, you would like a
int hours, minutes;
bool isAM;
For example, to represent 11:50 PM, you would store:
hours =11
minutes = 50
isAM = false;
This means that you need six variables to store a start and future time. Write a program that allows the user to enter a start time and a future time. Include a function named computeDifference that takes the six variables as parameters that represent the start time and future time. Your function should return, as an int, the time difference in minutes. For example, given a start time of 11:59 AM and a future time of 12:01 PM, your program should compute 2 minutes as the time difference. Given a start time of 11:59 AM and a future time of 11:58 AM, your program should compute 1439 minutes as the time difference (23 hours and 59 minutes).
You may need “AM” or “PM” from the user’s input by reading in two character values. (Display 2.3 illustrates character input.) Characters can be compared just like numbers. For example, if the variable aChar is of type char, then (aChar == ‘A’) is a Boolean expression that evaluates to true if aChar contains the letter A.

Problem:
Write a program for computing the amount of money in a bank account at the end of each quarter for a period of
one year. A quarter is equivalent to 3 months. Assume that the account is created at the beginning of a year (i.e.
January 1). The year will be entered at run time through the keyboard. The account has an initial principal that is
entered at run time through the keyboard. No deposit or withdrawal is made within the one-year period. The
interest is compounded quarterly which means that the interest earned for the first quarter will form part of the
principal for the second quarter, the interest earned for the second quarter will form part of the principal for the
third quarter and so on. The annual interest rate is 5%. The interest rate for a quarter is computed by dividing the
annual interest rate by 4 since there are four quarters in a year. The computational procedure (see algorithm) and
the output of the program (see sample run) are shown below. The output includes…

- Please answer it in Python Suppose we play a game where each round takes place in the following way: first, we roll a dice, and its result gives the number of points at stake. Then, the player can, if he wishes, trigger his bonus "double account" or his bonus "triple account". Then, the player answers a number of questions, and calculates his percentage of correct answers. The points awarded to the player for that round are then calculated based on the percentage of correct answers and the number of points in play rounded to the nearest integer (for example, with 50% correct answers and 6 points in play, the player gets 3 points; with 45% correct answers and 8 points in play, the player gets 4 points). Finally, this number of points is possibly multiplied by two or three if the corresponding bonus has been used.

- 1. For this problem, you are going to design a game for the children to teach them about numbers. You are going to take numbers as input from the user as long as he has not entered an even number. If enters odd number, ask him again to give input. When he enters an even number, print that the number is even, and you have won. The program should include the following specifications: É) This will go on, until the user gives an even number input F) When you find an even number, print, "You win! is an even number"arrow_forwardHello, I was wondering if I could get help with this.

- Using C Language: Write a program that consists of 2 guessing game. The first game: It is a guessing game in which the computer picks a specific number from 1 to 10, then the user guesses the number chosen by the computer and has ten attempts, and in each attempt the chosen number by the computer changes. The second game: A guessing game. The computer also chooses a three-digit number, for example: 950 and you have ten attempts to predict the number chosen by the computer. For example, the user types 390, the computer will tell him that the first digit is wrong, the second digit is correct, but it is not in the correct location, and the last digit, which is 0, is correct.

- When Jacob Steinberg began his trip from California to Vermont, he filled his car’s tank with gas and reset its trip meter to 0. After traveling 324 miles, Jacob stopped at a gas station to refuel; the gas tank required 17 gallons. Jacob wants a program that calculates and displays his car’s gas mileage at any time during the trip. The gas mileage is the number of miles his car can be driven per gallon of gas. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using 324 as the number of miles driven and 17 as the number of gallons used; then desk-check it using 280 and 15.arrow_forwardThe Café Noir Coffee Shop wants some market research on its customers. When a customer places an order, a clerk asks for the customer’s zip code and age. The clerk enters that data as well as the number of items the customer orders. The program operates continuously until the clerk enters a 0 for zip code at the end of the day. When the clerk enters an invalid zip code (more than 5 digits) or an invalid age (defined as less than 10 or more than 110), the program reprompts the clerk continuously. When the clerk enters fewer than 1 or more than 12 items, the program reprompts the clerk two more times. If the clerk enters a high value on the third attempt, the program accepts the high value, but if the clerk enters a negative value onthe third attempt, an error message is displayed and the order is not counted. At the end of the program, display a count of the number of items ordered by customers from the same zip code as the coffee shop (54984), and a count from other zip codes.
