There should be an equal chance for any one of the eight responses to come up. The program should ask the user if he or she would like to repeat the program and loop if the user opts to repeat. Random number generation is discussed in Chapter 6, but for this program you can use the following line of code to generate a random number between 1 and 8:
int num = (int) (Math.random() * 8) + 1;

Write a program that will allow a student to enter their name and then ask them to solve 10 mathematical equations. The program should display two random numbers that are to be added, such as:
247
+ 129
The program should allow the student to enter the answer. The program should then display whether their answer was right or wrong, and accumulate the right values. After the 10 questions are asked, calculate the average that was correct. Then display the student name, the number correct, and the average correct in both decimal and percentage format.
In addition to any system functions you may use, you might consider the following functions:
A function that allows the student to enter their name.
A function that gets two random numbers, anywhere from 1 to 500.
A function that displays the equation and asks the user to enter their answer.
A function that checks to see if the answer is correct and accumulates the number correct.
A function that calculates the…
Write a program that plays a simple dice game between the computer and the user. When the program runs, a loop should repeat 5 times. Each iteration of the loop should do the following:
Generate a random integer in the range of 1 through 6. This is the value of the computer’s die.
Ask from user an integer in the range of 1 through 6. This is the value of the user’s die.
The die with the highest value wins. (In case of a tie, there is no winner for that particular roll of the dice.)
You need to validate the input if it’s correct or not. As the loop iterates, the program should keep count of the number of times the computer wins, and the number of times that the user wins. After the loop performs all of its iterations, the program should display who was the grand winner, the computer or the user.
Write a program that helps a company manage salaries of its employees. Your
program should ask for the number of hours worked and the hourly rate of an
employee than, display the salary.
This program should allow the user to enter the information of many employees
until enters -1.
Sample Run:
Enter the number of hours worked (-1 to end): 32
Enter hourly rate of the worker: 100
Balary is 03200
Enter the number of hours Worked (-1 to end) : 40
Enter hourly rate of the worker: 5
Balary is 3200
Enter the number of hours worked (-1 to end): 42
Enter hourly rate of the worker: 10
Salary is 0420
Enter the number of hours worked (-1 to end) : -1

- f. A laborant in a laboratory does a number of antigen tests in one day. Write a program that simulates the number of antigen tests done in a day in a laboratory, displays the number of positives and negatives, and calculates the % of positives in one day. Your program needs to first generate a random number that will show the number of tests done in a day. One laboratory in a day cannot do more than 100 tests and less than 1 (they do at least one). Then for each of the tests, your program needs to generate a random number to show whether they are positive or negative. In order to write this program, you need to have the following three functions used by the main function: test result (void): This function generates a test result. It should randomly return either one or zero. 1 means positive test result and 0 means negative test result. float positive percentage (int,int) : This function takes the total number of positives and the total number of tests and returns the % of positives.…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_forwardIn python, a) In the Hi-Lo game, the player begins with a score of 1000. The player is prompted for the number of points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either High or Low. The player’s choice of either High or Low is compared to a random number between 1 and 13, inclusive. If the number is between 1 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered “low”. A number between 8 and 13 inclusive is “high”. The number 7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had guessed correctly, the points at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong choice, the player loses the points at risk. Create a HiLo application based on this specification. Application output should look similar to b) Modify the application to allow the player to continue until there are 0 points left. At the end of the game, display the number of guesses the user took before running out of points.arrow_forward

The player inputs his/her guess, and the program shall respond with "Try higher", "Try lower" or "You got it in n trials" accordingly.arrow_forwardWrite a program that generates a random integer N between 0 and 20 (included). Then it will ask the user continuously to enter a value V between O and 20. • If the V is equal to N the program displays "you win!!" and ends • If the difference between V and N is equal or greater than 12 the program dispiays "Very Cold" • If the difference between V and N is less than 12 and equal or greater than 6 the program displays "Cold" • If the difference between V and N is less than 6 and equal or greater than 3 the program displays "Hot" • if the difference between V and N is less than 3 the program displays "Very hot" The program ends if the user guess the correct number or if he enters 10 wrong numbers. If the user enters 10 wrong numbers the program displays "You lost" and the correct number. Hint: To compute the difference between V and N use Math.abs(V-N) Using java Runi Enter a number between 0 and 20:5 Very hot Enter a number between 0 and 20: 10 Run2 Enter a number between O and 20: 15…arrow_forwardFor My Java class, this being my first programming class, I have been asked to complete the following to learn Loops.

First, the program should ask if the patient was admitted as an in-patient or an out-patient. If the patient was an in-patient the following data should be entered: • The number of days spent in the hospital• The daily rate• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.If the patient was an out-patient the following data should be entered:• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.Use a single, separate function to validate that no input is less than zero. If it is, it should be re-entered before being returned.Once the required data has been input and validated, the program should use two overloaded functions to calculate the total charges. One of the functions should accept arguments for the in-patient data, while the other function accepts arguments for out- patient data. Both functions should return the total charges.arrow_forwardThe user must be able to enter the information for a number of bookings from the keyboard. Ask whether a booking must be made (Y or N).
