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

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.

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…

- 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.

Part 2: Peek-a-boo is a fun game that little kids like to play. To simulate this game on the computer, write a program that will generate a random number between 1 and 4. Then, will print to the screen the animal name associated to that number. The animal names used will be: pig when a 1 is generated cow when a 2 is generated chicken when a 3 is generated horse when a 4 is generated If your program generates a 3, the output will be: chicken The player will then enter a 1 if they would like to play again or anything else to exit the program. If the player enters "1 1 1 0", the output will be: horse chicken cow horse For coding simplicity, follow each output animal by a space, even the last one. Hint: To make testing easier, seed your random number generator with 0.arrow_forwardThe Café Noir Coffee Shop wants some market research on its customers. When a customer places an order, a clerk asks for the customer’s zip code and age. The clerk enters that data as well as the number of items the customer orders. The program operates continuously until the clerk enters a 0 for zip code at the end of the day. When the clerk enters an invalid zip code (more than 5 digits) or an invalid age (defined as less than 10 or more than 110), the program reprompts the clerk continuously. When the clerk enters fewer than 1 or more than 12 items, the program reprompts the clerk two more times. If the clerk enters a high value on the third attempt, the program accepts the high value, but if the clerk enters a negative value onthe third attempt, an error message is displayed and the order is not counted. At the end of the program, display a count of the number of items ordered by customers from the same zip code as the coffee shop (54984), and a count from other zip codes. Also…arrow_forward
- QUESTION 5 This is a MULTIPLE ANSWER question, which means you are able to select one or more answers as being correct. Note that this does not necessarily mean that there are multiple correct answers. In any case, select all the answers you believe are correct. (NB: There are no part marks awarded for multiple answer questions.) Consider the following Python code, where the variables level and threshold have integer values: alarm = 3 if level = threshold: if level < 100: alarm = 1 alarm = 2 What initial values for variables level and threshold guarantee that variable alarm ends up with the value of 2 after the code has executed? When level is 200 and threshold is 99 When level is 4 and threshold is 5 ☐ When level is 200 and threshold is 100 When level is 400 and threshold is 300 When level is 5 and threshold is 4 When level is 3 and threshold is 4 When level is 1 and threshold is 2 O When level is 10 and threshold is 10arrow_forward1. For this problem, you are going to design a game for the children to teach them about numbers. You are going to take numbers as input from the user as long as he has not entered an even number. If enters odd number, ask him again to give input. When he enters an even number, print that the number is even, and you have won. The program should include the following specifications: É) This will go on, until the user gives an even number input F) When you find an even number, print, "You win! is an even number"arrow_forwardThe monthly payment for a givenloan pays the principal and the interest. The monthly interest is computed by multiplyingthe monthly interest rate and the balance (the remaining principal). The principalpaid for the month is therefore the monthly payment minus the monthly interest.Write a program that lets the user enter the loan amount, number of years, and interestrate then displays the amortization schedule for the loan.

O True O Falsearrow_forwardYou are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculatesthe cost of lumber for an order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber.Lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. Theprice per board foot is given in the following table: (image 1) The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet oflength) that need to be converted to board feet. For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which whendivided by 12 = 5.333 board feet). An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and fourinteger numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length. The letter willbe one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When theletter is T, there are no integers following it on the line. The program…arrow_forward8.

- Given the sample code above in generating a random number. Create a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows. 1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don't display the computer's choice yet.) 2. The user enters his or her choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors" at the keyboard. (You can use a menu if you prefer.) 13. The computer's choice is displayed. 4. A winner is selected according to the following rules: a. If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.) b. If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissor wins. (Scissors cuts paper.) c.

You will then compute the following: birth rate death rate growth rate the predicted future population Assignment Notes: To allow the user to input the numeric data (such as current population) it is necessary to use the input function. The input function takes a string in parenthesis that prompts the user what to enter. The computer then waits until the user types a response, terminated by the user typing the Enter key. A string, as a sequence of characters, is returned to the variable on the lefthand side of the assignment statement. For example: currPopulation = input(“Enter the current US population”) The data in currPopulation is a string (because that is what the input statement does) but we need it to be a number…arrow_forward
