A regular polygon is an n-sided polygon in which all sides are of the same length and all angles have the same degree (i.e., the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular). The formula for computing the area of a regular polygon is
Area = ( n * s2 ) / (4 * tan( π/n)
Here, s is the length of a side. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of sides and their length of a regular polygon and displays its area.
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

- You have been asked to write a program to play rock-paper-scissors. Your program will ask the user to input a number 0, 1, or 2 to denote rock, paper, and scissors respectively. Your program will then randomly generate a number 0, 1, or 2 to denote the computer’s hand. The rules for the game are: •A scissor can cut paper. •A rock can knock a scissor. •A piece of paper can wrap a rock. Let the game run continuously until either the user or the computer wins 3 times, displaying the outcome of each hand. At the end of the game, display a message indicating whether the user or the computer wins Helpful Hint: import random player2= random.randint(0, 2)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. Geri bildirim gönderarrow_forwardWrite an algorithm in pseudocode for the following problem: Write a program that reads a series of daily high temperatures from the keyboard and then prints to the screen the number of days that each high was achieved. Assume that the temperatures will fall between -40 and 110, inclusive. You'll print the temperature and then the number of days for each temperature that was the high at least once. So your output will be in two columns. The key to this is that you'll have an array where the indices of the array represent the temperatures and the contents are the number of days where that temperature was the high.arrow_forward
- Suppose two line segments intersect. The two endpoints for the first line segment are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and for the second line segment are (x3, y3) and (x4, y4). Write a program that prompts the user to enter these four endpoints and displays the intersecting point. As discussed in Programming Exercise 3.250, the intersecting point can be found by solving a linear equation. Use the LinearEquation class in Programming Exercise 9.11 to solve this equation.arrow_forwardJerry Feingold wants a program that will help him calculate the amount to tip a waiter at a restaurant. The program should subtract any liquor charge from the total bill and then calculate the tip (using a percentage) on the remainder. Finally, the program should display the tip on the screen. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using $85 as the total bill, $20 as the liquor charge, and 20% as the tip percentage. Then desk-check it using $35 as the total bill, $0 as the liquor charge, and 15% as the tip percentage.arrow_forwardCreate the algorithm for the following problem: A company is giving out bonus to the employees relative to the number of years worked. For example, if the person is employed for 1 year or less, bonus is 1%, 2 years is 2%, 3 years is 3% and so on. Your program will calculate the bonus by asking user for annual salary and number of years worked. Calculate and display the bonus amount. Hint: bonus rate = numofyears/100arrow_forward
- Wilma Peterson is paid by the hour. She would like a program that calculates and displays her weekly gross pay. For this exercise, you do not need to worry about overtime pay, as Wilma never works more than 40 hours in a week. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using $10 as the hourly pay and 35 as the number of hours worked; then desk-check it using $15 and 25.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_forwardThe equation of a straight line is written as y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the value of y when x = 0. If there are two coordinate points of the line are given, then it is very easy to compute the line equation. Also you can find the distance between two points. Problem: Write a program to compute lines equation for a set of lines. The number of lines is read from the user. Each line is computed by generating two points randomly using Point2D API. In addition, distance between two points is computed. The program should display a table which include all information about each line. See sample runs below. Take into consideration: 1. Number of generated lines should be greater than zero. 2. Two point objects are constructed only once. Then just update the location of two points for each line using Point2D API methods. 3. x and y values of each point are generated randomly to be less than 100 and greater than 0. 4. Compute the distance between two points using…arrow_forward
- 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 to get an integer input from the user. If the input is 25, take the length and breadth from the user and calculate the area of rectangle. [ Area of rectangle = length * breadth ] If the input is 40, get the side from the user and calculate the area of square. [ Area of square = side * side ] If the input is 65, get the radius from the user and calculate the area of circle. [ Area of circle = 3.14*r*r] Otherwise Display " Enter number 25 or 40 or 65 ".arrow_forwardYour team was asked to program a self-driving car that reaches its destination with minimum travel time.
