Coin Toss
Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads". If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails". Demonstrate the function in a program that sks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and the coin then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.

A particular talent competition has five judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the three remaining scores. Write a program that uses this method to calculate a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:
void getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge's score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges.
void calcScore() should calculate and display the average of the three scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.
The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the…
Domino's Time
Function Name: dominosTime()
Parameters: N/A
Returns: None
Description: During the summer, you ordered a lot of food from Domino's. Pizzas are $12, an
order of pasta is $6, and chicken wings are $8. Write a function that asks the user how many
of each food item they would like, and then print a response telling them what their order to-
tal will be. The order total should be an integer.
>>> dominosTime()
How many pizzas do you want? 3
How many orders of pasta do you want? 2
How many orders of chicken wings do you want? 2
By ordering 3 pizzas, 2 orders of pasta, and 2 orders of chicken wings, your
order total comes to $64.

- (Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like, with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth. (Hint: Calculate the dots showing on each die with the expression dots=(int)(6.0randomnumber+1), where the random number is between 0 and 1.)arrow_forwardUse C Language Airline Reservation System A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated reservations system. The president has asked you to program the new system. You are to write a program to assign seats on each flight of the airline's only plane (capacity: 10 seats). Your program should display the following menu of alternatives: Please type 1 for "first class" Please type 2 for "economy" If the person types 1, then your program should assign a seat in the first class section (seats 1-5). If the person types 2, then your program should assign a seat in the economy section (seats 6-10). Your program should then print a boarding pass indicating the person's seat number and whether it is in the first class or economy section of the plane. Use a single-subscripted array to represent the seating chart of the plane. Initialize all the elements of the array to 0 to indicate that all seats are empty. As each seat is assigned, set the corresponding elements of…arrow_forwardProblem: A small company needs an interactive program to compute an employee’s paycheck. The payroll clerk will initially input the data, and given the input data, an employee's wage for the week should be displayed on the screen for the payroll check. The data for the employee includes the employee's hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked that week. Wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked (up to 40 hours). If the employee worked more than 40 hours, wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times 40 hours plus 1½ times the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked above 40. Instructions: Match the action at the left-side with the correct step number at the right-side (the attached picture). Note that it may be possible to group more than one related actions in the same logical step / process without altering the essence of the algorithm. In the program flow, input and checking of hourly pay rate should come before that of the number…arrow_forward
- FizzBuzz Interview Question Create a function that takes a number as an argument and returns "Fizz", "Buzz" or "FizzBuzz". If the number is a multiple of 3 the output should be "Fizz". If the number given is a multiple of 5, the output should be "Buzz". If the number given is a multiple of both 3 and 5, the output should be "FizzBuzz". If the number is not a multiple of either 3 or 5, the number should be output on its own as shown in the examples below. The output should always be a string even if it is not a multiple of 3 or 5. Examples fizz_buzz (3) "Fizz" fizz_buzz (5) → "Buzz fizz_buzz (15) "FizzBuzz" fizz_buzz (4) "4" 11arrow_forwardUsing C# in Microsoft Visual Studio create an application that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer.

Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved. Please enter a row: 1 Available seats: A B C D E Which seat, enter Q for none?: B You have booked seat: 1B…arrow_forward

At different points in the game, you want the user to select to fight, run, or hide from certain enemies. Modify the application below (week3.py) so that the selection variable is sent as an argument into the choice() function. The user should enter 1 to fight, 2 to run, or 3 to hide in the main(). The choice() function should print one of the three options. You will need to add an if statement in the choice() function to make the correct selection.arrow_forwardMicrowaves / Radio Waves If a scientist knows the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave she can determine what type of radiation it is.

- Number Guessing Game. The program will generate a random number from 1 to 1000. The player will be given several chances to guess the number. The program gives a hint that the given number is lower or higher. If the player's guess is correct, give the player a single point. Tally the number of correct and wrong guesses that the player has made. After every round, display the tally (correct, wrong, and score) After a cycle the program will ask the user if he wants to continue playing. This is a console project.
