Body Mass Index Program Enhancement
In
BMI = weight × 703/height2
In the formula, weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. Enhance the program so it displays a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight. A sedentary person’s weight is considered to be optimal if his or her BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is considered to be underweight. If the BMI value is greater than 25, the person is considered to be overweight.

Financial Assistance Application
Create the Financial Assistance Application. A non-governmental organization
needs your application to calculate the amount of financial assistance for needy
families. The formula is as follows:
• If the annual household income is between $30,000 and $40,000 and the house-
hold has at least three children, the amount is $1,000 per child.
• If the annual household income is between $20,000 and $30,000 and the house-
hold has at least two children, the amount is $1,500 per child.
• If the annual household income is less than $20,000, the amount is $2,000 per
child.
Implement a function for this computation. The program asks for the household
income and number of children for each applicant, printing the amount returned
by your function. Use -1 as a sentinel value for the input. The program output
should be formatted as shown in the Sample Run.
Note: You must use at least one function in your code.
Paint Job Estimator A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, 1 gallon of paint and 8 hours of labor will be required. The company charges $20.00 per hour for labor. Create an application that allows the user to enter the square feet of wall space to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. The program should display the following data: • The number of gallons of paint required • The hours of labor required • The cost of the paint • The labor charges • The total cost of the paint job
GPA Calculator
Students are concerned about their GPA. They need to calculate it accurately every
semester to monitor their progress. Develop a GPA calculator that follows the AOU
regulations (AOU-OU Grade Scale) using C# programming language. The application asks the
student to enter his numeric grade of each course and the course's credit hours.
Accordingly, the application calculates the student's GPA after converting the numeric
grade to letter grade. The GPA calculation should produce floating-point results. Display
the results rounded to the nearest hundredth. You should store the letter grades of all
student's courses in an array. The final grade of the student should be also calculated.
Sample I/O
Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 93
Enter the course credit hours: 3
Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 74
Enter the course credit hours: 2
Enter the course grade (-1 to end): 60
Enter the course credit hours: 3

Because Reza frequently mistypes long ticket numbers, Reza Enterprises has asked his students to write an application that shows if a ticket is invalid. Your application/program tells the ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you lose the last digit of the number, then divide by 7, the remainder of the division is exactly the same to the last dropped digit. This process is shown below: Step 1: Enter the ticket number; for example 123454 Step 2: Remove the last digit, leaving 12345 Step 3: Determine the remainder when the ticket number from step 2 is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4: Display a message to the ticket agent indicating whether the ticket number is valid or not. If the ticket number is valid, save the number to a .txt file called “tickets.txt” and.arrow_forwardPYTHON programming solotion Develop a program that allows the user to enter a start value of 1 to 4, a stop value of 5 to 12 and a multiplier of 2 to 8.

- C# Language You are tasked with writing a program to process students’ end of semester marks. For each student you must enter into your program the student’s id number (an integer), followed by their mark (an integer out of 100) in 4 courses. A student number of 0 indicates the end of the data. A student moves on to the next semester if the average of their 4 courses is at least 60 (greater than or equal to 60). Write a program to read the data and print, for each student: The student number, the marks obtained in each course, final mark of the student (average of all the marks), their final grade (A,B,C,D or F) and whether or not they move on to the next semester. In addition, after all data entry is completed, print The number of students who move on to the next semester and the number who do not.

The inclusion of the digit in an account number helps ascertain whether the number is a valid one. Write an application named CheckDigit that asks a user to enter a four-digit account number and determines whether it is a valid number. The number is valid if the fourth digit is the remainder when the number represented by the first three digits of the four-digit number is divided by 7. For example, 7770 is valid, because 0 is the remainder when 777 is divided by 7. If the account number is valid, output The account number is valid. If the account number is invalid output Invalid. If the account number is too short or too long output Account number invalid - it must have 4 digits.arrow_forward
- Carpet Calculator The Westfield Carpet Company has asked you to write an application that calculates the price of carpeting for rectangular rooms. To calculate the price, you multiply the area of the floor (width times length) by the price per square foot of carpet. For example, the area of floor that is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide is 120 square feet. To cover that floor with carpet that costs $8 per square foot would cost $960. First, you should create a class named RoomDimension that has two fields: one for the length of the room and one for the width. The RoomDimension class should have a method that returns the area of the room. (The area of the room is the room’s length multiplied by the room’s width.) Next you should create a RoomCarpet class that has a RoomDimension object as a field. It should also have a field for the cost of the carpet per square foot. The RoomCarpet class should have a method that returns the total cost of the carpet.

The theater has two rows of five seats each. Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved. Please enter a row: 1 Available seats: A B C D E Which seat, enter Q for none?: B You have booked seat: 1B…arrow_forward
