C++ Primer Plus (Six Edition) Chapter 2, Programming Exercises

Q1.Write a C++ program that displays your name and address (or if you value your privacy, a fictitious name and address).

A:

//information.cpp -- my name and address
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    cout << "My name is Lowdin, " << endl;
    cout << "and my address is Puzi Village, Guandu District, Kunming, China." << endl;
    return 0;
}

Q2.Write a C++ program that asks for a distance in furlongs and converts it to yards. (One furlong is 220 yards.)

A:

// distance.cpp -- convert furlong(s) to yards
#include <iostream>
double furfunc(double);      //function prototype
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    double furlongs;
    cout << "Enter the distance in furlong(s): ";
    cin >> furlongs;
    double yards = furfunc(furlongs);
    cout << furlongs << " furlong(s) is ";
    cout << yards << " yards." << endl;
    return 0;
}


 double furfunc(double times)
 {
     return 220 * times;
 }

Q3.Write a C++ program that uses three user-defined function (counting main() as one) and produces the following output:

     Three blind mice

     Three blind mice

     See how they run

     See how they run

    One function, callde two times, should produce the first two lines, and the remaining function, also called twice, should produce the remaining out put.

A:

// funcall.cpp -- each function is called twice
#include <iostream>
void twotimes();
void twice();
using namespace std;   // You can place this statement in the twotimes and twice
int main()
{
    twotimes();
    twotimes();
    twice();
    twice();
    return 0;
}


void twotimes()
{
    cout << "Three blind mice" << endl;
}


void twice()
{
    cout << "See how they run" << endl;
}

Q4. Write a program that asks the user to enter his or her age. The program then should display the age in months:

      Enter your age:  29

      Your age in months is 384.

A:

//convert.cpp -- convert age to months
#include <iostream>
int ages(int);
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    int age;
    cout << "Enter your age: ";
    cin >> age;
    int months = ages(age);
    cout << "Your age in months is ";
    cout << months << "months." << endl;
    return 0;
}


int ages(int t)             // t means times
{
    return 12 * t;
}

Q5. Write a program that has main() call a user-defined function that takes a Celsius temperature value as an argument and then returns the equivalent Fahrenheit value.

      The program should request the Celsius value as input from the user and display the result, as shown in the following code:

      Please enter a Celsius value:  20

      20 degrees Celsius is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

     

     For reference, here is the formula for making the conversion:

     Fahrenheit = 1.8 X degrees Celsius + 32.o

A:

//formula.cpp -- convert Celsius degrees to Fahrenheit
#include <iostream>
int celfunc(int);
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int celsius;
    cout << "Please enter a Celsius value: ";
    cin >> celsius;
    int fahrenheit = celfunc(celsius);
    cout << celsius << " degrees Celsius is ";
    cout << fahrenheit << " degrees Fahrenheit." << endl;
    return 0;
}


int celfunc(int cel)
{
    return 1.8 * cel + 32.0;
}

Q6. Write a program that has main() call a user-defined function that takes a distance in light years as an argument and then returns the distance in astronmical units.

       The program should request the light year value as input from the user and display the result, as shown in the following code:

        Enter the number of light years: 4.2

       4.2 light years = 265608 astrononical units.

      An astronomical unit is the average distance from the earth to the sun (about 150,000,000 km or 93,000,000 miles), and a light year is the distance light travels in

     a year (about 10 trillion kilometers or 6 trillion miles). (The nearest star after the sun is about 4.2 light years away. ) Use type double (as in Listing 2.4) and this con-

    version factor:

     1 light year = 63240 astronomical units

A:

// conversion.cpp -- convert light years to astronomical units
#include <iostream>
double lyfun(double);   // function prototype of light year
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    double lightyears;
    cout << "Enter the number of light years: ";
    cin >> lightyears;
    double astronomical = lyfun(lightyears);
    cout << lightyears << " light years = ";
    cout << astronomical << " astronomical units." << endl;
    return 0;
}


double lyfun(double t)
{

    return 63240 * t;
}

Q7.  Write a program that asks the user to enter an hour value and a minute value. The main() function should then pass these two values to a type void function the dis-

         plays the two values in the format shown in the following sample run:

         Enter the number of hours: 9

         Enter the number of minute: 28

         Time: 9:28

A:

//time.cpp -- show the time by hours and minutes
#include <iostream>
void time();
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    time();
    return 0;
}


void time()
{
    using namespace std;
    int hours;
    cout << "Enter the number of hours: ";
    cin >> hours;
    int minutes;
    cout << "Enter the number of minutes: ";
    cin >> minutes;
    cout <<"Time: " << hours <<":" << minutes << endl;
}

                                   Note: I'm not sure  whether all the answers are right or not as a beginner.
