Chapter 5, Problem 8PC
Conversion
Write a program that asks the user to enter a distance in meters. The program will then present the following menu of selections:
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
The program will convert the distance to kilometers, inches, or feet, depending on the user’s selection. Here are the specific requirements:
- • Write a void method named showKi1ometers, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to kilometers. Convert the meters to kilometers using the following formula:kilometers = meters * 0.001
- Write a void method named showlnches, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to inches. Convert the meters to inches using the following formula:inches = meters * 39.37
- Write a void method named showFeet, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to feet. Convert the meters to feet using the following formula:feet = meters * 3.281
- Write a void method named menu that displays the menu of selections. This method should not accept any arguments.
- The program should continue to display the menu until the user enters 4 to quit the program.
- The program should not accept negative numbers for the distance in meters.
- If the user selects an invalid choice from the menu, the program should display an error message.
Here is an example session with the program, using console input. The user’s input is shown in bold.
Enter a distance in meters: 500 [Enter]
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 1 [Enter]
500 meters is 0.5 kilometers.
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 3 [Enter]
500 meters is 1640.5 feet.
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 4 [Enter]
Bye!

3. Describe an algorithm for finding the occurrence of the max element in an array. Analyze the
complexity of the algorithm.
4. What is Divide-and-Conquer? What is the difference between Divide-and-Conquer and Dynamic
Programming? What are the benefits of using one over another if any?
5. Is it possible to design an algorithm for finding the max element in a list using Divide-and-Conquer?
What is the complexity of this algorithm?
Hint: In this approach, the initial array is divided into two halves...
b) Programming assignment:
Implement initiative / naïve method to find a max element in an array.
Implement the method that uses the Divide-and-Conquer approach to find the max element in an array.
Test both…
9. Given the following Boolean Function:
F(P, Q, R) = PQ+QR+PR
F(P,Q,R)
(i) Derive the canonical SOP (sum of minterms) for F.
(ii) Derive the canonical POS (product of maxterms) for F.
(iii) Draw the truth table, clearly marking which rows are minterms of F and
which rows correspond to maxterms of F.
10) For n Boolean variables, how many distinct Boolean functions exist? Give the answer as a
function of n and briefly justify it.
Please Show an Example in R:
Find (or invent) some data (not from the “Data” directory supplied with EssentialR) and import it into R. (It is not a bad idea to include a commented line with units for each variable in your .txt or.csv file). a) What did you have to do to “clean it up” so it would read in? b) Are you satisfied with the console output of summary(yourdata)? Did all the variables import in the way (format) you thought they should? c) Include the output of summary(yourdata) and head(yourdata).
