Help With A Program. I Dont Know Where To Begin. PLZ HELP ME
-
Ok, I have to do 3 programs for school and I am completely lost on how to start either of them off. If somebody could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the info about the programs. 1. Population Create a New Project called YourLastnamePopulation. In a population, the birth rate is the percentage increase of the population due to births and the death rate is the percentage decrease of the population due to deaths. Write a program that displays the size of a population for any number of years. The program should ask for the following data: · The starting size of a population · The annual birth rate · The annual death rate · The number of years to display Write a function that calculates the size of the population for a year. The formula is N = P + BP + DP Where N is the new population size, P is the previous population size, B is the birth rate, and D is the death rate. Input Validation: Do not accept numbers less than 2 for the starting size. Do not accept negative numbers for birth rate or death rate. Do not accept numbers less than 1 for the number of years. 2. Lowest Score Drop Create a New Project called YourLastnameLowestScore. Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions: · void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called from main once for each of the five scores to be entered. · void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main, and should be passed the five scores. · int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100. 3. Overloaded Hospital Create a New Project called YourLastnameHospital. Write a program that computes and displays the charges for a patient’s hospital stay. First, the program should ask if the patient was admitted as an in-patient or an out-patient. If the patient was an in-patient, the following data should be entered: · The number of days spent in the hospital · The daily rate · Hospital medication charges · Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.) The program should ask for the following data if the pati

I suggest starting with problem
1, then problem2, finally ending with problem3. :rolleyes:If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Start by knowing that "either" is a choice made between two things, not three. That aside, you should be able to at least get started on any one of these. While you may need help with some of the details, you can't be in a programming course and not know how to start a project (regardless of whether it is pretty or even produces the correct result). I see that your question has been asked elsewhere. See here and here.
