WSQ 03 – Pick a Number (Week 04)

What to Do

Write a program that picks a random integer in the range of 1 to 100.

There are different ways to make that happen, you choose which one works best for you.

It then prompts the user for a guess of the value, with hints of ’too high’ or ’too low’ from the program.

The program continues to run until the user guesses the integer. You could do something extra here including telling there user how many guesses they had to make to get the right answer.

You might want to check that your program doesn’t always use the same random number is chosen and you should also split your problem solving into parts. Perhaps only generate the random number and print that as a first step.

WSQ 02- Temperature (Week 03)

What to Do

Write a program that will prompt the user for a temperature in Fahrenheit and then convert it to Celsius. You may recall that the formula is C = 5 ∗ (F − 32)/9.

Modify the program to state whether or not water would boil at the temperature given. Your output might look like the following

Example Run

What is the temperature in Fahrenheit? 100

A temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 37 in Celsius

Water does not boil at this temperature (under typical conditions).

What to Submit

As usual, create a blog post explaining what you did, where you found resources (books, videos, web pages, friends) to help you solve this. Remember to put the tag #WSQ02 on your post so our blog hub picks that up.

You should include your code either inline in the blog post (best option) and/or a link to your actual code on Dropbox/Google Drive/GitHub.

And of course, leave any questions here as well as asking those questions on Twitter with the hashtag #TC1014 so we all see your question posted there.

WSQ01 – Fun with Numbers

What to Do

Click image for source.

Ask the user for two integer values, then use those two values to calculate and show the following:

The sum of the two numbers.
The difference of the two numbers.
The product of the two numbers.
The integer based division of the two numbers (so no decimal point). First divided by second.
The remainder of integer division of the two numbers.
