Chapter 6, Problem 9PC
Star Search
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
• 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.
• double calcScore() should calculate and return 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.
Two additional functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the scores to drop.
• int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it.
• int findHighest() should find and return the highest of the five scores passed to it.

Domino's Time
Function Name: dominosTime()
Parameters: N/A
Returns: None
Description: During the summer, you ordered a lot of food from Domino's. Pizzas are $12, an
order of pasta is $6, and chicken wings are $8. Write a function that asks the user how many
of each food item they would like, and then print a response telling them what their order to-
tal will be. The order total should be an integer.
>>> dominosTime()
How many pizzas do you want? 3
How many orders of pasta do you want? 2
How many orders of chicken wings do you want? 2
By ordering 3 pizzas, 2 orders of pasta, and 2 orders of chicken wings, your
order total comes to $64.

writing your code as a module
Instructions
Main Idea
An Olympic-size swimming pool is used in the Olympic Games, where the racecourse is 50 meters (164.0 ft) in length. "In swimming, a lap is the same as a length. By definition, a lap means a complete trip around a race track, in swimming, the pool is the race track. Therefore if you swim from one end to the other, you’ve completed the track and thus you’ve completed one lap or one length." (Source: What Is A Lap In Swimming? Lap Vs Length)
Write the function meters_to_laps() that takes a number of meters as an argument and returns the real number of laps. Complete the program to output the number of laps with two digits after the period.

- Coin Toss Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads". If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails". Demonstrate the function in a program that sks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and the coin then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.arrow_forwardComputer Sciencearrow_forwardFunction 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.

- Function Name: leapYear Parameters: year – an nonnegative integer representing the year Test Cases: >>>leapYear(1996) The year 1996 is a leap year. Enjoy your extra day! >>>leapYear(1901) The year 1901 is not a leap year. Description: Write a function which calculates whether or not a given year is a leap year and has 366 days instead of 365. A general algorithm is as follows: 1. A year will be a leap year if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100. 2. If a year is divisible by 4 and by 100, it is not a leap year unless it is also divisible by 400. Years such as 1996, 1992, 1988 and so on are leap years because they are divisible by 4 but not by 100. For century years, the 400 rule is important. Century years (ex: 1900, 1800, 1700) are exactly divisible by 4 AND exactly divisible by 100. They are not divisible by 400 and are thus not leap years.
