Chapter 8, Problem 3PP
Give the function definition for the function with the following function
declaration. Embed your definition in a suitable test
| void getDouble(double& inputNumber); //Postcondition: inputNumber is given a value //that the user approves of. |
You can assume that the user types in the input in normal everyday notation, such as 23.789, and does not use e-notation to type in the number. Model your definition after the definition of the function getInt given in Display 8.3 so that your function reads the input as characters, edits the string of characters, and converts the resulting string to a number of type double. You will need to define a function like readAndClean that is more sophisticated than the one in Display 8.2, since it must cope with the decimal point. This is a fairly easy project. For a more difficult project, allow the user to enter the number in either the normal everyday notation, as discussed above, or in e-notation. Your function should decide whether or not the input is in e-notation by reading the input, not by asking the user whether she or he will use e-notation

Write the definition of a void function that takes as input three decimal numbers. The function returns the sum and average of the three numbers. If the average is greater than or equal to 70, it returns "Pass"; otherwise it returns "Fail".
Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions:
• void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate that it is not lower than 0 or higher than 100. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered.
• void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.• int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which one of the five scores to drop.
Write a function named check() that has three parameters. The first parameter should accept an integer number, and the second and third parameters should accept a double precision number. The function body should just display the values of data passed to the function when it’s called.(Note: When tracing errors in functions, having the function display values it has been passed is helpful. Quite often, the error isn’t in what the function body does with data, but in the data received and stored.)

- Change each one of these questions to now work using a function.  decide what the name of the function of each should be, how many parameters are required and what value needs to be returned. You’re no longer required to solve the problem - try to re-manage your code to be a function. Write a program that uses input to prompt a user for their name and then welcomes them.

It should use the following functions: - getScore– This function ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it.

This function should be called by main () once for each of the five scores to be entered. - calcAverage – This function calculates and display the average of the four highest score.

- In this challenge, the task is to debug the existing code to successfully execute all provided test files. Python supports a useful concept of default argument values. For each keyword argument of a function, we can assign a default value which is going to be used as the value of said argument if the function is called without it. For example, consider the following increment function: defincrement_by(n,increment=1):returnn+increment The functions works like this: >>>increment_by(5,2)7>>>increment_by(4)5>>> Debug the given function print_from_stream using the default value of one of its arguments. The function has the following signature: defprint_from_stream(n,stream) This function should print the first values returned by get_next() method of stream object provided as an argument. Each of these values should be printed in a separate line. Whenever the function is called without the stream argument, it should use an instance of EvenStream class defined in…arrow_forwardWrite a Convert() function that casts the parameter from a double to an integer and returns the result.Note that the main() function prints out the returned value of the Convert() function. Ex: If the double value is 19.9, then the output is: 19 Ex: If the double value is 3.1, then the output is: 3arrow_forwardGoing missing Some calculations involving blank values may give different results to what you might expect. For example, when you pass a blank value into the AND() function, it is treated as TRUE. This is often unhelpful. To make blanks behave in a sensible way in calculations, you must first convert them to be "not available" using NA(). This function takes no inputs, and returns a missing value. To convert a blank value to a missing value, use this pattern. =IF(ISBLANK(cell), NA(), cell) Instruction In column H, use AND() to find women who have kids and get benefits. In column I, convert the blanks in column G to missing values. In column J, again find women who have kids and get benefits, this time using column I rather than G. please show the formula used to "has kids and gets benefits" , "gets benefits with missing values", has kids and gets benefits".

- Write the definition of a void function that takes as input two integer values, say n and m. The function returns the sum and average of all the numbers between n and m (inclusive) .arrow_forwardTo make a function return more than one result we pass parameters: By value. As int. By void. By reference.arrow_forwardModify the program so that it does the following: Performs a function that gets the area of a rectangle. The function must receive two parameters (decimal numbers) that represent the base and height of the rectangle and must return the calculated value (decimal number). Perform a second function that obtains the total area of a rectangular prism with a rectangular base. The total area of such a prism is equal to the sum of the areas of each of its faces. It uses calls to the previous function for this calculation. Call this last function in the main with user data. Execution example Give me the base: 21.3 Give me the height: 10 Give me the depth: 2.0 The total area of the prism is: 551.2arrow_forward
