Background to the problem:
A nutritional app assists users in assessing their dietary habits. For the purpose of evaluation, the app asks the members to report how many fat grams and how many carbohydrate grams they consume per day.
To help users manage their calorie budgets more effectively, the app calculates the total calories derived from fat and carbohydrates, rounded to the nearest calorie.
The problem:
The purpose of this question is to write a program that will perform these nutritional calculations. Specifically, you will produce an estimate of the total calories as follows:
The number of calories resulting from the fat are calculated by multiplying the fat grams by 9.
Similarly, the number of calories that result from the carbohydrates are calculated as the carbohydrates grams multiplied by 4.
Your individual number is tied to the total calories so that there is some margin of error in the estimates.
For example, if a member reported of fat and of carbohydrates on a…

Theme Park Ticket Application
In holidays, people try to save their time and purchase
entrance tickets of the favored theme parks online. This
project aims to create a simple and most efficient
application that will display a menu to the visitors which
contains:
1.
Book a ticket
The program will display a menu that contains all the ticket prices
below, get how many tickets he/she would like to buy, and displays
the total price.
The ticket
Price
Child - Under 8 years old
70 USD
Adults
110 USD
Seiners
50 USD
2.
Calculate the price
The program should calculate the total price of tickets and display it
to the visitor. The program will ask if the visitor is a student, then a
discount of 40% is applied to the total price.
3.
Exit the application
The application should be terminated
Discover ambiguities or omissions in the following statement of requirements for part of a ticket-issuing systems: An automated ticket-issuing system sells rail tickets. Users select their destination and input a credit card and a personal identification number. The rail ticket is issued and their credit card account charged. When the user presses the start button, a menu display of potential destinations is activated, along with a message to the user to select a destination. Once a destination has been selected, users are requested to input their credit card. Its validity is checked and the user is then requested to input a personal identifier. When the credit transaction has been validated, the ticket is issued.
Rewrite the above description using the structured approach how to resolve the identified ambiguities in an appropriate way.

- JAVA You are to create a banking Java program/application that will be used by a bank manager and a customer. The program can perform the following tasks: The main( ) creates a menu for a bank manager and a bank customer. For a bank manager, he/she can add information of bank customers and display all customer records. For a bank customer, he/she can make a deposit to a bank account and withdraw money from the account. Hint: The main ( ) could have a static method that allows a bank manager to add customers’ information to a text file. The information consists of Customer ID, Name (full name), and Email Address. Note that a loop should be used to perform the manager's task. As a result from the process, a text file "BankCustInfo.txt" is created. Also, the main( ) could have another static method that allows the bank manager to display all customer records to the screen. Create a class, BankCustomer, that contains attributes such as CustomerID and Balance. The class allows a bank…arrow_forwardC# programming: A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours. The garage charges an additional $0.50 per hour for each hour or part thereof in excess of three hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write an app that calculates and displays the parking charges for each customer who parked in the garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. The app should display the charge for the current customer and should calculate and display the running total of yesterday’s receipts. The app should use method CalculateCharges to determine the charge for each customer.arrow_forwardBackground: Individuals will frequently put their extra cash into savings account that grow over time due to interest paid by the bank. One form of this is known as compounding interest, where interest is earned on both the initial deposit, and on any interest previously earned. You are to create an app that can calculate and show someone how much then earn if they choose to save. Instructions: 1. Create a Python file A01_R06_CUSN_monthlyBalance.py that shows customers how their deposits grow over time (in units of months). The program should: 1.1. Read the initial balance and the annual interest rate. The interest rate should then be increased by the last digit of your student number (e.g. if your student number is 100123456 and the user inputs 2%, then the interest used for calculations would be 2% + 6% to be 8%) 1.2. Calculate interest that is compounded monthly. 1.3. Print the monthly balance for the entered number of months. The output of your code should resemble the following:…arrow_forward
