Out: Thursday, September 21
Due: Thursday, September 28, at the beginning of class

Note that late projects will NOT be accepted.

The Objectives

• To practice solving problems in a generic manner
• To practice writing basic pseudocode for the solution of a problem

The Assignment

• First solve each of the two problems shown below. (25 points each, so make sure you show your work, no matter how simple you think it is)

• Then write an algorithm for each of these two problems in pseudocode.(25 points each)
  1) Mr. Jones decided to go gambling one night. He went to a casino and spent $5.00 admission to enter. While gambling, he doubles his money. He leaves and then pays $5.00 for parking. He goes to another casino, pays $5.00 admission to enter and doubles his money. After he leaves and pays $5.00 for parking, he has no money left. How much money did Mr. Jones have when he started?

  Tips about problem # 1 :

  • Mr. Jones must always have no money left at the end.
  • The user should specify the number of casinos.
  • The user should specify the admission fee to enter the casino. You can assume it will be the same for every casino.
  • The user should specify the parking fee. You can assume it will be the same each time he parks.

  
  

  2) Your grade in CMSC104 is based on the following:

   3 Homeworks (4% each) = 12%
   4 Projects  (7% each) = 28%
   3 Exams    (20% each) = 60%
  
   Total = 100%
  	    

  If you have the following homework, project and exam grades at the end of the semester, calculate your final grade for the course:

  
  
       Homework 1 = 100/100  Project 1 =   90/100    Exam 1 = 90/100
       Homework 2 =  50/100  Project 2 =  100/100    Exam 2 = 85/100
       Homework 3 = 100/100  Project 3 =   95/100    Exam 3 = 80/100
                             Project 4 =   95/100     
  		

  Tips about problem # 2 :

  • You should allow the user to enter in each of the homework, project and exam grades individually.
