Part1: Looping Statements

Instruction: Choose the most appropriate looping statement to solve the following problems and
write a program based on the selected looping statement

b. Starting from one.
c. Starting from a number entered from the keyboard.
Where n is a positive number to be entered from the keyboard.
2. Write a program that displays the first n positive integer numbers in reversed (descending)
order where n is a positive number to be entered from the keyboard.
3. Write a program that lets a user to enter numbers as long as s/he has entered a positive
number. When the user enters a negative number, the program must display the prompt that
says ‘Now you have entered a negative number’ then after it should be terminated.
4. Write a program that displays the upper and the lower cases of each of the Latin alphabets as
shown in the following example.

range of consecutive numbers where the starting and ending numbers of the range are to be
entered from the keyboard.

where n is positive integer number to be entered from the keyboard.
Example
1+1/2+1/3+ . . . +1/n.

Part4: Structures
1. Write a functions InputData and DisplayData that reads and display the elements of
a record(structure). Use the student record defined below.
struct Student{
char name[20];
char sex;
int age;
};
2. Use the functions in problem number 1 to read and display a list of students record.
Modify the display function so that it displays the list in a tabular form. Add
another function to your program in problem number 2 which can display only the
list of female or male students depending on the user choice.
3. A student record consist of his id number, a list of marks, average mark, and his
rank.
struct Student{
unsigned id;
float marks[5];
float average;
unsigned rank;
};
use the above structure to write a program that can read the inputs (id number
and list of marks) for the students in a class and calculate the average mark for
each student. Your program should finally give the rank for each student. Write
a function that displays the list of students in the order of their rank
4. Write a program which defines a new structure type to contain the following
information about towns: the name (a sequence of characters); the population (an
integer); and a Boolean value (i.e. true or false) which indicates whether the town
has an airport or not. Use the typedef statement to define your own Boolean data
type -remember that true in C++ is equivalent to the integer value 1, and false is
equivalent to 0.
5. Declare a single structure data type suitable for an employee record of the type
illustrated below:
Number Name Rate Hours
3462 JONES 4.62 40
6793 Robbins 5.83 38
7834 Swain 6.89 40
9002 Williams 4.75 42
Using the data type declared above, write a C++ program that interactively
accepts the above data into an array of six structures. Once the data have been
entered, the program should create a payroll report listing each employee’s
name, number, and gross pay. Include the total gross pay of all employees at the
end of the report.
