- An instructor gives a series of exams during the semester in her math class. At the end of the semester she drops each student's lowest test score before averaging the scores. She has asked you to design a program that will read a student's test scores as input and calculate the average with the lowest score dropped. Here is the algorithm that you developed: Get the student's test scores. Calculate the total of the scores. Find the lowest score. Subtract the lowest score from the total. This gives the adjusted total. Divide the adjusted total by 1 less than the number of test scores. This is the adjusted average. Display the average. The test scores are in a text file named scores.txt and contains the following: Mickey, 71.0, 42.0, 83.0 Donald, 94.0, 73.0, 72.0, 81.0 Minnie, 95.0, 85.0, 45.0, 55.0, 65.0 A sample run is as follows: Enter a file containing floating point numbers: scores.txt Test scores for Mickey: ['71.0', '42.0', '83.0'] Removed the lowest score of 42.0 for Mickey The…arrow_forwardWrite a program to get an integer input from the user.

- Write a "Guess My Number Game" program. The program generates a random integer in a specified range, and the user (the player) has to guess the number. The program allows the use to play as many times as he/she would like; at the conclusion of each game, the program asks whether the player wants to play again. The basic algorithm is: 1. The program starts by printing instructions on the screen. 2. For every game: the program generates a new random integer in the range from MIN to MAX. Treat MIN and MAX like constants; start by initializing them to 1 and 100 ► loop to prompt the player for a guess until the player correctly guesses the integer for each guess, the program prints whether the player's guess was too low, too high, or correct at the conclusion (when the integer has been guessed): ➤ print the total number of guesses for that game print a message regarding how well the player did in that game (e.g., the player took way too long to guess the number, the player was awesome,…arrow_forwardWrite a program that calculates the equivalent resistance of a circuit. n electrical resistors with resistance values R1, R2,.., Rn are said to be connected in parallel if the same voltage is applied across each. Their equivalent resistance Reg is related to the values R1, R2, ..., Rn by: 1 1 1 1 + +...+ R R R, R. "eq Write a program that prompts the user to enter the resistance of n resistors. The user should be prompted continuously by using a while loop until a zero or negative value is entered (the program should count the number of resistors n entered by the user and store the values in an array). Use another separate loop to print the resistance values entered by the user and the equivalent resistance Reg. Test your program with R1= 1 kn, R2= 2 kn, R3= 4 kQ and R4= 8 kQ.arrow_forwardAirline companies apply baggage restrictions for their passengers. An airline company has decided to apply a 10kg limitation for passengers' hand luggage and 20kg for their normal baggage. When passengers arrive, they enter their hand and normal luggage weight from the keyboard. If passengers exceed their normal baggage allowance of 10 dollars per gram, they pay 12 dollars per kg. Accordingly, write the program that calculates the baggage price of the airline they will go to according to the baggage values entered by the arriving passenger and keeps this from closing the program for each passenger. Note: If hand and normal baggage allowances are stretched below the maximum value, the payment amount will be considered not negative. An example printout is given on the right.

- (This is a better version of an exercise from Chapter 1.) A government research lab has concluded that an artificial sweetener commonly used in diet soda pop causes death in laboratory mice. A friend of yours is desperate to lose weight but cannot give up soda pop. Your friend wants to know how much diet soda pop it is pos- sible to drink without dying as a result. Write a program to supply the answer. The input to the program is the amount of artificial sweetener needed to kill a mouse, the weight of the mouse, and the desired weight of the dieter. Assume that dietsoda contains 1/10th of 1% artificial sweetener. Use a named constant for this fraction. You may want to express the percent as the double value 0.001.arrow_forwardWrite a program that computes the theoretical flame temperature when a mixture of methane, propane, n-butane, and n-pentane (0% to 100% mole methane in 5 % increments; 0 to 100 mol% propane in 5% increments; 0% to 100% mole n-butane in 5 % increments) at 25°C is burned with excess air (0% to 100% excess in 5% increments) preheated to preheated to (50°C to 200°C in 10°C increments)arrow_forwardWrite a program that asks you to input an integer. After you input the integer, it should ask if you want to input another integer. If you answer y, it should allow you to input a second integer and then output the sum of the two integers you entered. If you answer n or some character other than y, it should output the integer you input before. For example: if you input 4, answer y and then input 3, it should output 7 if you input 4 and answer n, it should output 4arrow_forward
- Write a program that simulates the rolling of two dice. The program should use rand twice to roll the first die and second die, respectively. The sum of the two values should then be calculated. [Note: Because each die can show an integer value from 1 to 6, then the sum of the two values will vary from 2 to 12, with 7 being the most frequent sum and 2 and 12 the least frequent sums.] Figure below shows the 36 possible combinations of the two dice. Your program should roll the two dice 36,000 times Use a one- dimensional array to tally the numbers of times each possible sum appears. Print the results in a tabular format. Also, determine if the totals are reasonable; i.e., there are six ways to roll a 7, so approximately one-sixth of all the rolls should be 7. 5 3 4. 56 7 2 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 56 7 8 9 5 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 6 7 8 9 10 11 12arrow_forwardA bullet train slows from a speed of 200 mi/hr to 150 mi/hr in one minute. Write a computer program that calculates the bullet train’s constant rate of acceleration and determines how long the bullet train will take to come to rest, given an initial speed of 200 mi/hr. (Hint: Use the equation a = vf - vi t where a is acceleration, t is time interval, vi is initial velocity, and vf is final velocity.) Write and call a function that displays instructions to the program user and a function that computes a, given t, vf, and vi. using c programming languagearrow_forwardIn this homework assignment, you are going to code a java program which uses random numbers to create a guessing game. This will give you practice with random numbers and loops while allowing you to explore and understand a little more Java code. You will also need to test out this program to ensure the correctness of the algorithm and code. You will need to develop test data that will represent all possible kinds of data that the user may enter. You are going to write a program that allows the user to play a simple guessing game in which your program thinks up an integer between 1 and 100 and allows the user to make guesses until the user gets it right. (The program also counts how many tries it took to get the correct number). For each incorrect guess you will tell the user whether the right answer is higher or lower. Your program is required to exactly reproduce the format and behavior of the log of execution. Program should output: (Sample user output written in bold) This program…arrow_forward
