Chapter 6, Problem 7PP

This project is the same as Programming Project 6, except that in this project your program will use a more sophisticated method for choosing the answer to a question. When your program reads a question, it counts the number of characters in the question and stores the number in a variable named count. It then responds with answer number count % ANSWERS. The first answer in the file is answer number 0, the next is answer number 1, then 2, and so forth. ANSWERS is defined in a constant declaration, as shown next, so that it is equal to the number of answers in the answer file:

const int ANSWERS = 8;

This way you can change the answer file so that it contains more or fewer answers and you need change only the constant declaration to make your program work correctly for a different number of possible answers. Assume that the answer listed first in the file will always be the following, even if the answer file is changed:

I'm not sure, but I think you will find the answer in Chapter #N.

When replacing the two characters #N with a number, use the number (count % NUMBER_OF_CHAPTERS + 1), where count is the variable discussed above, and NUMBER_OF_CHAPTERS is a global named constant defined to be equal to the number of chapters in this book.

write a program in python Write a program that will allow a student to enter their name and then ask them to solve 10 mathematical equations. The program should display two random numbers that are to be added, such as: 247 + 129 The program should allow the student to enter the answer. The program should then display whether their answer was right or wrong, and accumulate the right values. After the 10 questions are asked, calculate the average that was correct. Then display the student name, the number correct, and the average correct in both decimal and percentage format. In addition to any system functions you may use, you might consider the following functions: A function that allows the student to enter their name. A function that gets two random numbers, anywhere from 1 to 500. A function that displays the equation and asks the user to enter their answer. A function that checks to see if the answer is correct and accumulates the number correct. A function that calculates the…
Using a Sentinel Value to Control a while Loop in Java Summary In this lab, you write a while loop that uses a sentinel value to control a loop in a Java program that has been provided. You also write the statements that make up the body of the loop. The source code file already contains the necessary variable declarations and output statements. Each theater patron enters a value from 0 to 4 indicating the number of stars the patron awards to the Guide’s featured movie of the week. The program executes continuously until the theater manager enters a negative number to quit. At the end of the program, you should display the average star rating for the movie. Instructions Ensure the file named MovieGuide.java is open. Write the while loop using a sentinel value to control the loop, and write the statements that make up the body of the loop to calculate the average star rating. Execute the program by clicking Run. Input the following: 0, 3, 4, 4, 1, 1, 2, -1 Check that the…
The Nim game. Write a program for a two-player version of the game Nim: a human player will play against the computer. The game is simple: players take turns removing from 1 to 4 sticks from a pile of 13 sticks; the player who picks up the last stick wins the game. Here’s some pseudocode for the Nim game. Start by initializing some variables that will allow you to keep track of the state of the game: One variable should record how many sticks there are left in the pile; initially, this variable must be initialized to 13. There are two players in the game, who take turns. To remember who’s turn is next, use a variable with two states (= values). Say the variable is 1 if the human player is next, and it is 2, if the computer’s turn is next. Pick randomly the player who should start the game. Then, start the main loop of the game: the game should continue for as long as there still are sticks (at least one) to pick. In each repetition of the game loop, one player will play their turn:…
