CPPForSchool.com: Flow of Control Set 1: Assignment 8

8. In a company an employee is paid as under:
If his basic salary is less than Rs. 1500, then HRA = 10% of basic salary and DA = 90% of basic salary.
If his salary is either equal to or above Rs. 1500, then HRA = Rs. 500 and DA = 98% of basic salary.
If the employee's salary is input by the user write a program to find his gross salary.

Once again, I am faced with an assignment that is utilizing unfamiliar terms.  Like prior assignments, I will dive into the unknown with great confidence knowing that I will become well informed by the end of my journey.  Nevertheless, I did a quick search on line and here are my findings:


HRA:  I found acronyms that may be associated with this assignment, specifically House Rent Allowance and Health Reimbursement Account.  By deductive reasoning, I will associate HRA as the House Rent Allowance because it comes to reason that the salary directly impacts the employee before health care accounts.  According to Bank Bazaar,

"House Rent Allowance, as the term suggests, is an allowance granted by employers for employees to meet their house rent expenses. The salary of an individual will determine the HRA granted to him/her.
DA: Based on my research, DA is an abbreviation for Dearness Allowance.  According to Wikipedia, 

"The Dearness Allowance (DA) is a cost of living adjustment allowance paid to Government employees, Public sector employees (PSE)and pensioners in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. "


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onward to the algorithms!  First, the gross salary equates to the sum of the salary + HRA + DA.

From there, it was a matter of separating the flow for those who earn above 1500 or less than 1500.  Below is my source code and output.  Also, I included the sample run by CPPForSchool for comparison.

9. Write a program to check whether the given number is positive or negative (using ? : ternary operator ) This assignment had my computer science senses tingling, in a very bad way.  For this particular assignment, I had to code a program that utilizes a ternary operator for determining if a number is positive or negative.  In concept this should be rather simple, but reading it hasn't been too easy.  From what I understood, ternary operators function much like a shorthand if/else statement.  Nevertheless, below is the source code and output. Although there everything outputted as expected, there is a minor issue.  If the user decides to input a zero, regardless of the instruction, it will output incorrect information. Example 1: "23 is a positive number."  <--Correct! Example 2: "-123 is a negative number."  <--Correct! Example 3: "0 is a negative number." <--Wrong! Once again, I would like to point ...

6. P is one-dimensional array of integers. Write a C++ function to efficiently search for a data VAL from P. If VAL is present in the array then the function should return value 1 and 0 otherwise. For this assignment, I was not able to decipher what VAL was supposed to represent.  Presumably, it stood for value, but I was not 100% sure so I went ahead and reviewed the sample code.  With that said, I coded this assignment using functions once again.  Also, using bool was quite interesting.  I was unaware of how flexible bool can be utilized.  I have learned a great deal with this assignment.  Nevertheless, below is my source code along with the sample code for comparison.

8. Write a program to calculate area of circle. Once again, math has reared its focus on an assignment.  Luckily, with the power of search engines, I was able to rediscover the equations for calculating the area of a circle.  However, there are some requirements.  In order to calculate the area of a circle, the user will need to provide one of the following: radius, diameter, or circumference. Also, here is a quick rundown of the variables. A = Area π = pi r = radius D = diameter C = circumference According to MathIsFun , the area of a circle can be calculated using one of the following formulas. **Fun fact, in order to type the pi symbol "π", hold down ALT + 2, 2, 7. -- WikiHow ** **For the exponent of 2, hold down ALT + 2, 5, 3. -- AZCentral ** A = π r²                     π  (Pi) times the Radius squared A = ( π / 4 ) * D²      when you know the Diameter A = C² / 4...
