When should you define a separate function for part of a program? List reasons.
Write a program where you first enter a set of name-and-value pairs, such as Joe 17 and Barbara 22. For each pair, add the name to a vector called names and the number to a vector called scores (in corresponding positions, so that if names[7]=="Joe" then scores[7]==17). Terminate input with NoName
Describe what the line char foo(int x) means in a function definition.
Write a program to solve quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is of the formax2 + bx + c = 0If you don’t know the quadratic formula for solving such an expression, do some research. Remember, researching how to solve a problem is often necessary before a programmer can teach the computer how
How do you print the numeric value of a char?
Write a program that finds the min, max, and mode of a sequence of strings.
When should the for-loop be used and when should the while-loop be used?
In the drill, you wrote a program that, given a series of numbers, found the max and min of that series. The number that appears the most times in a sequence is called the mode. Create a program that finds the mode of a set of positive integers.
What is the function of each part of the header line in a for-loop, and in what sequence are they executed?
Write a program that takes an input value n and then finds the first n primes.
What are some common problems with switch-statements?

When would a programmer prefer a switch-statement to an if-statement?
Create a program to find all the prime numbers between 1 and 100. There is a classic method for doing this, called the “Sieve of Eratosthenes.” If you don’t know that method, get on the web and look it up. Write your program using this method.

Modify the program described in the previous exercise to take an input value max and then find all prime numbers from 1 to max.Data from Previous ExerciseCreate a program to find all the prime numbers between 1 and 100. One way to do this is to write a function that will check if a number is prime
What operators can be used on integers but not on floating-point numbers?
Create a program to find all the prime numbers between 1 and 100. One way to do this is to write a function that will check if a number is prime (i.e., see if the number can be divided by a prime number smaller than itself) using a vector of primes in order (so that if the vector is called primes,
What are some operators that we can use for integers and floating-point values?
Write a program that plays the game “Rock, Paper, Scissors.” If you are not familiar with the game do some research (e.g., on the web using Google). Research is a common task for programmers. Use a switch-statement to solve this exercise. Also, the machine should give random answers (i.e.,
What is a magic constant? Give examples.
Try to calculate the number of rice grains that the inventor asked for in exercise 8 above. You’ll find that the number is so large that it won’t fit in an int or a double. Observe what happens when the number gets too large to represent exactly as an int and as a double. What is the largest
What is a symbolic constant and why do we use them?
There is an old story that the emperor wanted to thank the inventor of the game of chess and asked the inventor to name his reward. The inventor asked for one grain of rice for the first square, 2 for the second, 4 for the third, and so on, doubling for each of the 64 squares. That may sound
What is a literal?
Modify the “mini calculator” from exercise 5 to accept (just) single-digit numbers written as either digits or spelled out.Data from Exercise 5Write a program that performs as a very simple calculator. Your calculator should be able to handle the four basic math operations — add, subtract,
What is a constant expression?
Make a vector holding the ten string values "zero", "one", . . . "nine". Use that in a program that converts a digit to its corresponding spelled-out value; e.g., the input 7 gives the output seven. Have the same program, using the same input loop, convert spelled-out numbers into their digit form;
What is an lvalue? List the operators that require an lvalue. Why do these operators, and not the others, require an lvalue?
Write a program that performs as a very simple calculator. Your calculator should be able to handle the four basic math operations — add, subtract, multiply, and divide — on two input values. Your program should prompt the user to enter three arguments: two double values and a character to
What is the difference between a statement and an expression, as described in this chapter?
Write a program to play a numbers guessing game. The user thinks of a number between 1 and 100 and your program asks questions to figure out what the number is (e.g., “Is the number you are thinking of less than 50?”). Your program should be able to identify the number after asking no more than
What does an expression do?
Read a sequence of double values into a vector. Think of each value as the distance between two cities along a given route. Compute and print the total distance (the sum of all distances). Find and print the smallest and greatest distance between two neighboring cities. Find and print the mean
What are the three requirements a programmer should keep in mind when expressing computations?
If we define the median of a sequence as “a number so that exactly as many elements come before it in the sequence as come after it,” fix the program in §4.6.3 so that it always prints out a median. Hint: A median need not be an element of the sequence.
What do we mean by inputs and outputs to a computation? Give examples.
From a philosophical point of view, you can now do everything that can be done using a computer — the rest is details! Among other things, this shows the value of “details” and the importance of practical skills, because clearly you have barely started as a programmer. But we are serious. The

Write a program that takes an operation followed by two operands and outputs the result. For example:+ 100 3.14* 4 5Read the operation into a string called operation and use an if-statement to figure out which operation the user wants, for example, if (operation=="+"). Read the operands into
What kinds of literals are there?
What is a literal?
Write a program that converts spelled-out numbers such as “zero” and “two” into digits, such as 0 and 2. When the user inputs a number, the program should print out the corresponding digit. Do it for the values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 and write out not a number I know if the user enters something
Write a program to test an integer value to determine if it is odd or even. As always, make sure your output is clear and complete. In other words, don’t just output yes or no. Your output should stand alone, like The value 4 is an even number. Hint: See the remainder (modulo) operator in §3.4.
How would you writecout << "Hello, ";cout << fi rst_name;cout << "!\n";as a single line of code?
What terminates input into an integer?
Write a program that prompts the user to enter three integer values, and then outputs the values in numerical sequence separated by commas. So, if the user enters the values 10 4 6, the output should be 4, 6, 10. If two values are the same, they should just be ordered together. So, the input 4 5 4
What terminates input into a string?
What is \n called and what purpose does it serve?
Write a program that prompts the user to enter two integer values. Store these values in int variables named val1 and val2. Write your program to determine the smaller, larger, sum, difference, product, and ratio of these values and report them to the user.
If you want the user to input an integer value into your program for a variable named number, what are two lines of code you could write to ask the user to do it and to input the value into your program?
Write a program that doesn’t do anything, but declares a number of variables with legal and illegal names (such as int double = 0;), so that you can see how the compiler reacts.
Which operator do you use to read into a variable?
Write a program in C++ that converts from miles to kilometers. Your program should have a reasonable prompt for the user to enter a number of miles. Hint: There are 1.609 kilometers to the mile.

What is meant by the term prompt?
Please don’t underestimate the importance of the notion of type safety. Types are at the center of most notions of correct programs, and some of the most effective techniques for constructing programs rely on the design and use of types — as you’ll see in Chapters 6 and 9, Parts II, III, and
