Chapter 6, Problem 12CRP

John Programmer argues that the ability to declare constants within a program is not necessary because variables can be used instead. For example, our example of AirportAlt in Section 6.2 could be handled by declaring AirportAlt to be a variable and then assigning it the required value at the beginning of the program. Why is this not as good as using a constant?

1. In the game of Monopoly, a pair of dice are rolled to move a player's piece around the board. If a double is rolled (the dice show the same number), the player receives another roll of the dice. If a double is rolled a second time, a third roll of the dice is received. If a double is rolled on the third occasion, the player forfeits their turn (and goes to Jail). Write a program which simulates two players having 50 turns each (a turn however many dice rolls a player has in a row before it's the other player's turn) and determines: a) the total number of spaces moved by each player; and b) how many times a player rolls a double which results in movement of a piece. Use the randi function. For fun, incorporate the rule that a player cannot leave Jail (cannot move) unless they either roll a double or three turns have passed without rolling a double.
Write a C# program that plays a guessing game with the user. Your program should select a random number between 1 and 50 and then let the user try to guess it. The program should continue asking the user for a number until he guesses correctly. (See below for some tips on random numbers). CHALLENGE #1: Modify your program so that it only allows the user 10 guesses, and then declares them to be an inadequate guesser if they haven’t gotten it correct. Your program should output the random number chosen. CHALLENGE #2: Modify your program so that after they guess a number (or get declared inadequate, if you do Challenge #1) that it asks them if they want to play again, and responds accordingly. Some Random Number Generation HintsRandom rndNumber = new Random();Console.WriteLine(rndNumber.Next()); //random integerConsole.WriteLine(rndNumber.Next(101)); //random integer between 0 and 100Console.WriteLine(rndNumber.Next(10, 43)); //random integer between 10 and…
Question 2: As a python programmer for an educational institution you are instructed to write a program to simulate the grades for 5 subject areas and display the grade for each based on the following guidelines: Take in the marks of 5 subjects from the user and store it in different variables. 2. Find the average of the marks. 3. Use an else condition to decide the grade based on the average of the marks. 4. Print the Words "Successful Grad Earned" if the student has passed, if the student has failed print the Words" Re-Take Exam" 5. Exit A. Write an algorithm to represent the steps for this program B: Write a program in python to execute the guidelines presented above C. Draw a detailed flowchart to represent the program
