Exercise 6:
Write a program that reads from the user three pieces of information: The current population of a country, the annual birth
rate of the country, and its annual death rate. The program should then calculate the expected population for the following
year and display the results as shown in Figure 6.
Please note that population for the following year is calculated as sum of the current population, and the number of births
by the end of the year minus the number of deaths by the end of the same year.
Name your program Lab3_Id_ex6.py, where Id is your university Id. Include the design of your solution as comments
at the beginning of your program. Test your solution with different input data.
Please enter the current population of the country: 1800000
Please enter the birth rate: 0.017
Please enter the death rate: 0.005

Write a wholly creative quiz program that consists of three original questions that you make up according to these specifications:
One question should require user input of type int
One question should require user input of type float
One should require a string input
The quiz should be scored by using a counter variable that has an initial value of zero and is incremented by one for every correct answer. Provide feedback to the user for each question, and report the total score when the quiz has finished. Example runs not shown. It's a creative exercise.
def main():points = 0states = int(input('How many states in the USA? '))if states == 50:points +=1print('Correct. Good job!')else:print('Sorry, the answer is 50')
points = 0capital = input('What is the capital of England? ')if capital == "London":points+=1print('Correct. Well done.')else:print('Sorry, the answer is London .')

Problem:
A small company needs an interactive program to compute an employee’s paycheck. The payroll clerk will initially input the data, and given the input data, an employee's wage for the week should be displayed on the screen for the payroll check.
The data for the employee includes the employee's hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked that week. Wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked (up to 40 hours). If the employee worked more than 40 hours, wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times 40 hours plus 1½ times the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked above 40.
Instructions:
Match the action at the left-side with the correct step number at the right-side (the attached picture). Note that it may be possible to group more than one related actions in the same logical step / process without altering the essence of the algorithm.
In the program flow, input and checking of hourly pay rate should come before that of the number…

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_forward
- Airline 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.
