Lecture 54: Project 1

MathIQ.java

Write a program that asks the user to enter

the numbers, 8 and 2. The program must

then perform three calculations and print out

as answer the three values as follows:

‘16106’.

Example: 8 + 2 = 16106



BMI.java

Write a program that asks the user for their

‘weight’ and ‘height’. The program must then

calculate the user’s body mass index (BMI).

Based on this BMI the program must print out

if the user is ‘underweight’, ‘normal weight’,

or ‘obese’.



CompanyX.java

Write a program for CompanyX to calculate how

much to pay the company's hourly workers. The

national Department of Labour requires that

workers be paid 1.5 times for any hours more than

40 that they work in a week. Furthermore, it is a

legal requirement that hourly workers be paid a

minimum of $10.00 per hour. CompanyX requires

that workers should work for a maximum of 50

hours in a week.202 Marius Claassen, 2017


FizzBuzz.java

Write a method that prints all numbers between 1

and n, replacing multiples of 3 with the String

‘Fizz’, multiples of 5 with ‘Buzz’, and multiples of

15 with ‘FizzBuzz’.
