Question

In this assignment, you will develop a C++ program which calculates a shipping charge and determines the “type of trip” for a freight shipping company.

Ask the user to enter the distance a package is to be shipped, and use a menu and a switch statement to determine the rate based on the package’s weight. Then display the shipping charge and using the table in #7 below, display the type of trip.

Below is the chart to use to calculate the shipping charges.

       Freight Shipping Company Rates

       ______________________________________________________________

       Weight of Package (pounds)           Rate per 500 miles shipped

       _______________________________________________________________

       10 pounds or less                    $1.10

       Over 10 pounds but not more than 20 $2.30

       Over 20 pounds but not more than 35 $3.60

       Over 35 pounds but not more than 50 $4.90

       _______________________________________________________________

       NOTICE: We do not ship packages over 50 pounds

               We do not ship less than 10 miles or more than 15,000 miles

Requirements for your program:

1.The output must be labeled and easy to read.

2.Validate that the distance can’t be less than 10 miles and more than 15,000 miles.

3.Use a logical operator when validating the distance to be shipped.

4.Display a menu of rate choices (similar to the chart above) so the user can choose the appropriate rate based on the package weight. Have the user enter a choice from the menu and use a switch statement to select and assign the rate.

5.Calculate the number of segments (a segment is 500 miles). Round uneven segments, i.e., segments not evenly divisible by 500, up to the next whole number (hint: use modulus or ceil).

6.There is a “long haul charge” of 50 cents per segment if the trip is over 20 segments.  

7.The shipping charge is the number of segments times the shipping rate plus any long haul charge.

8.Use “if-else” and/or “else-if” and/or “switch” statements to determine the “type of trip” based on the segments and this table:

1 to 10 segments: type of trip is a “short haul”

11 to 20 segments: type of trip is a “medium haul”

21 to 30 segments: type of trip is a “long haul”

Provide two screen prints:

the user enters 12,300 miles distance and selects a rate for shipping a 35 pound package.

The user enters 1,050 miles distance and selects a rate for shipping a 10 pound package.

Display:

-the distance entered

-the selected rate

-the number of segments

-the package’s shipping charge

-the “type of trip”
