CS 317 Computer Science I Lionel M. Holguin Jr.
8 Sept 2011 Chapter 2 Assignment
1. (50 Points) Write a C++ program that will output this passage by Dr. Seuss. Make sure your
output looks exactly as shown here (including spacing, line breaks, punctuation, and the title and
author).
When a fox is in the bottle
where the tweetle beetles battle
with their paddles in a puddle
on a noodle-eating poodle,
THIS is what they call...
... a tweetle beetle noodle poodle
bottled paddled muddled duddled
fuddled wuddled fox in socks, sir!
-- from "Fox in Socks" by Dr. Seuss
Hints and tips:
To make your output continue on a new line, try this as part of your cout statement: <<
endl (that's short for end line).
To include a quotation mark in your output, try this: \"
2. (50 Points) Write a program that asks the user to enter a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit,
then prints out the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius.
Temperatures aren't always whole numbers (example: body temperature 98.6°F) so use decimal
numbers and float variables in this program.
For the sample output you hand in, run the program at least twice, including once with a decimal
number as the input.
Please include your source files, executable files and a screenshot of your program after execution.
Make a folder for each program then move your files into the respective folder zip all the folders and
then turn them in thru Blackboard.
Extra Credit
For 5 points: Make your program round off the Celsius temperature to the nearest tenth
(example: 23.8° Celsius). See "Output Formatting" in textbook section 3.9 for help.
For 5 more points: Besides everything described above, also write a second program that prints
out a °F to °C conversion table. Show temperatures from -50.0°F to 120.0°F in 10.0° increments.
