1. From Lewis & Loftus
a. Page 56 (“programming projects section”): 1.1, 1.3
b. Page 120 (“exercises”): 2.2, 2.6 (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, n, o, p, q)
c. Page 123 (“programming projects”): 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.11
2. Write a Java program that computes the letter grade associated with student based
on a numeric grade value. The program will read the numeric grade of the student
and will compute a letter grade using the following cutoff values:
Letter Grade Cutoff
A 90.0
B 80.0
C 70.0
D 60.0
Any student with a numeric grade value lower than 60.0 will have F as letter
grade.
3. Note: This problem was last semester’s quiz. The solution has been provided at
the end.
Write a Java program that prompts the user for two values, computes the average
of the values and generates a message based on the computed average. The
message “Satisfactory” will be output if the average is greater or equal to 70.0 and
“Unsatisfactory” otherwise. The following restrictions/assumptions apply to this
problem:
