WEEK 3 EXERCISE

Exercise 1: Check if a Number is Positive, Negative, or Zero

Question: Write a program that takes a number as input and checks if it’s positive, negative, or zero.
Display a message for each case.

Solution:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int number;

cout << "Enter a number: ";

cin >> number;

if (number > 0) {

cout << "The number is positive." << endl;

} else if (number < 0) {

cout << "The number is negative." << endl;

} else {

cout << "The number is zero." << endl;

return 0;

Exercise 2: Find the Largest of Three Numbers

Question: Write a program that takes three numbers as input and finds the largest of the three using if-
else statements.

Solution:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int a, b, c;

cout << "Enter three numbers: ";

cin >> a >> b >> c;

if (a >= b && a >= c) {

cout << "The largest number is: " << a << endl;

} else if (b >= a && b >= c) {

cout << "The largest number is: " << b << endl;

} else {

cout << "The largest number is: " << c << endl;

return 0;

Exercise 3: Grade Calculator

Question: Write a program that asks for a student's score and assigns a grade based on the following
criteria:

 90 and above: Grade A

 80 to 89: Grade B

 70 to 79: Grade C

 60 to 69: Grade D

 Below 60: Grade F

Solution:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int score;
 cout << "Enter your score: ";

cin >> score;

if (score >= 90) {

cout << "Grade: A" << endl;

} else if (score >= 80) {

cout << "Grade: B" << endl;

} else if (score >= 70) {

cout << "Grade: C" << endl;

} else if (score >= 60) {

cout << "Grade: D" << endl;

} else {

cout << "Grade: F" << endl;

return 0;

Exercise 4: Menu-based Calculator

Question: Write a program that takes two numbers and performs addition, subtraction, multiplication,
or division based on user choice using a switch statement.

Solution:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int choice;

float num1, num2;

cout << "Enter two numbers: ";

cin >> num1 >> num2;

cout << "Choose an operation:\n";

cout << "1. Addition\n";

cout << "3. Multiplication\n";

cout << "4. Division\n";

cin >> choice;

switch (choice) {

case 1:

cout << "Result: " << num1 + num2 << endl;

break;

case 2:

cout << "Result: " << num1 - num2 << endl;

break;

case 3:

cout << "Result: " << num1 * num2 << endl;

break;

case 4:

if (num2 != 0) {

cout << "Result: " << num1 / num2 << endl;

} else {

cout << "Error: Division by zero is not allowed." << endl;

break;

default:

cout << "Invalid choice!" << endl;

return 0;

Exercise 5: Check if a Year is a Leap Year

Solution:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int year;

cout << "Enter a year: ";

cin >> year;

if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)) {

cout << year << " is a leap year." << endl;

} else {

cout << year << " is not a leap year." << endl;

return 0;

}
programs questions for Week 3 concepts, focusing on decision control structures:

1. Positive or Negative: Write a program that checks if a given number is positive, negative, or zero.

2. Even or Odd: Create a program that takes a number as input and determines if it is even or odd.

3. Largest of Three Numbers: Write a program that accepts three numbers and displays the largest
among them.

4. Grade Calculator: Create a program that assigns a grade (A, B, C, D, or F) based on a student's score.

5. Leap Year Checker: Write a program that checks if a given year is a leap year.

6. Voter Eligibility: Develop a program that checks if a person is eligible to vote based on their age (must
be 18 or older).

7. Simple Calculator: Write a program that performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division
based on the user's choice.

8. Day of the Week: Create a program that takes a number (1-7) and displays the corresponding day of
the week.

9. Character Checker: Write a program that checks if a character is a vowel or a consonant.

10. Number Comparison: Develop a program that accepts two numbers and displays whether they are
equal, or which one is greater.

11. Discount Calculator: Write a program that calculates a discount based on the amount spent. Apply a
10% discount if the amount is over 1000.
12. Pass or Fail: Create a program that checks if a student has passed or failed based on their score
(passing score is 50).

13. Temperature Converter: Write a program that converts a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or
Fahrenheit to Celsius based on the user's choice.

14. Electricity Bill Calculator: Develop a program that calculates the total bill based on units consumed.
Charge different rates per unit based on consumption.
