Chapter 4, Problem 6PP
Write a program that asks the user to enter the size of a triangle (an integer from 1 to 50). Display the triangle by writing lines of asterisks. The first line will have one asterisk, the next two, and so on. with each line having one more asterisk than the previous line, up to the number entered by the user. On the next line write one fewer asterisk and continue by decreasing the number of asterisks by 1 for each successive line until only one asterisk is displayed. (Hint: Use nested for loops; the outside loop controls the number of lines to write, and the inside loop controls the number of asterisks to display on a line.) For example, if the user enters 3, the output would be

Write a program that generates a random number in the range from 1 through 100
After generating the random number, the user is to guess the number. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high, try again”
If user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low, try again”.
If the user guesses the number, the program should congratulate the user and then generate a NEW random number so the game can start over.

java Write a program that prompts the user to enter a point (x, y) and checks whether the point is within the rectangle centered at (0, 0) with width 10 and height 5. For example, (2, 2) is inside the rectangle and (6, 4) is outside the rectangle, as shown in the Figure.
(Hint: A point is in the rectangle if its horizontal distance to (0, 0) is less than or equal to 10 / 2 and its vertical distance to (0, 0) is less than or equal to 5 / 2.)
Here are sample runs of the program:
Sample 1:
Enter a point with two coordinates: 2 2
Point (2.0, 2.0) is in the rectangle
Sample 2:
Enter a point with two coordinates: 6 4
Point (6.0, 4.0) is not in the rectangle
Analysis:
(Describe the problem including input and output in your own words.)
Design:
(Describe the major steps for solving the problem.)
Coding: (Go over your code step by step)
Testing: (Describe how you test this program). In other words run your code with sample outputs.
Write a program that asks the user to enter the coordinates of 4 points that draw
two different lines. The program has to display whether these two lines are parallel,
perpendicular, or neither according to the following formula:
Slope = 22-y1
x2-x1
If the slopes of both lines are equal, the two lines are parallel
If the product of both slopes is equal to -1, the 2 lines are perpendicular.
Otherwise, the two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Sample Run
Enter the 4 coordinates of first line: 5.7 8.9 7 7.8
Enter the 4 coordinates of second line: 5.7 7.6 3.5 8.9
The two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular

If the character is 'c', the program reads from the user the radius rof a circle and prints its area. • If the user enters 'q', the program asks the user to enter the length and width of a quadrilateral. We assume the quadrilateral is either a square or rectangle. You should print if the quadrilateral is square or rectangle. • Otherwise, it prints "Wrong character" PS: Use the following formulas: area of circle=3.14*r Sample Run1: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 150 |It is a rectangle Sample Run2: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 80 It is a square Sample Run3: Enter a character (q or c): c Enter the radius: 2 The area of the circle is 12.56 Sample Run4: Enter a character (q or c): d Wrong characterarrow_forward
- Use Python to write a program that asks the user to enter a pocket number and displays whether the pocket is green, red, or black. The program should display an error message if the user enters a number that is outside the range of 0 through 56. On a roulette wheel, the pockets are numbered from 0 to 36. The colors of the pockets are as follows: Pocket 0 is green. For pockets 1 through 20, the odd-numbered pockets are red and the even-numbered pockets are black. For pockets 21 through 38, the odd-numbered pockets are black and the even-numbered pockets are red. For pockets 39 through 48, the odd-numbered pockets are red and the even-numbered pockets are black. For pockets 49 through 56, the odd-numbered pockets are black and the even-numbered pockets are red.arrow_forwardWrite a program that lets the user guess whether a randomly generated integer would be even or odd. The program randomly generates an inte- ger and divides it by 2. The integer is even if the remainder is 0, otherwise odd. The program prompts the user to enter a guess and reports whether the guess is correct or incorrect.arrow_forwardWrite a program that generates a random number in the range of 1 through 1000, and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user guess is higher than the random number, the program should display Too high, try again. If the users guess is lower than the random number, the program should display Too low, try again. If the user guesses the number, the application should congratulate the user and generate a new random number so the game can start over. If the user doesn't want to continue the game the user should type an appropriate stop symbol to terminate the program (such stop conditions were discussed in the class). For each game iteration, count the number of guesses made by the user and display them. The program should contain the following functions: check_guess(): this function checks if the user's guess is lower, higher or equal to the random number. random_gen(): function that generates one random number for one game iteration main(): the function where the program…arrow_forward

For example, the telephine number 438-5626 can be shown as GET-LOAN. In some cases, to make a telephone number meaningful, compaines might use more than seven letters. For example, 225-5466, can be displayed as CALL-HOME, whic uses eight letters. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a telephone number expressesd in letters and outputs the corresponding telephone number in digits. If the user enters more than seven letter, then process only the first seven letters. Also, output the -(hyphen) after the third digit. Allow the user to use uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as spaces between words. Moreover, your program should proces as many telephone as the user wants. (Hint: You can read the entered telephine number as a string and then use the charAt() to extract each character.)arrow_forwardwrite a program that asks the user for the length and width of a rectangle, the program should calculate and display the rectangle’s perimeter (2 x length) + (2 x width) and width (length x width).
