eXercise #6
Multiple Branching
using CASE
- Re-write the
dice throwing program from the previous exercise set as a more efficient
CASE statement.
- Write a simple
program that accepts a character and reports what type of character
it is based on the following ASCII classification:
| Characters |
Character
Type |
| ASCII 0-31,127 |
Control
Characters |
| 'A' to
'Z' |
Alphabetic
Uppercase |
| 'a' to
'z' |
Alphabetic
Lowercase |
| '0' to
'9' |
Digits |
| ASCII 128
to 255 |
Extended
ASCII Graphics |
| any others |
Punctuation |
-
Cutoffs are
applied to cumulative achievement to determine your EXIT rating,
and are typically:
BETA
- 80% or more
= VHA
- Between 79%
and 65% = HA
- Between 64%
and 45% = SA
- Between 44%
and 25 = LA
- Lower = VLA
ALPHA
- 70% or more
= VHA
- Between 69%
and 55% = HA
- Between 54%
and 40% = SA
- Between 39%
and 25 = LA
- Lower = VLA
Write a program
that accepts BOTH ALPHA and BETA percentage, and correctly outputs
the EXIT rating, remembering that NO tradeoffs between ALPHA and
BETA are allowed. (All percentages are rounded to the nearest whole)
- A person's initial
taxation liability is determined on a formula which is based on their
taxable income. This formula is:
tax = base + rate x income
Taxable incomes are divided into 'brackets', and for each so-called
bracket, there is a different base and rate. For the purposes of this
question, assume that these are:
| Bracket |
Base |
Rate |
| below 4
000 |
0.00 |
0.00 |
| 4 000 -
9 999 |
-760.00 |
0.19 |
| 10 000
- 19 999 |
-2140.00 |
0.33 |
| 20 000
- 29 999 |
-4960.00 |
0.47 |
| 30 000
- 39 999 |
-7660.00 |
0.56 |
| 40 000
and above |
-12060.00 |
0.67 |
Write a program
that accepts an amount of TAXABLE INCOME from the user, and correctly
outputs the amount of TAX payable by them.
Remember that the maximum integer available is 32 767 and that
real expressions cannot be used as the basis of a case statement.
However, a case statement should be used to locate the correct base
and rate for the calculation.
