Course: CSC10001 – Introduction to Programming

Data types, Operators, and Expressions

Prepare your submission

• For multiple-choice and essay questions: Present your work to the PDF file whose name is
<StudentID>.pdf, where StudentID is your student number.
The following guide you how to treat with different types of questions
o Single-choice questions: Each choice is indicated by the circle  Pick the most correct
choice and explain for every other choice (i.e., why you did not choose it)
o Multiple-choice questions: Each choice is indicated by the square  Pick one or many
correct choices and explain for every other choice
o Essay questions: Give a comprehensive answer that covers all aspects of the problem
• For C/C++ programming questions: Present your source codes in C/C++. Do not use any
additional libraries/open sources without permission
o Prepare a separate folder for each question. Name the folder as <StudentID>_<i>,
where StudentID is your student number and i is the question index. For example,
20120001_1, 20120001_2, etc.
o Put all corresponding files (i.e., files of extensions *.cpp, *.h, and data files, etc.) to each
folder. Do not include the intermediate files generated by the Visual Studio compiler.
Do not include the execution files since they are easily affected by viruses.
o Programming questions sometimes require brief explanation. In those cases, present
your arguments to the report file described above.
• Solutions for multiple-choice and essay questions will be provided after the submission
deadlines, while for programming questions, solutions can be alternatively algorithms or
C/C++ source codes.
• Students contact TA through Moodle forum or email (Ms. Nguyễn Ngọc Thảo: nnthao@fit...).

B. Programming questions (10pts)

You can answer these questions by any possible mean while not worrying about loops or conditions
(which will be available in the following weeks).

B.1. Write a C++ program to prompt the user to input three integer values and print these values
in forward and reversed order.
Test Data :
Input the first value: 12
Input the second value: 45
Input the third value: 78
Expected Output:
Forward order: 78 45 12
Backward order: 12 45 78

B.2. Write a program that prompts the user to enter some temperature value in the Celsius scale
and then converts it to corresponding value in the Fahrenheit scale.
Test Data :
Input the temperature in Celsius scale: 36.5
Expected Output:
The temperature in Fahrenheit scale: 97.7

B.3. Write a program that prompts the user to enter some distance value in kilometers and then
converts it to corresponding value in miles.
Test Data :
Input the distance in kilometers: 36.5
Expected Output:
The distance in miles: 22.68
B.4. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a three-bit binary value by sequentially
inputting the bits, from lowest to highest. The program then calculates the corresponding
decimal value from the given binary value.
Test Data :
Input the first (lowest) bit: 0
Input the second bit: 1
Input the third bit: 1
Expected Output:
The decimal value of the given binary value is 6

B.5. Write a program to calculate a bike’s average consumption from the given total distance
traveled (in km, integer value) and spent fuel (in liters, float number with 2 decimal point).
Test Data :
Input total distance in km: 350
Input total fuel spent in liters: 5.25
Expected Output:
Average consumption (km/lt): 66.67
B.6. Write a program that accepts an employee's total worked hours of a month and the amount
of money received per hour, and then the program prints the employee's salary (with two
decimal places).
Test Data :
Input the working hours of a month: 30
Salary amount/hour: 99.99
Expected Output:
Salary = 2999.7
B.7. Write a program to calculate the Euclidean distance between two 2-dimensional coordinates
inputted by the users.
Test Data :
Input x1: 25
Input y1: 15
Input x2: 35
Input y2: 10
Expected Output:
Distance between the two given points: 11.1803
B.8. Write a program that accepts two numbers, val1 and val2 (val2  0), and calculates the sum
(val1+val2), difference (val1-val2), product (val1*val2) and division (val1/val2) of the two
numbers.
Test Data :
Input the first number: 7.5
Input the second number: 2.5
Expected Output:
The sum of two numbers is 10
The difference between two numbers is 5
The product of two numbers is 18.75
The division of two numbers is 3

B.9. Write a program that prompts the user to enter some number of pennies (1-cent coins),
nickels (5-cent coins), dimes (10-cent coins), quarters (25-cent coins), half-dollar coins (50-
cent coins), and one-dollar coins (100-cent coins), and then prints out the value of all coins
in cents. The program should query the user separately for the number of each size coin, e.g.,
“How many pennies do you have?”
Test Data :
How many pennies do you have? 23
How many nickels do you have? 17
How many dimes do you have? 14
How many quarters do you have? 7
How many half-dollar coins do you have? 3
How many one-dollar coins do you have? 1
Expected Output:
The value of all your coins is 673 cents
B.10. Write a program that functions reversely to the above problem. The user enters some
number of cents. The program exchanges the given number of cents to some numbers of
pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollar coins (50-cent coins), and one-dollar coins.
Coins of larger values are preferred in the exchange, that is the program should first
exchange the given number of cents to one-dollar coins, the remaining cents are then
exchanged to half-dollar coins, and so on.
Test Data :
How many cents do you have? 573
Expected Output:
You have 5 one-dollar coins, 1 half-dollar coins, 0 quarters, 2 dimes, 0 nickels and 3
pennies.
