Sorted List of 1994 Gas Prices
Note: This assignment can be done either as an enhancement to the program that you wrote for
In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 1994_Weekly_Gas_Averages.txt. The file contains the average gas price for each week in the year 1994, (There are 52 lines in the file. Line 1 contains the average price for week 1, line 2 contains the average price for week 2, and so forth.) Write a program that reads the gas prices from the file, and calculates the average gas price for each month. (To get the average price for a given month, calculate the average of the average weekly prices for that month.) Then, the program should create another file that lists the names of the months, along with each month’s average gas price, sorted from lowest to highest.

C++HurdleWords The HurdleWords class is mostly provided to you. HurdleWords is constructed from two files in the data/ folder: ● valid_guesses.txt (all 5 letter guesses considered to be valid words to guess), and ● valid_hurdles.txt (all words that may be selected to be the secret Hurdle.) ● Note: you may edit both text files if you’d like to add custom words to your game. HurdleWords stores all potential valid Hurdles from valid_hurdles.txt into a vector of strings (valid_hurdles_), and all valid guesses from valid_guesses.txt into an unordered set of strings (valid_guesses_). A set is simply a data structure that contains no duplicates and allows for a speedy lookup to check if a given element exists within the set. Because there are over 10,000 valid guesses, we store them in an unordered set to leverage their speediness, as you will need to check if a user-submitted guess is considered valid (i.e. their guess is considered a valid guess in the dictionary). You are responsible for…
C programming
create a text base game to race 4 cars across the screen and determine the first second and third place. A text file (car.txt) with the name of the driver, type of the race car, car number, and the color of the car is given to you.
In addition to the above, the user(s) should be asked if they want to modify their car’s specs. Such as the type of race car (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc.), the car number, name of driver, and the color. The user should be able to make changes to their vehicle between each race. The modifications are to be saved to a file.
With each key press a random number between 0 and 10 is generated to represent the cars next distance to travel.
Usage: mortgagepmt [-s] -r rate [-d downpayment] price
In this assignment, you are asked to do a mortgage payment calculation. All information needed for this will be passed to the program on the command line. There will be no user input during the execution of the program.
You will need a few pieces of information. The price of the home and the amount of the down payment. You will also need to know the interest rate and the term of the mortgage. To figure your mortgage payment, start by converting your annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate by dividing by 12. Next, add 1 to the monthly rate. Third, multiply the number of years in the term of the mortgage by 12 to calculate the number of monthly payments you’ll make. Fourth, raise the result of 1 plus the monthly rate to the negative power of the number of monthly payments you’ll make. Fifth, subtract that result from 1. Sixth, divide the monthly rate by the result. Last, multiply the result by the amount you want to borrow.…

Remove a player: Displays the roster and prompts the user to enter the number of the player to remove. Then removes the player from the roster. Quit: Quits the program. The program should display the main menu after the user shows the roster, adds a player, or removes a player. The program only terminates when the user chooses the quit option. Data validation should be used where appropriate. Ex: The user should not be able to choose an option that doesn't exist or delete a player that doesn't exist.

- Air Pacific Limited, Fiji's international airline, operates international and domestic services around the Pacific and to North America and Hong Kong. It has its head office at the Air Pacific Maintenance & Administration Centre in Nadi. You are required to write a program that passengers can use to chose seats for aircraft FJ501. The aircraft has 13 rows with 5 seats in each row. Rows 1 to 4 are first class, the remaining rows are economy class. The program should display the seating plan for the aircraft. Empty seats are shown with x and the seats that are booked will have the passenger name (first name plus initials of other names) on it. To reserve a seat, they have to provide their ticket type (First Class or Economy Class), the seat they prefer and their name (first name plus initials of other names). The program verifies that the seat is empty then only bookings are done. Passengers are also allowed to check the seats they are booked for by providing the passenger name (first…arrow_forwardPython Programming Questionarrow_forwardYour program has a list of professors and their office location and office hours per day of the week. The user will type either a professor’s name or day of the week. If they type a professor’s name, show that professor’s office location and office hours (all days of the week). You don’t have to do a name search, you can require the user type the professor’s name exactly right. If the user types a day of the week, show all professors and office location for professors that have office hours on that day of the week. You don’t really need to use time/date code like we did for the notebook, you can just match the day of week by the word (String) e.g., your data has “Wednesday” so if a user types exactly “Wednesday” it matches. This can all be done with hash maps (and loops / if’s / etc.) using Javaarrow_forward
