Winning Division
Write a
• double getSales () is passed the name of a division. It asks the user for a division’s quarterly sales figure, validates that the input is not less than 0, then returns it. It should be called once for each division.
• void findHighest () is passed the four sales totals. It determines which is the largest and prints the name of the high grossing division, along with its sales figure.

Write a program that determines which of five geographic regions within a major city (north, south, east, west, and central) had the fewest reported automobile accidents las year. It should have the following two functions, which are called by main:
int getNumAccidents() is passed the name of a region. It asks the user for the number of automobile accidents reported in that region during the last year, validates the input, then returns it. It should be called once for each city region.
void findLowest() is passed, the five accident totals. It determines which is the smallest and prints the name of the region, along with its accident figure.
Input Validation: Do not accept an accident number that is less than 0.
Lowest Score Drop
Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions:
void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered.
void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.
int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop.
Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100.

A particular talent competition has five judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the three remaining scores. Write a program that uses this method to calculate a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:
void getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge's score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges.
void calcScore() should calculate and display the average of the three scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.
The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the…

- Function Name: compliments Parameters: answer1 - a boolean (True or False) representing whether the user is "smart" answer2 - a boolean (True or False) representing whether the user is "awesome" answer3 - a boolean (True or False) representing whether the user is "fun" Description: Write a function that outputs a string of compliments based on the adjectives selected by the inputs. Use the inputs True and False. The function should return the string “You are” concatenated with the compliments that are true. The three compliments should be: "smart" "awesome" and "fun". If none of the compliments are true, print the string “Goodbye.” instead.

- 5. A prime number is a number that is only evenly divisible by itself and 1. For example, the number 5 is prime because it can only be evenly divided by 1 and 5. The number 6, how- ever, is not prime because it can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a Boolean function named is_prime which takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number, or false otherwise. Use the function in a program that prompts the user to enter a number then displays a message indicating whether the number is prime. 6.
