Program Unit Score Calculator Console App
Write a Python Console Application program that allows the user to enter the marks for different assessments in a unit, and computes the total mark and grade for the unit.
Here is the program logic specification:
There are six assessment activities Quiz1, Quiz2, Quiz3, Quiz4, Lab Journal, Major Assignment and Final Exam.
The four quizzes are worth 5 marks each, the Lab Journal is worth 10 marks, the Major Assignment is worth 30 marks and the Final Exam is worth 40 marks.
The algorithm for computing the total mark for the unit is:
Total Mark = Quiz1+Quiz2+Quiz3+Quiz4+Major Assignment+ Lab Journal + Final Exam

C++ Visual 2019
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…
JAVA Programming Problem 2 - Diving
In the sport of diving, seven judges award a score between 0 and 10, where each score may be a floating-point value. The highest and lowest scores are thrown out and the remaining scores are added together. The sum is then multiplied by the degree of difficulty for that dive. The degree of difficulty ranges from 1.2 to 3.8 points. The total is then multiplied by 0.6 to determine the diver’s score. Write a computer program that will ultimately determine the diver’s score. This program must include the following methods:
A method name inputValidScore that inputs one valid score for one judge for one diver. This method will return the valid score.
A method named inputAllScores that creates an array to store the scores for all judges for the diver. This method will fill the array with a valid score from each judge. This method does not take input arguments, but it does return the array of scores.
A method named inputValidDegreeOfDifficulty that inputs a…

For example, starting with n = 5, we get the sequence 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 6, we get the sequence 6, 3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 7, we get 7, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 8, we get the sequence 8, 4, 2, 1. As far as anyone can tell, this process will eventually reach 1 for any starting value, although mathematicians have been unable to formally prove this property as of yet. a. Write a Python function named hail () that takes a single integer argument. hail() should print out the sequence of numbers generated by applying the process above to the function parameter. This function does not return any value.arrow_forward
- 2. Rolling Dice Simulator in C Difficulty: Requirements: • As the title suggests, this question involves writing a program that simulates rolling dice. When the program runs, it will randomly choose a number between 1 and 6. (Or whatever other integer you prefer — the number of sides on the die is up to you.) • The program will print what that number is. • It should then ask you if you’d like to roll again. • For this question, you will need to set the min and max number that your dice can produce. For the average die, that means a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6. . Use online C compiler HD to do this question, use while loop to get this done . In 150 words explain your code or program.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_forwarduse C++ programming language Write a program that computes and displays the charges for a patient’s hospital stay.

- # Python 3 def printFunction(num1, num2): num3 = num1 + num2 return num3print(num3) Explanation: Here, num3 is the local variable that is defined in the scope of the function and when it is used outside the function, an error occurs. Print(num3) is the statement which is outside the scope of the function. So, when this statement is executed, there is no variable named num3 to be printed, so it gives an error. The error that occurs is : NameError: name 'num3' is not defined Construct a function that takes an argument. Give the function parameter a unique name. Show what happens when you try to use that parameter name outside the function. Explain the results.
