Chapter 10, Problem 9PE
Lowest and Highest Gas Prices
Assume that you have a file that contains the weekly average prices for a gallon of gas in the United States for the past 3 years. The data is stored in the file as records. Each record contains the average price of a gallon of gas on a specific date. Each record contains the following fields:
- The month, stored as an integer. January= 1, February= 2, etc.
- The day of the month, stored as an integer.
- The year, stored as an integer.
- The average price of a gallon of gas on the specified date, stored as a real number, rounded to 3 decimal places.

Pendant Publishing edits multi-volume manuscripts for many authors. For each volume, they want a label that contains the author’s name, the title of the work, and a volume number in the form Volume 9 of 9. For example, a set of three volumes requires three labels: Volume 1 of 3, Volume 2 of 3, and Volume 3 of 3. Design an application that reads records that contain an author’s name, the title of the work, and the number of volumes. The application must read the records until eof is encountered and produce enough labels for each work. The flowchart must include a call symbol, at the beginning, to redirect the input to the external data file.

C# According to the following statement, __.Random rn = new Random();
Question 1 options:
It declares a variable named rn that can be used to reference an object of the Random type.
The new operator creates an object in memory and returns a reference to that object.
The = operator assigns the reference that was returned from the new operator to the rn object.
All of the above.

- In this exercise, you modify the Grade Calculator application from this chapter’s Apply lesson. Use Windows to make a copy of the Grade Solution folder. Rename the copy Grade Solution-Intermediate. Open the Grade Solution.sln file contained in the Grade Solution-Intermediate folder. Open the CourseGrade.vb file. The DetermineGrade method should accept an integer that represents the total number of points that can be earned in the course. (Currently, the total number of points is 200: 100 points per test.) For an A grade, the student must earn at least 90% of the total points. For a B, C, and D grade, the student must earn at least 80%, 70%, and 60%, respectively. If the student earns less than 60% of the total points, the grade is F. Make the appropriate modifications to the DetermineGrade method and then save the solution. Unlock the controls on the form. Add a label control and a text box to the form. Change the label control’s Text property to “&Maximum points:” (without the quotation marks). Change the text box’s name to txtMax. Lock the controls and then reset the tab order. Open the form’s Code Editor window. The txtMax control should accept only numbers and the Backspace key. Code the appropriate procedure. The grade should be cleared when the user makes a change to the contents of the txtMax control. Code the appropriate procedure. Modify the frmMain_Load procedure so that each list box displays numbers from 0 through 200. Locate the btnDisplay_Click procedure. If the txtMax control does not contain a value, display an appropriate message. The maximum number allowed in the txtMax control should be 400; if the control contains a number that is more than 400, display an appropriate message. The statement that calculates the grade should pass the maximum number of points to the studentGrade object’s DetermineGrade method. Make the necessary modifications to the procedure. Save the solution and then start and test the application.arrow_forwardC++HurdleWords The HurdleWords class is mostly provided to you. HurdleWords is constructed from two files in the data/ folder: ● valid_guesses.txt (all 5 letter guesses considered to be valid words to guess), and ● valid_hurdles.txt (all words that may be selected to be the secret Hurdle.) ● Note: you may edit both text files if you’d like to add custom words to your game. HurdleWords stores all potential valid Hurdles from valid_hurdles.txt into a vector of strings (valid_hurdles_), and all valid guesses from valid_guesses.txt into an unordered set of strings (valid_guesses_). A set is simply a data structure that contains no duplicates and allows for a speedy lookup to check if a given element exists within the set. Because there are over 10,000 valid guesses, we store them in an unordered set to leverage their speediness, as you will need to check if a user-submitted guess is considered valid (i.e. their guess is considered a valid guess in the dictionary).

It will then read the file. Once the data is read, it should create an aircraft and then pass the vehicle to the addAircraft method. It should not allow any duplication of records. Be sure to handle all exceptions. o writeFile()-This method accepts a string that represents the name of the file to be written to and then writes the contents of the array to a file.

The program will also the user to lookup the data for any given Container by number. The % cargo weight is the percentage of the cargo of the gross weight (cargo weight/gross weight), % total is the percentage of the cargo for that container of the total amount of cargo unloaded (cargo weight for the container / total cargo unloaded. Hint: you are expected to use methods for your calculations. The accompanying file has the data for the containers unloaded today. The data includes container number int ship name. String tare weight of the container (empty weight) int the gross weight (container plus the cargo). Int You will need to computer the cargo weight as the gross weight minus the tare weight. If you have issues reading the data with the String, you may remove the String. However, you will lose points.…arrow_forwardBAGGINS Trucking maintains a trip file in which each record contains the following data:DRIVER nameMILES driven on tripHOURS driven on trip Design an application that inputs records from the file (until reaching "eof") and, for each record, displays the DRIVER's name and the average Miles-per-Hours (MPH) for the trip where MPH is calculated by dividing the MILES by the HOURS. The program should also accumulate a GRAND total of the MILES driven. At the end, the program should display the GRAND total of the MILES driven. For example, if the trip file contained the following:Smith, 300, 5Williams, 750, 10Jones, 880, 11 then the program should display:Smith averaged 60 mphWilliams averaged 75 mphJones averaged 80 mphGrand total of miles is 1,930 Pseudocode:arrow_forward

Now, using your code from Chapter 7 Case Study 1, modify your program so every data entry statement uses a TryParse() method to ensure that each piece of data is the correct type. Any invalid user entries should generate an appropriate message that contains the word Invalid, and the user should be required to reenter the data.

Creating Employee Data ( Page 625)Create an application that allows the user to enter the following employee data: First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Employee Number, Department, Telephone Number, Telephone Extension, and E-mail Address. The valid values for department are Accounting, Administration, Marketing, MIS, and Sales. Once the data is entered, the user should be able to save it to a file. Figure 9-30 shows an example of the application’s form. The form shown in Figure 9-30 has a combo box for selecting the department; a Save Record button, which writes the record to a file; a Clear button, which clears the text boxes; and an Exit button. Write code in the Form_Load event handler that allows the user to enter the name of the file. If the file does not exist, a new one will be created.

- Problem Charge Account Validation Create an application that reads the contents of the file into an array or a List . The application should then let the user enter a charge account number. The program should determine whether the number is valid by searching for it in the array or List that contains the valid charge account numbers. If the number is in the array or List , the program should display a message indicating the number is valid. If the number is not in the array or List , the program should display a message indicating the number is invalid.
