    Problem 1 Programming Exercises (2.17)

    Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of health based on weight. It can be calculated by
    taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by the square of your height in meters.
    Write a program that prompts the user to enter a weight in pounds and height in inches
    and displays the BMI.

    Note that one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms and one inch is 0.0254 meters.
    Here is a sample run:

    Enter weight in pounds: 95.5 <enter>


    Enter height in inches: 50 <enter>
    BMI is 26.857257942215885

    Solution

    Phase 1: Problem-Solving Phase:


    1- Ask the user to enter the weight in pounds (weight_in_pounds).
    o Use the input function to read inputs from the user.
    o Use the eval function to evaluate the string input to numbers.
    o weight_in_pounds = eval(input("message…"))
    2- Ask the user to enter the height in inches (height_in_inches).
    o height_in_inches = eval(input("message…"))
    3- Convert the weight in pounds (weight_in_pounds) to kilograms (weight_in_kilograms).
    o Note: one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms. Define this value as a constant
    (ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS) to easily use it later in calculations.
    o ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS = 0.45359237
    o Multiply weight_in_pounds by ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS to get the weight in
    kilograms. Why? To convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide it by the number of smaller units which
    are needed to make larger unit. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply.
    o weight_in_kilograms = weight_in_pounds * ONE_POUND_TO_KILOGRAMS
    4- Convert the height in inches (height_in_inches) to meters (height_in_meters).
    o Note: one inch is 0.0254 meters. Define this value as a constant (ONE_INCH_IN_METERS)
    to easily use it later in calculations.
    2
    o ONE_INCH_IN_METERS = 0.0254
    o Multiply height_in_inches by ONE_INCH_IN_METERS to get the height in meters. Why? To
    convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide it by the number of smaller units which are needed to make
    larger unit. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply.
    o height_in_meters = height_in_inches * ONE_INCH_IN_METERS
    5- Calculate the body mass index (bmi).
    o Note:
    o bmi = weight_in_kilograms / (height_in_meters * height_in_meters)
    6- Display the results (bmi).
    Phase 2: Implementation Phase:
    1. Create a new project and name it “Lab 4”.
    2. Create a new file and name it “activity_1.py”.
    3. Write the following code in the file:
    activity_1.py
    1 # Ask the user to enter the weight in pounds
    2 weight_in_pounds = eval(input("Enter weight in pounds: "))
    3
    4 # Ask the user to enter the height in inches
    5 height_in_inches = eval(input("Enter height in inches: "))
    6
    7 # Convert the weight in pounds to kilograms
    8 ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS = 0.45359237
    9 weight_in_kilograms = ONE_POUND_IN_KILOGRAMS * weight_in_pounds
    10
    11 # Convert the height in inches to meters
    12 ONE_INCH_IN_METERS = 0.0254
    13 height_in_meters = height_in_inches * ONE_INCH_IN_METERS
    14
    15 # Calculate the body mass index (BMI)
    16 bmi = weight_in_kilograms / (height_in_meters * height_in_meters)
    17
    18 # Display the result
    19 print("BMI is", bmi)

    Problem 2 Programming Exercises (2.19)

    Write a program that reads in an investment amount, the annual interest rate, and the
    number of years, and displays the future investment value using the following formula:

    For example, if you enter the amount 1000, an annual interest rate of 4.25%, and the
    number of years as 1, the future investment value is 1043.33. Here is a sample run:

    Enter investment amount: 1000 <enter>


    Enter annual interest rate: 4.25 <enter>
    Enter number of years: 1 <enter>
    Accumulated value is 1043.33

    Solution

    Phase 1: Problem-Solving Phase:


    1- Ask the user to enter the investment amount (investmentAmount).
    o investmentAmount = eval(input("message…"))
    2- Ask the user to enter the annual interest rate (annualInterestRate).
    o annualInterestRate = eval(input("message…"))
    3- Ask the user to enter the number of years (numberOfYears).
    o numberOfYears = eval(input("message…"))
    4- Calculate the monthly interest rate (monthlyInterestRate).
    o Note that the annual interest rate (annualInterestRate) is in percentage (%). If you want
    to use it in a calculation, you have to remove the percentage (%) first by dividing the value
    (rate) by 100.
    o 1 Year = 12 Months
    o monthlyInterestRate = (annualInterestRate / 100) / 12
    5- Calculate the number of months (numberOfMonths).
    o 1 Year = 12 Months
    o numberOfMonths = numberOfYears * 12
    6- Calculate the future investment value (futureValue).
    o futureValue = investmentAmount * ((1 + monthlyInterestRate)
    ** numberOfMonths)
    o You can use the line continuation symbol (\) to split the statement line into two lines.
    o futureValue = investmentAmount * \
    o ((1 + monthlyInterestRate) ** numberOfMonths)
    7- Display the result (futureValue).

    Phase 2: Implementation Phase:
    1. Open the project “Lab 4” if it was not opened or create it if it was not existing.
    2. Create a new file and name it “activity_2.py”.
    3. Write the following code in the file:
    activity_2.py
    1 # Enter the investment amount
    2 investmentAmount = eval(
    3 input("Enter the investment amount, for example 120000.95: "))
    4 # Enter yearly interest rate
    5 annualInterestRate = eval(
    6 input("Enter annual interest rate, for example 8.25: "))
    7 # Enter number of years
    8 numberOfYears = eval(
    9 input("Enter number of years as an integer, for example 5: "))
    10
    11 # Calculate monthly interest rate
    12 monthlyInterestRate = (annualInterestRate / 100) / 12
    13 # Calculate the number of months
    14 numberOfMonths = numberOfYears * 12
    15 # Calculate the future investment value
    16 futureValue = investmentAmount * \
    17 ((1 + monthlyInterestRate) ** numberOfMonths)
    18
    19 # Display the result
    20 print("Future value is", int(futureValue * 100) / 100.0)

    Individual Activities (60 minutes)

    Problem 3 Programming Exercises (2.5)

    Write a program that reads the subtotal and the gratuity rate and computes the gratuity
    and total. For example, if the user enters 10 for the subtotal and 15% for the gratuity rate,
    the program displays 1.5 as the gratuity and 11.5 as the total.
    Here is a sample run of the program:

    Enter the subtotal and a gratuity rate: 15.69, 15 <enter>


    The gratuity is 2.35 and the total is 18.04

    Problem 4 Programming Exercises (2.20)

    If you know the balance and the annual percentage interest rate, you can compute the
    interest on the next monthly payment using the following formula:

    Write a program that reads the balance and the annual percentage interest rate and
    displays the interest for the next month. Here is a sample run:

    Enter balance and interest rate (e.g., 3 for 3%): 1000, 3.5 <enter>
    The interest is 2.91667
