Lab assignment #5 - taxes

Problem Description

Compute the federal income tax due on a taxable income input by the user accorsing to the following table. Enter -1 to end the program.

Missing homework

As you were informed last class, in order for the last lab assignment to be given before the last day of class, all students must complete homework assignment #6. As of right now, only three students have submitted source code. No programs have arrived in my inbox from the remaining eleven students were in class last week.

As it stands right now, the remaining lab assignment will be given out in the last class meeting of the term on December 20th and you will have to do that program in class.

Homework assignment #6 - booleans.bas

Everyone must do this homework assignment!!

Write a program called booleans.bas which requests two integers from the user. Your program must determine if at least one of the entered numbers is even (use OR).

Homework assignment #5 - usFlag.bas

Write a program called usFlag.bas which displays the following menu to the user:

Homework assignment #4 - compare.bas

Write a program called compare.bas which requests two values from the user and prints out a mathematical sentence which shows which value is greater than the other.

Remaining material

While we did lose two weeks of class time, the good news is that four of the five graded lab assignments were assigned and their due dates were well before the hurricane and the nor'easter swept through the area, knocking out power and closing the school.

Lab assignment #4 - temp2.bas

Problem Description

Allow the user to enter a sequence of temperature in degrees Celsius (C) terminated by -999. For each one, find the corresponding temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F). Use the same formula as in lab assignment #2.

Lab assignment #3 - gpay.bas

Problem Description

The owners of the Super Supermarket want to compute the gross weekly pay of their employees. Each employee name, ID number, hours worked, overtime hours worked, and pay rate per hour (overtime will be figured as time-and-a-half) are to be input. The problem should output these values and the corresponding gross pay.

Monitoring interval #3 - reminder

An alarming number of students (one third of you!) are behind in their homework and lab assignment submissions. Doing your homework and turning in your labs on time is very important as the work assigned is reflective of the material covered in class.

Homework 3 - loopAvg.bas

Write a program called loopAvg.bas. Your program must sum the numbers from 17 to 37 inclusive, count how many addition steps that is, and then provide an average (the sum divided by the number of steps.

Code review forecast

I have noticed that a number of students seem to be making the same errors on the body mass index program and the temperature conversion program. In order to make a calculation using a user's input, you must first obtain the input. The sequence of your code statement matters.

Lab assignment #2 - temp1.bas

Problem Description

Input a temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit and find the corresponding temperature in degrees Celsius. Use the formula

Homework 2 - bmi.bas

Write a program called bmi.bas which will allow users to input their height and weight and which will use those values to calculate their Body Mass Index.

Timestamps

This is a high priority reminder.

I informed the class that I check timestamps on all emails. While reviewing lab assignment submissions, I noted that a student sent me an email with a timestamp right in the middle of our class meeting. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Code review #1

I have noticed several trends while reviewing the submitted assignments.

Homework assignment #1 - colorful.bas

Write a program called colorful.bas which will generate the following output in the colors designated:

RED = STOP
ORANGE = CAUTION
GREEN = GO

Class assignment #1 - resend

Please resend your first class program file, hello.bas,

BUT

instead of sending the file as named, save a copy of it and rename the copy as hello.128.

Comment block

The minimal comment block at the top of a program submission should look like this:

' Your name
' Filename: name_of_file.bas
' Description of program (what it does, what assignment it is)
' Versioning information and date

As an example:
