QUESTION 3 (15 marks)

a. Given the code fragment.

int main()
{
float taxRate = 0.06;
float price, taxAmt;
char type;

cout << “Enter product’s price : ”;

cin >> price;
cout << “Enter product’s price : ”;
cin >> type;

taxAmt = calcTax(price, taxRate, type)

cout << “The gst amount is ” << taxAmt << endl;

return 0;
}

Based on the code fragment, write the function prototype to declare function
calcTax(). Then, write the complete definition for function calcTax(). This function
calculates the amount of goods and service tax, then returns the tax amount to caller
function.

Tax is imposed on all types of products except product with type ‘F’. If the product code
is ‘F’, the tax amount is zero.

The tax amount is calculated using the following formula:

Tax amount = price * tax rate

(6 marks)

b. Write the functions definitions for function OddEven() that takes one argument of type
integer. The function returns the character value ‘O’ if its argument is an odd number and
returns ‘E’ if its argument is an even number.

c. Determine the output of the following code.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void MyFunc (int& m)

{
int n=2;
if (m % 2 == 0)
{
n++;
m=m+5;
}
else
{
n--;
m=m+3;
}
cout << m << ", " << n << endl;
}
int main()
{
int num=9;
for (int counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++)
{
num=num+counter;
MyFunc (num);
}
return 0;
}
