Acertain string-processing language offers a primitive operation which splits astring into two pieces. since this operation involves copying the original string, ittakes n units of time for a string of length n, regardless of the location of the cut. suppose, now, that you want to break a string into many pieces. the order inwhich the breaks are made can affect the total running time. for example, if youwant to cut a 20-character string at positions 3 and 10, then making the first cutat position 3 incurs a total cost of 20 + 17 = 37, while doing position 10 first hasa better cost of 20 + 10 = 30.give a dynamic programming algorithm that, given the locations of m cuts in astring of length n, finds the minimum cost of breaking the string into m+ 1pieces.

Write a pseudocode solution for each of these problems. 1. design a while loop that lets that user enter a number. the number should be multiplied by 10, and the result stored in a variable named product. the loop should iterate as long as product contains a value less than 100. 2. design a do-while loop that asks the user to enter two numbers. the numbers should be added and the sum displayed. the loop should ask the user whether he or she wishes to perform the operation again. if so, the loop should repeat; otherwise it should terminate. 3. design a for loop that displays the following set of numbers: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 100. 4. design a nested loop that displays 10 rows of # characters. there should be 15 # characters in each row. 5. convert this for loop to a while loop. declare integer count for count = 1 to 50 display count end for 6. find the error in the following pseudocode. declare boolean finished = false declare integer value, cube while not finished display β€œenter a value to be cubed.” input value; set cube = value ^ 3 display value, β€œ cubed is β€œ, cube end while

In this lab, you complete a prewritten c++ program for a carpenter who creates personalized house signs. the program is supposed to compute the price of any sign a customer orders, based on the following facts: the charge for all signs is a minimum of $35.00. the first five letters or numbers are included in the minimum charge; there is a $4 charge for each additional character. if the sign is made of oak, add $20.00. no charge is added for pine. black or white characters are included in the minimum charge; there is an additional $15 charge for gold-leaf lettering. instructions ensure the file named housesign.cppis open in the code editor. you need to declare variables for the following, and initialize them where specified: a variable for the cost of the sign initialized to 0.00 (charge). a variable for the number of characters initialized to 8 (numchars). a variable for the color of the characters initialized to "gold" (color). a variable for the wood type initialized to "oak" (woodtype). write the rest of the program using assignment statements and ifstatements as appropriate. the output statements are written for you. execute the program by clicking the run button. your output should be: the charge for this sign is $82. this is the code, // housesign.cpp - this program calculates prices for custom made signs. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { // this is the work done in the housekeeping() function // declare and initialize variables here // charge for this sign // color of characters in sign // number of characters in sign // type of wood // this is the work done in the detailloop() function // write assignment and if statements here // this is the work done in the endofjob() function // output charge for this sign cout < < "the charge for this sign is $" < < charge < < endl; return(0); }

Calculating the "total price" of an item is tedious, so implement a get_item_cost method that just returns the quantity times the price for an item. by the way, the technical term for this kind of instance method is an accessor method, but you'll hear developers calling them getters because they always start with "get" and they get some value from instance attributes. in order to make the items sortable by their total total price, we need to customize our class. search the lectures slides for "magic" to see how to do this. see section 9.8 for an additional reference. the receipt class: this will be the class that defines our receipt type. obviously, a receipt will consist of the items on the receipt. this is called the composition design pattern. and it is very powerful. instance attributes: customer_name : it is very important to always know everything you can about your customers for "analytics", so you will keep track of a string customer name in objects of type receipt. date : the legal team has required that you keep track of the dates that purchases happen for "legal reasons", so you will also keep track of the string date in objects of type receipt. cart_items : this will be a list of the items in the cart and hence end up on the receipt. methods: 1. create a default constructor that can take a customer name as an argument, but if it gets no customer name, it will just put "real human" for the customer_name attribute. it should also accept a date argument, but will just use the value "today" for the date instance attribute if no date is given. the parameters should be named the same as the instance attributes to keep things simple. 2. add_item : self-descriptive. takes a parameter which we hope beyond hope is of type itemtopurchase and adds it to the cart_items. returns none. 3. print_receipt : takes a single parameter isevil, with default value true. returns a total cost of all the items on the receipt (remember to factor in the quantity). prints the receipt based on the following specification: for example, if isevil is true, and customer_name and date are the default values: welcome to evilmart, real human today have an evil day! otherwise, it should print: welcome to goodgo, real human today have an good day! then the receipt should be printed in sorted order like we discussed earlier, but whether or not it starts with the highest cost (think reverse), depends on the value of isevil. if it is evil, then the lowest cost items should print first, but if it is good, then it will print the highest cost items first. (cost meaning price*quantity). remember to return the total cost regardless! your main() function: the main flow of control of your program should go in a main() function or the program will fail all the unit tests. get the name of the customer with the prompt: enter customer name: get the date with the prompt: enter today's date then, ask the question: are you evil? your program should consider the following as true: yeah yup let's face it: yes hint: what do these strings all have in common? your program should consider all the following as false: no nah perhaps but i'm leaning no (just be glad you don't have to handle "yeah no.") okay enough horsing around. (get it? aggies? ! horsing! ) next, in the main() function, you will have to create a receipt object and start adding things into it using an input-while loop. the loop will prompt the user for the item name exactly as in the previous zylab (9.11). but unlike the previous zylab, the loop will terminate only if an empty string is entered for the item name. then, the price and the quantity will be prompted for exactly as in the previous zylab. create the itemtopurchase objects in the same manner as the previous zylab, but don't forget to add them to the receipt using your add_item instance method. then, the items on the receipt should be printed with the same formatting as in the previous zylab, of course with either "good" or "evil" ordering. however, on the last line, the total should be printed as follows: where 10 is replaced by the actual total. sample run here is what a sample run of the final program should look like: enter customer name: nate enter today's date: 12/20/2019 are you evil? bwahahahaha yes enter the item name: bottled student tears enter the item price: 2 enter the item quantity: 299 enter the item name: salt enter the item price: 2 enter the item quantity: 1 enter the item name: welcome to evilmart, nate 12/20/2019 have an evil day! salt 1 @ $2 = $2 bottled student tears 299 @ $2 = $598 total: $600
