Question

Transcribed Image Text:One lap around a standard high-school running track is exactly 0.25 miles. Define a function named LapsToMiles that takes a double as a
parameter, representing the number of laps, and returns a double that represents the number of miles. Then, write a main program that
takes a number of laps as an input, calls function LapsToMiles() to calculate the number of miles, and outputs the number of miles.
Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
printf("%0.21f\n", yourValue);
Ex: If the input is:
7.6
the output is:
1.90
Ex: If the input is:
2.2
the output is:
0.55
The program must define and call a function:
double LapsToMiles (double userLaps)

- (Numerical) Using the srand() and rand() C++ library functions, fill an array of 1000 floating-point numbers with random numbers that have been scaled to the range 1 to 100. Then determine and display the number of random numbers having values between 1 and 50 and the number having values greater than 50. What do you expect the output counts to be?arrow_forward(Numerical) Heron’s formula for the area, A, of a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c is A=s(sa)(sb)(sc) where s=(a+b+c)2 Write, test, and execute a function that accepts the values of a, b, and c as parameters from a calling function, and then calculates the values of sand[s(sa)(sb)(sc)]. If this quantity is positive, the function calculates A. If the quantity is negative, a, b, and c do not form a triangle, and the function should set A=1. The value of A should be returned by the function.arrow_forwardWrite a program that takes as input five numbers and outputs the mean (average) and standard deviation of the numbers. If the numbers are x1,x2,x3,x4,andx5, then the mean is x=(x1+x2+x3+x4+x5)/5 and the standard deviation is: s=(x1x)2+(x2x)2+(x3x)2+(x4x2)+(x5x2)5 Your program must contain at least the following functions: a function that calculates and returns the mean and a function that calculates the standard deviation.arrow_forward
- Write the definition of a function that takes as input two decimal numbers and returns first number to the power of the second number plus second number to the power of the first number. (4)arrow_forwardMark the following statements as true or false: a. To use a predefined function in a program, you need to know only the name of the function and how to use it. (1) b. A value-returning function returns only one value. (2, 3) c. Parameters allow you to use different values each time the function is called. (2, 7, 9) d. When a return statement executes in a user-defined function, the function immediately exits. (3, 4) e. A value-returning function returns only integer values. (4) f. A variable name cannot be passed to a value parameter. (3, 6) g. If a C++ function does not use parameters, parentheses around the empty parameter list are still required. (2, 3, 6) h. In C + + , the names of the corresponding formal and actual parameters must be the same. (3, 4, 6) i. A function that changes the value of a reference parameter also changes the value of the actual parameter. (7) j. Whenever the value of a reference parameter changes, the value of the actual parameter changes. (7) k. In C++, function definitions can be nested; that is, the definition of one function can be enclosed in the body of another function. (9) l. Using global variables in a program is a better programming style than using local variables, because extra variables can be avoided. (10) m. In a program, global constants are as dangerous as global variables. (10) n. The memory for a static variable remains allocated between function calls. (11)arrow_forward(Modify) a. Modify the program you wrote for Exercise 7 to provide the mass of a person as an output, given his or her weight as an input to the program. Use your program to determine the mass of a person who weighs 140 lbf on Earth. b. Modify the program written for Exercise 7a to also output the person’s weight on Mars and the moon. The pull of gravity on Mars is 12.54ft/sec2=3.728m/s2,andonthemoonis5.33ft/sec2=1.625m/s2.arrow_forward
- (Statics) A beam’s second moment of inertia, also known as its area moment of inertia, is used to determine its resistance to bending and deflection. For a rectangular beam (see Figure 6.6), the second moment of inertia is given by this formula: Ibh3/12 I is the second moment of inertia (m4). b is the base (m). h is the height (m). a. Using this formula, write a function called beamMoment() that accepts two double- precision numbers as parameters (one for the base and one for the height), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result. b. Include the function written in Exercise 4a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.arrow_forward4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forward17.
