1) IF or Case - Tall or Short Program
a) When asked most older people can easily state their height in terms of inches or feet and
inches (imperial system). Now the standard is to use the metric system. On our drivers
license our height is stated in centimeters. Note that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
You have been asked to prepare the pseudo-code and then write the "interactive" program
which requests a person's name and their height in inches. The program would then print
their height in centimeters along with the person's name and other identifying information.
Program Specifications:
For example: Please enter your name. Hi Marie!
What is your height in inches? 70
Marie, your height is 177.8 centimeters.
b) To provide more flexibility, you are asked to modify your pseudo-code and program for
the above problem to allow a person to enter their height in feet and inches. Also, you are
asked to identify anyone with a height greater than 180 centimeters by a message "You are
above the average in height" as an output. You can also include messages for shorter
people. Remember to include prompts for requesting the height in both feet and inches.

4) Golfing - Case
Create the following interface.
The game of
golf has many
rules and
regulations as
well as
etiquette. The
main focus of
golf is the final
score that was
shot during the
day. For
example a
golfer will say

holes even exceed a par 5.
For example the first hole, is a par 4. The player, to get a good score, must try to use 4 or
less strokes to get the golf ball into the hole.
The player has shot a 3. So the Difference from par is -1. This is calculated by Score - Par,
3-4= -1. The player is 1 under par. This is termed a birdie. An eagle is two under par.
If the player took 5 shots to get the golf ball into the hole. The player is 1 over. Again Score
- Par, 5 -4 =1. This is termed a boggie. Two over is termed a double boggie.
