Chapter 4.5, Problem 22STE
The following function is supposed to take as arguments a length expressed in feet and inches and return the total number of inches in that many feet and inches. For example, total_inches(1,2) is supposed to return 14, because 1 foot and 2 inches is the same as 14 inches. Will the following function perform correctly? If not, why not?
double total_inches(int feet, int inches)
{
inches = 12 * feet + inches;
return inches;
}

Given the codes below:
int compute(int firstValue, int secondValue){
int result=0;
result = firstValue + secondValue;
return result;
}
Which statement/s is/are correct?
The type int of compute() function CAN'T be replace by void
otherwise, you will be getting an error.
The compute function can return any data type value.
The compute function can return int value.
The correct function call for compute function is:
compute(10,0);
The correct function call for compute function is:
compute(10.0);
The compute function can accept any number of parameters as
long as they are type of int.
The return statement in compute function can be omitted
without getting any error.
The compute function can only accept two parameters of type
int.

The function below does not work as expected: If sales is a negative number is returns 3 instead of returning 0.
Please help me correct it.

- An automated donation machine accepts donations via 10 or 20 bills to a maximum of $990. The machine needs to print a receipt with the donation amount in English, rather than numerically. Complete the following function which converts any number between 10 to 990 dollars to English.NOTE: You may define and use another function if necessary.NOTE: You should use arrays for this task. Use of switch statements or very long if/else if statements for printing is not allowed. However, using if/else if/else statements for the logic of your algorithm is permitted.NOTE: This function returns the result, and does not print it. Make sure the result is not lost when you return. Example function input and output (donation is 110):Input: 110Output: “one hundred ten dollars” string convertToEnglish (int donation); in C++ #include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std; string convertToEnglish (int donation); int main() {int donation;cin>>donation;…arrow_forwardThe following formula can be used to determine the distance an object falls due to gravity in a specific time period: d = 1⁄2 gt2The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the time in seconds that the object has been falling. Write a function named fallingDistance that accepts an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a program that demonstrates the function by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments and displays the return value.arrow_forwardWhat is the return value of the given function below when the data passed to it is 4? int function(int x) { int y; } y=x++; return y; Select one: O a. 6 O b. 7 O c. 5 O d. 4arrow_forward

- Problem 2: Write a function called digitMatch. The function has three integer parameters first , second and third that are positive and have the same number of digits. It returns the number of positions where their digits match. For example, if the function was applied to 17345, 97813 and 17313 it would return 1 because only the 2nd digits match. If parameters have illegal values your function can operate however you choose. For example, a program that uses the function follows. int main() { cout <« digitMatch(168, 567, 767) « endl; // prints 1 cout <« digitMatch(143, 243, 343) « endl; // prints 2 return 0; }arrow_forwardthat takes 3 integers as an input from the user and display them in ascending order (slai y ). For example, if the input is 2, 3 and 1, this program should display 1, 2 and Write program a 3.
