Chapter 6, Problem 1PP

Write a grading program for a class with the following grading policies:

  1. There are two quizzes, each graded on the basis of 10 points.
  2. There is one midterm exam and one final exam, each graded on the basis of 100 points.
  3. The final exam counts for 50 % of the grade, the midterm counts for 25 % , and the two quizzes together count for a total of 25 % . (Do not forget to normalize the quiz scores. They should be converted to a percentage before they are aver-aged in.)

Any grade of 90 or more is an A, any grade of 80 or more (but less than 90) is a B, any grade of 70 or more (but less than 80) is a C, any grade of 60 or more (but less than 70) is a D, and any grade below 60 is an F. The program will read in the student’s scores and output the student’s record, which consists of two quiz and two exam scores as well as the student’s average numeric score for the entire course and final letter grade. Define and use a structure for the student record.

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

1. The following variables are used in the program.

  • quiz1 variable of integer data type is used to store the score of quiz 1.
  • quiz2variable of integer data type is used to store the score of quiz 2.
  • midtermvariable of integer data type is used to store the score of midterm exam.
  • final variable of integer data type is used to store the score of final exam.
  • grade variable to character data type is used to store the final grade.
  • Student struct to store all the scores of the student.

2. The following method is used in the program:

calculate() method to calculate the final score of the student.

Program Description:

In this program, user input is taken for all the 4 scores. These scores are used to calculate the final score. The final grade is decided based on the final score. The scores of a student are stored in a struct.

Explanation of Solution

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// structure to hold scores of a student 
struct Student
{
    int quiz1, quiz2;
    int midterm, final;
};

// method to calculate the final score of a student 
// takes the structure as a parameter
float calculate(Student& s)
{
    int quiz;
    float total;

    quiz = s.quiz1 + s.quiz2;

    total = (s.final/2) + (s.midterm/4) + (quiz/4)*5;

    return total;
}


// main method for testing of the code 
int main()
{
    // variable of type struct created
    Student s;

    // user input taken for all 4 scores 
    std::cout << "Enter the score of quiz 1: ";
    std::cin >> s.quiz1;

    std::cout << "Enter the score of quiz 2: ";
    std::cin >> s.quiz2;

    std::cout << "Enter the score of midterm exam: ";
    std::cin >> s.midterm;

    std::cout << "Enter the score of final exam: ";
    std::cin >> s.final;

    // final score collected from calculate() method
    float a = calculate(s);
    char grade;

    // calculating grade based on final score 
    if(a>=90)
        grade = 'A';
    if(a<90 && a>=80)
        grade = 'B';
    if(a<80 && a>=70)
        grade = 'C';
    if(a<70 && a>=60)
        grade = 'D';
    if(a<60)
        grade = 'F';

    // displaying student result  
    std::cout << "\n=== STUDENT RECORD ===" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Quiz 1: " << s.quiz1 << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Quiz 2: " << s.quiz2 << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Midterm exam: " << s.midterm << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Final exam: " << s.final << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Average score: " << a << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Final grade: " <<grade << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Sample output:

Enter the score of quiz 1: 6
Enter the score of quiz 2: 5
Enter the score of midterm exam: 60
Enter the score of final exam: 75

=== STUDENT RECORD ===
Quiz 1: 6
Quiz 2: 5
Midterm exam: 60
Final exam: 75
Average score: 62
Final grade: D

Explanation:

In the above program, a struct is created having 4 integer data members to store all the 4 scores. In the main() function, user input is taken for all the 4 scores. These scores are stored in the struct data members. The struct is passed as a parameter to the calculate() function. The calculate() function calculates the final score and returns the final score. The final score is collected from the calculate() function inside main() function. Using multiple if statements, the final grade is decided based on the final score. The 4 scores along with the final score and the final grade of the student are displayed.

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…
I need to know about the use and configuration of files and folders, and their attributes in Windows Server 2019.
Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York.  Each flight requires two pilots.  Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines).  The average profit per flight is $6000.  Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots.  Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick.  Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15.  A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…
