a) The volume of sphere using the formula:

(2 marks)
b) Extract the last three digits of the integer stocknumber and assign to p r i c e with a
decimal point before the last two digits, (e.g. if stocknumber is 1758316, the last three
digits are 316, therefore, p r i c e is assigned the value of 3 .16)

PARTB (30 MARKS)

QUESTION 1
Write a program that calculates and displays values for y when
y = xz(x - z)
Your program should calculate y for values of x ranging between l and 5 and values of z
ranging between 2 and 6. The x variable should control the outer loop and be incremented
in steps of 1 and z should be incremented in steps of l . Your program should also display
the message " F u n c t i o n Undefined" when the x and y values are equal. The output of
your program should look like the following. (Note: you are required to use programmerdefined functions in your program)

QUESTION 2
The expansion of a steel bridge as it is heated to a final Celsius temperature, TF from an
initial Celsius temperature, To can be approximated using the formula
Increase in length = a * L* (TF -To)
where a is a coefficient of expansion (which for steel is 11.7 e-6) and L is the length of a
bridge at temperature To. Using this formula, write a C++ program that displays a table of
expansion lengths for a steel bridge that is 7365 meters long at 0 degrees Celsius, as the
temperature increases to 40 degrees in 5 degree increments. (Note: you are required to
use programmer-defined functions in your program)
