Question
Chapter 8, Problem 2PP
Program Plan Intro
Average Number of Letters
Program plan:
Design the form:
- Place two label box controls on the form, and change its name and properties.
- Place one text box control on the form, and change its name and properties to get the string from user.
- Place one command button control on the form, and change its name and properties to count the word in a string and determine the average of number of letters and then display it.
In code window, write the code:
Program.cs:
- Include the required libraries.
- Define the namespace “Average”.
- Define a class “Program”.
- Define a constructor for the class.
- Define required functions to run “Form1”.
- Define a class “Program”.
Form1.cs:
- Include the required libraries.
- Define namespace “Average”.
- Define a class “Form1”.
- In btnCount() method,
- Call countWords() method to count the number of words in a sentence.
- Call countCharacters() method to find the average number of words in a sentence.
- Display the count and average number of words into label box.
- In countWords() method,
- Declare the required variables.
- Check whether “i” is equal to “0” and any white space in a sentence. If yes, set the word begin.
- Otherwise, check whether “i” is greater than “0” and any white space in a sentence. If yes, set the word begin.
- Check whether the word begin is set and check the word is digit or letter with correct punctuation. If yes, increment the counter value by “1”.
- Return the number of words.
- In countCharacters() method,
- Declare the required variables.
- Check whether string length is equal to “0”. If yes, continue the execution.
- Otherwise, calculate the word length.
- Check whether the character is punctuation. If yes, decrement the word length.
- Return the count of word length.
- Close the application.
Form Design:
View the Form Design in IDE.
Set the Form Control properties in Properties window as follows:
Object | Property | Setting |
Form1 | Text | Program8_2 |
label1 | Text | Enter a string: |
textBox1 | Text | (Empty) |
lblResult | Text | (Empty) |
btnCount | Text | Count Words |
- Add two label box controls to the form from Toolbox.
- Add one text box control to the form from Toolbox.
- Add one command button control to the form from Toolbox.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1). Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values. Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
