C PROGRAMMING

Introduction

In this part, you will solve a problem described in English. Although you may discuss ideas with your classmates, etc., everyone must write and submit their own version of the program. Do NOT use anyone else’s code, as this will result in a zero for you and the other person!

Shipping Calculator

Speedy Shipping Company will ship your package based on the weight and how far you are sending the package, which can be anywhere in the universe. They will only ship small packages up to 10 pounds. You need to have a program, which will help you determine how much they will charge.

The charges are based on each 500 miles shipped. The mileage should be in whole numbers. They are not prorated, i.e., 600 miles is the same charge as 900 miles; in other words, 600 and 900 miles is counted as 2 segments of 500 miles each.

Here is the table they gave you:

Package Weight Rate per 500 miles shipped	Charge
2 pounds or less	$1.50
More than 2 but not more than 6	$3.70
More than 6 but not more than 10	$5.25

Your code needs to validate the input completely, e.g., the weight and mile amounts must be positive. If an input is invalid, e.g., the weight is zero or less, you should display an appropriate, professional error message, e.g., Error: Weight must be greater than zero!, which should be offset and surrounded by white space, so it stands out, and repeat getting that input until valid input is received. Keep in mind, the user will find it annoying if they must enter both the miles and weight at the same time, and only one of them caused an error, or they must reenter already valid data; see the Sample Run. Only if all the input is valid, should the program calculate and display one shipping charge, and pause, but not quit, before proceeding to a new customer.

At this point for the code, you should only solve the problem using what you learned from modules 1 – 6, i.e., NO arrays, etc. Make sure you divide your program into multiple functions, i.e., each function solves one problem, and main() ties them all together. Also, make sure you follow the Code Conventions and good programming practices, e.g., appropriately initialize variables to zeros, avoid stacked if or if-else constructs unless necessary, don’t use break, continue, etc. to get out of a loop, goto, a return statement more than once at the end per function, etc. Your test cases should test the various possibilities, and the limits of the program, which means, you will need to use an appropriate loop, which will ask if you would like to process the next customer or not by asking them to enter an appropriate value. Once there are no more customers to process, the program should display Good-bye! and end.

Hints: You may need to reset any values after you display the answer and before you get the input for the next customer. Big Helpful Hint: For the number of segments formula, you may want to start with integer division, e.g., 1200 miles / 500 miles per segment = 2 segments, and then, expand on that. What do you need to do to the calculation to get the correct number of segments, e.g., > 1 to 500 is 1 segment, 501 to 1000 is 2 segments, 1001 to 1500 is 3 segments, etc. You cannot solve this one with nested if-else constructs; try, pattern analysis.

You should be able to solve this problem with only one loop. Although you can easily solve this with multiple nested loops, the challenge is to solve it using one loop; see the following Sample Run.

Sample Run

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 0

        Error: Miles must be greater than zero!

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 1

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 0

        Error: Weight must be greater than zero!

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 1

The cost to ship your package is: $1.50.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 500

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 2

The cost to ship your package is: $1.50.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 500

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 2.1

The cost to ship your package is: $3.70.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 500

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 6

The cost to ship your package is: $3.70.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 500

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 10.1

        Error: We don't ship packages over 10 pounds!

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 10

The cost to ship your package is: $5.25.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 501

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 3.75

The cost to ship your package is: $7.40.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 1000

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 6.1

The cost to ship your package is: $10.50.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 1

Enter the number of miles as a whole number: 12450

Enter the weight of the package in pounds: 1

The cost to ship your package is: $37.50.

Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: 0

Good-bye!

You should make your program work and look like the above. Use the following tables to design and test your program.

Input	Process	Output

Test Case 1

Input Data	Expected Results
Weight:               1.5 pounds Miles:                  200 miles (This is one 500-mile segment.)	Your shipping charge is $1.50.

Test Case 2

Input Data	Expected Results
Weight:               5.6 pounds Miles:                  1200 miles (This is three 500-mile segments.)	Your shipping charge is $11.10.

Answer 1

The following code perfectly works for all your test cases.

There are loops only for taking proper input and for repeating the process as long as the user clicks 1.

It works in linear time complexity only.

#include <stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
int m=0,ch;
double s,n,c;
float w=0;
do{
while(m<=0)
{
printf("Enter the number of miles as a whole number:");
scanf("%d",&m);
if(m<=0)
printf(" Error: Miles must be greater than zero!");
}
while(w<=0)
{
printf("Enter the weight of the package in pounds: ");
scanf("%f",&w);
if(w<=0)
printf(" Error: Weight must be greater than zero!");
}
if(m%500==0)
n=m/500;
else
n=m/500+1;
printf("%f",n);
if(w<=2.0)
{
c=n*1.50;
}
else if(w>2.0 && w<=6.0)
{
c=n*3.70;
}
else if(w>6.0 && w<=10.0)
{
c=n*5.25;
}
else
{
printf(" Error: We don't ship packages over 10 pounds!");
}
printf("The cost to ship your package is: $%.2f",c);
printf("Enter 1 to continue or 0 to quit: ");
scanf("%d",&ch);
}while(ch==1);
printf("Good bye!");
return 0;
}

Feel free to ask me if you have any further doubt on this.

I have checked the code for all the test cases provided by you and it works fine on all of them.

Let me know If I have not et any other criteria.I will make it for you.
