Class name Eshop

Member variables:
String name: Name of the item purchased.
double price: Price of the item purchased.

Member methods
void accept(): Accept the name and price of the item using the Scanner class.
void calculate(): To calculate the net amount to be paid by a customer, based on
following criteria:

Price Discount
1000- 25000 5.0%
25001-57000 7.5%
57001-100000 10.0%

Question 5 [15]
Write a program to accept a sentence and print only the first letter of each word of the
sentence in capital letters separated by a full stop.
Example :
INPUT SENTENCE: “This is a cat”

words which are Palindrome.
Sample Input: MADAM, TEACHER, SCHOOL, ABBA, .........
Sample Output: MADAM ABBA .......... ..........

Question 7 [15]
Define a class to accept a four-digit number and check if it is a USHWA number or not.
The number is said to be USHWA if:
Sum of all digits= 2× (sum of first and last digit)
Example 1: n =1234
Sum of first and last digit = 1+4=5
Sum of all digits =1+2+3+4=10
Sample output: It is a USHWA number
Example 2: If the input value is 354, then an error message should be given.

Question 8 [15]
Define a class to overload the function print as follows:
void print(): to print the following format
1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5
void print(int n): To check whether the number is a lead number. A lead number
is the one whose sum of even digits are equal to sum of odd
digits. e.g. 3669
odd digits sum = 3 + 9 = 12
even digits sum = 6 + 6 = 12
3669 is a lead number
void print(char ch, int a): If ch=s or S print the square of the number and if ch=c or C
print the cube of the number.
