 Make-Up Midterm Exam
COURSE NAME : INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SCIENCE
COURSE CODE : CS-111 | COM-101 MARKS: [ 20 ] Time: [ 30 mins ]

Name: ...................................................................................... ID:

Q.1 Answer the following question: [ 20 MARKS ]

You are tasked with creating a basic C program that simulates a simple discount calculator for a
store. The program should provide a menu of three discount options: 10%, 20%, and 30%. Users
will be prompted to choose a discount, enter the original price of an item, and then receive the
discounted price. Your program should adhere to the following program requirements:
 Macro for Maximum Options: Define a macro named NUM_OPTIONS with a value of 3 to specify
the number of available discount options.
 Variable Declarations: Declare the following variables of different data types:
o float originalPrice and discountedPrice to store, respectively, the original price and the
discounted price of the item.
Discount Options:
o int discountChoice to store the user's choice of discount.
1. 10%
 Menu Display: Display a menu of discount options as follows:
2. 20%
3. 30%

 Choice Input: Prompt the user to choose a discount and read their choice.
 Error Handling: Ensure that the choice is within the range of 1 to NUM_OPTIONS (using an if
statement). If the user's input is NOT a valid choice, print an error message: "Invalid choice. Exiting
program.", and exit the program while returning an error code of 1.
 Price Input: Prompt the user to enter the original price of the item and read it.
 Error Handling: Ensure that the original price is a positive value (using an if statement). If the
original price is NOT a valid positive value, the program prints an error message: "Invalid price.
Exiting program.", and exits while returning an error code of 1.
 Discount Calculation: Calculate the discounted price based on the user's choice using only
conditional expressions (without using if statements, switch statements, or conditional/ternary
operators).
 Result Display: Display the discounted price with exactly two decimal places.
 Program Exit: Exit the program with a success code of 0.
 Example:
Discount Options:
1. 10%
2. 20%
3. 30%
Choose a discount (1-3): 1
Enter the original price: 100
Discounted Price: $90.00

_________________________________________________________________________________

#include <stdio.h>
#define NUM_OPTIONS 3

int main() {
float originalPrice, discountedPrice;
int discountChoice;

// Display discount options menu

printf("Discount Options:\n"); printf("1. 10%%\n2. 20%%\n3. 30%%\n");

// Prompt user for discount choice

printf("Choose a discount (1-%d): ", NUM_OPTIONS);
scanf("%d", &discountChoice);

// Validate discount choice

if (discountChoice < 1 || discountChoice > NUM_OPTIONS) {
printf("Invalid choice. Exiting program.\n"); return 1;
} // Exit with an error code

// Prompt user for original price

printf("Enter the original price: "); scanf("%f", &originalPrice);

// Validate original price

if (originalPrice <= 0) {
printf("Invalid price. Exiting program.\n"); return 1;
} // Exit with an error code

// Calculate discounted price based on user's choice

discountedPrice = (discountChoice == 1) * originalPrice * 0.9 +
(discountChoice == 2) * originalPrice * 0.8 + (discountChoice == 3) *
originalPrice * 0.7;

// Display the discounted price with two decimal places

printf("Discounted Price: $%.2f\n", discountedPrice);

return 0; // Exit with success code

}
