C++ Take-home Practical Coursework 1

1. Write a program that takes an integer and prints whether it's positive, negative,
or zero.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int num;
cout << "Enter an integer: ";
cin >> num;
if (num > 0)
cout << "Positive\n";
else if (num < 0)
cout << "Negative\n";
else cout << "Zero\n";
}

2. Check if a number is even or odd.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int num;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num;
if (num % 2 == 0) cout << "Even\n";
else cout << "Odd\n";
}
3. Input two numbers and print the larger one.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int a, b;
cout << "Enter two numbers: ";
cin >> a >> b;
if (a > b) cout << "Largest: " << a << endl;
else if (b > a) cout << "Largest: " << b << endl;
else cout << "Both are equal\n";
}

4. Determine if a given year is a leap year (divisible by 4, but not by 100 unless also
by 400).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int year;
cout << "Enter a year: ";
cin >> year;
if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0))
cout << year << " is a Leap Year\n";
else cout << year << " is NOT a Leap Year\n";
}
5. Input a character and check if it's a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or consonant.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
char ch;
cout << "Enter a character: ";
cin >> ch;
ch = tolower(ch);
if (ch=='a' || ch=='e' || ch=='i' || ch=='o' || ch=='u')
cout << "Vowel\n";
else if (isalpha(ch))
cout << "Consonant\n";
else cout << "Not a letter\n";
}

6. Print the absolute value of a number without using abs ().

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int num;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num;
if (num < 0) num = -num;
cout << "Absolute value: " << num << endl;
}

if (marks >= 50) cout << "Pass\n";
else cout << "Fail\n";
}

8. Assign grades (A, B+, B, C+, C, D, F) based on marks (80+, 70+, 60+, 55+, 50+,
40+, 0+).

#include <iostream>

cout << "Valid Triangle\n";
else
cout << "Not a Valid Triangle\n";
}

10. Compute roots of ax? + bx + c = 0 (handle real and imaginary cases).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

do {
cout << "\nATM Menu:\n";
cout << "1. Check Balance\n2. Deposit\n3. Withdraw\n0. Exit\nChoice: ";

else if (purchase >= 500) purchase *= 0.95;
cout << "Final amount: " << purchase << endl;
}

17. Calculate BMI and classify: Underweight (<18.5), Normal, Overweight, Obese.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
double weight, height, bmi;
cout << "Enter weight (kg): ";
cin >> weight;
cout << "Enter height (m): ";

if (bmi < 18.5) cout << "Underweight\n";
else if (bmi < 25) cout << "Normal\n";
else if (bmi < 30) cout << "Overweight\n";
else cout << "Obese\n";
}

18. Compute income tax based on brackets (e.g., O-SSP 10000: 0%, SSP 10000- SSP
50000:10%, 50000-200000: 15% otherwise 200000+: 20%. (use if-else-if)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
double income, tax=0;
cout << "Enter income: ";
cin >> income;
if (income <= 2500) tax = 0;
else if (income <= 5000) tax = (income-2500)*0.1;
else if (income <= 10000) tax = 2500*0.1 + (income-5000)*0.2;
else tax = 2500*0.1 + 5000*0.2 + (income-10000)*0.3;
cout << "Tax = " << tax << endl;
}
19. Check if a character is uppercase, lowercase, digit, or special symbol. (Clue: use
the ASClI values e.g. uppercase A – B: 65 – 96)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
char ch;
cout << “Enter a character: “;
cin >> ch;
if (isupper(ch)) cout << “Uppercase Letter\n”;
else if (islower(ch)) cout << “Lowercase Letter\n”;
else if (isdigit(ch)) cout << “Digit\n”;
else cout << “Special Symbol\n”;
}

20. Convert 24-hour time to 12-hour format (e.g., 13:30 → 1:30 PM).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int hour, minute;
cout << “Enter time (HH MM): “;
cin >> hour >> minute;
string period = “AM”;
if (hour == 0) { hour = 12; period = “AM”; }
else if (hour == 12) { period = “PM”; }
else if (hour > 12) { hour -= 12; period = “PM”; }
cout << “12-hour format: “ << hour << “:” << (minute<10?”0”:””) << minute << “ “ <<
period << endl;
}

21. Rewrite any of the above problems (e.g., largest of two numbers) using the
ternary operator (?:).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int a, b;
cout << “Enter two numbers: “;
cin >> a >> b;
cout << “Largest = “ << (a > b ? a : b) << endl;
}

22. Check if a 3-digit number is a palindrome (e.g., 121) using only selection
statements (no loops).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int num, rev=0, temp;
cout << “Enter a 3-digit number: “;
cin >> num;
temp = num;
while (temp > 0) {
rev = rev*10 + temp%10;
temp /= 10;
}
if (num == rev) cout << “Palindrome\n”;
else cout << “Not a Palindrome\n”;
}

23. Check if a point (x, y) lies inside, outside, or on the boundary of a rectangle.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int x, y, x1, y1, x2, y2;
cout << "Enter bottom-left (x1,y1): ";
cin >> x1 >> y1;
cout << "Enter top-right (x2,y2): ";
cin >> x2 >> y2;
cout << "Enter point (x,y): ";
cin >> x >> y;
if (x>=x1 && x<=x2 && y>=y1 && y<=y2) cout << "Inside Rectangle\n";
else cout << "Outside Rectangle\n";
}

24. Classify a password as:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
string pass;
cout << "Enter password: ";
cin >> pass;
bool hasUpper=false, hasLower=false, hasDigit=false, hasSpecial=false;
for(char ch : pass) {
if (isupper(ch)) hasUpper = true;
else if (islower(ch)) hasLower = true;
else if (isdigit(ch)) hasDigit = true;
else hasSpecial = true;
}

if (pass.length() >= 8 && hasUpper && hasLower && hasDigit && hasSpecial)
cout << "Strong Password\n";
else
cout << "Weak Password\n";
}

25. Understand the Rock-Paper-Scissors Game then simulate a single round against
the computer (use rand () for computer choice).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
srand(time(0));
string choices[3] = {"Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"};
int user, comp;
cout << "0 = Rock, 1 = Paper, 2 = Scissors\nEnter your choice: ";
cin >> user;
comp = rand() % 3;
cout << "Computer chose: " << choices[comp] << endl;
if (user == comp) cout << "Draw!\n";
else if ((user==0 && comp==2) || (user==1 && comp==0) || (user==2 && comp==1))
cout << "You Win!\n";
else
cout << "Computer Wins!\n";
}
