Question

C++: Samantha and Vikas are looking to buy a house in a new development. After looking at various models, the three models they like are colonial, split entry, and single-story. The builder gave them the base price and the finished area in square feet of the three models. They want to know the model(s) with the least price per square foot. Write a program that accepts as input the base price and the finished area in square feet of the three models. The program outputs the model(s) with the least price per square foot. noncompiling (-28) - no documentation(-5) - weak documentation (-3) Not qualifying user input clearly (-2) - Must use an iflelse if/else if (or if else if/else) statement to check for cheapest by square foot. Each should use a logical and, plus 2 relational operators (-4 if not) Having any additional if/else if blocks or multiple if statements (-4) - Incorrect Output (should only have to output the option that is the cheapest per square foot) (-3 for each instance). Run 3 times, making each option the cheapest to ensure proper execution of the if TEST RUNS col = 100000, 1000, split-200000, 1000, single-300000, 1000; col 300000, 1000; split 200000, 1000; single 400000, 1000; col 400000, 1000; split 500000, 1000; single 300000, 1000; OUTPUT IS COLONIAL OUTPUT IS SPLIT-ENTRY OUTPUT IS SINGLE-STORY

Answer 1

Below is the C++ program that satisfies the above functionality. Please copy the below program in your editor and test.

PriceCalculation.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int colonialprice,splitprice,singleprice,
colonialArea,splitArea,singleArea,
colonialTotalPrice,splitTotalPrice,singleTotalPrice;
  
cout<<"Enter Colonial base price :";
cin>>colonialprice;
cout<<"Enter Colonial Finished Area :";
cin>>colonialArea;
cout<<"Enter Split entry base price :";
cin>>splitprice;
cout<<"Enter Split entry Finished Area :";
cin>>splitArea;
cout<<"Enter Single Entry base price :";
cin>>singleprice;
cout<<"Enter Single Entry Finished Area : ";
cin>>singleArea;
colonialTotalPrice =colonialprice *colonialArea;
splitTotalPrice = splitprice*splitArea;
singleTotalPrice = singleprice*singleArea;
if((colonialTotalPrice<splitTotalPrice)&&(colonialTotalPrice<singleTotalPrice)){
cout<<"House type with least price per square foot : COLONIAL";
}else if((splitTotalPrice<colonialTotalPrice)&&(splitTotalPrice<singleTotalPrice)){
cout<<"House type with least price per square foot : SPLIT-ENTRY";
}else if((singleTotalPrice<colonialTotalPrice)&&(singleTotalPrice<splitTotalPrice)){
cout<<"House type with least price per square foot : SINGLE-ENTRY";
}
cout<<endl;
}

Output 1:

Output 2:

Output 3:
