Question 3 [15]

Create a class name Charity Hospital which will calculate the gift amount for the donors based on
the donation amount as given in the following table.

Donation amount Gift amount

<=50,000 10% of the Donation amount

>50,000 and <=1,00,000 2000+ 15% of the donation amount greater than Rs.50,000

>1,00,000 Rs.5000+ 20% of the donation amount greater then Rs.1,00,000

There can be 2 types of donors A-annual donors and O-one time donors.
If they are annual donors then an additional 5% is added to the gift amount and an additional 2% is
added to the gift amount if they are one time donors.
Write a program to calculate the Gift amount and print it in the following format.
Class name : CharityHospital
Data members : Name of the donor(n),
type of donors(t),
Donation amount(da)
mobile number(mob),
Gift amount(gf)

CharityHospital(): Constructor to initialize the data members

void Accept() : To accept name of the donor, type (t),donation amount and the mobile number
void cal_Amount(): To calculate the Gift amount based the table and store it in the gift amount(gf)
void Add_amount(): To add additional gift amount depending on the type of donors void Display():

To print all the details in the following format:

Name : ------ Mobile no.: -------- Type of donor : -----

Donation Amount : ----------- Gift Amount: ----------

Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.

Question 4 [15]
Write a program to store the names of any 10 elements of the Periodic table in the string type array
along with their atomic number in an integer array. Sort the element in Ascending order of their
atomic number using any standard sorting technique and display the names of elements along with
their atomic number after sorting.
For example:
Input Array1: Ca Fe Li Na(elements of the periodic table)
Array2: 20 26 3 11(corresponding atomic number)

Output: Sorted elements with respect to their atomic number

Array1: Li Na Ca Fe
Array2: 3 11 20 26

b. void compare(char,char) - to compare the numeric values of two characters and print the character
with higher numeric value.
c. void compare(String, String) - to compare the length of the two strings and print the longer of the
two.

 void Pattern(String s): To print the characters of the string s which are not repeating

Eg: success characters to be printed u,e

void Pattern(): to print the following pattern

palindrome or not. A palindrome is a word which reads the same backward as forward.

Example: MADAM, racecar etc.
