A barcode scanner for Universal Product Codes (UPCS) verifies the 12-digit code scanned by
comparing the code's largest digit (called a check digit) to its own computation of the check digit
from the first 11 digits as follows:
1. Calculate the sum of the digits in the odd-numbered positions (the first, third,... eleventh
digits) and multiply this sum by 3.
2. Calculate the sum of the digits in the even-numbered position (the second, fourth...tenth
digits) and add this to the previous result.
3. If the last digit of the result from step 2 is 0, then 0 is the check digit. Otherwise, subtract
the last digit from 10 to calculate the check digit.
4. If the check digit matches the final digit of the 12-digit UPC, the UPC is assumed correct
By using C++ write a program that prompts the user to enter the 12 digits of a barcode separated by
space.
The program should store the digits in an integer array, calculate the check digit, and compare it
to the final barcode digit. If the digits match,…
Any floating-point representation used in a computer can represent only certain real
numbers exactly; all others must be approximated. If A' is the stored value approxi-
mating the real value A, then the relative error, r, is expressed as
A - A'

Design a computer that is able to store (0.1)10 exactly. A floating point number on your computer
must be represented internally in a base less than 10, and must have a mantissa with a finite number
of digits. (Hint: Is this possible?)
