eXercise #4
Programmed Input
1. Create a project
with 4 buttons called "a", "b" "c" and
"d". Write and test button-click handlers which:
- Accept an integer
and output its square.
- Accept two integers
and output their difference. Note that this difference must always
be output as a positive number.
- Accept a character
and output its uppercase equivalent (if It has one) or just the character
(if it does not).
- Accept a real
number and output its reciprocal.
2. The simple interest
$i on a loan principal $p at flat
interest rate of r percent per year for t
years is
prt
i = -----
100
Write a small program,
complete with appropriate prompts, which asks you for the principal,
interest rate and term in years and which calculates and outputs the
total interest and amount owing. Ensure you use appropriate variable
names and efficient data types and your output clearly states your answers.
3. A loan company
wishes to computerize its hire purchase arrangements with customers.
These arrangements are as follows:
A customer wishes
to purchase goods worth AmountDollars and is prepared
to pay an initial deposit DepositDollars. The initial
balance BalanceDollars is to be repaid under hire purchase
arrangements at an interest rate (% per annum and with monthly repayments
of RepaymentDollars. Each month, the loan company calculates
a new balance owing by adding to the previous balance the interest it
has attracted over the month and then subtracting the customer's repayment.
After NumPayments such payments, the customer has paid
a total of TotalPaidDollars to the loan company and
the contract is concluded.
The loan company
wants to supply the customer with two amounts. Firstly, it must tell
the customer how much the monthly repayment RepaymentDollars
will be. Secondly, It wants to tell the customer how much he will ultimately
pay back over the NumPayments months of the agreement,
that is, TotalPaidDollars. The mathematics of the scheme
Is:
Let b = a - d.
x = i/1200 and y = (1+x)raised to n
Then
x b
r = ----- and t = nr + d
1-(1/y)
where b = BalanceDollars
a = AmountDollars
d = DepositDollars
x and y are intermediate results used in the calculations
r = RepaymentDollars
n = NumPayments
t = TotalPaidDollars
i = interest rate (per annum)
where
x raised to the power y = exp(ln(x)*y)
Write a small program,
complete with prompts and messages which suits the the needs of the
loan company.
Design a form-based
output layout similar to that shown below. Check your program with these
numbers to ensure that it is working properly.
Amount? $ 23000
Deposit? $ 2000
Interest rate? % 18
Term? (months) 84
Initial debt $ 23000.00
Deposit $ 2000.00
Interest rate % 18.00
Term (months) 84
Monthly repayment $ 441.37
Total amount $ 39075.08
