Problem 2

Continuation of HW2, Problem 2: Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) budgeting.

This problem will help your program be more usable and flexible. Apply the following improvements to your code so it does the following:

1. Ask the user for the required budget. (In HW2, we assumed that it takes $3,000 to travel to a solar eclipse. Some people would like to buy camera and gear, so we want them to define their own required budget)          
2. Ask the user to input their daily savings rate starting from 1-1-2018.
3. Ask the user to input their initial savings. (How much money you start with on 1-1-2018. Note that you started with a balance of zero dollars in the past homework.)
4. Using loops and if statements, identify all future total solar eclipse events that you will be able to afford to go to.

Test your code using these parameters:

• Required budget= $4000
• Daily Savings (starting from January 1^st 2018= $4
• Initial savings= $200

How many eclipse events can you choose to attend out of the next 6 upcoming eclipses?

5. [Extra credit +25pts] Using an if statement, adjust your program to print an appropriate response if the savings budget won’t allow you to attend any of the upcoming eclipses. Note if you did this in the Comment for grader box.

Self check: the output should look like this:

With a required budget of $4000, you can attend the following total solar eclipse(s):

A total solar eclipse that occurs at 10xx days with a savings balance of $4x1x

A total solar eclipse that occurs at 14xx days with a savings balance of $5xx6

A total solar eclipse that occurs at 1xxx days with a savings balance of $7xx8

A total solar eclipse that occurs at 2xxx days with a savings balance of $9xx0

A total solar eclipse that occurs at 3x4x days with a savings balance of $12xxx

ANSWER:

I have provided the properly commented and indented code so you can easily copy the code as well as check for correct indentation.
I have provided the output image of the code so you can easily cross-check for the correct output of the code.
Have a nice and healthy day!!

CODE

% a. Ask the user for the required budget. using input function,
budget = input("Please enter your own budget: ");

% b. Ask the user to input their daily savings rate starting from 1-1-2018.
saving = input("Please enter your daily saavings rate(starting from 1-1-2018): ");

% c. Ask the user to input their initial savings
ini_saving = input("Please enter your initial savings(on 1-1-2018): ");

% d. Future total solar eclipse events that you will be afford to go to
% As not provided, defining own solar eclipse events with required budgets
% defining vector of days after solor eclipse event will fall from 1-1-2018
days_after = [100,200,300,400,500,600];
% required budget to travel
req_budget = [400,900,1700,1800,2300,2500];

% looping for each event and checking if user can attend the event or not
% defining counter to record no. of events user can attend
events = 0;
for i=1:6
    day = days_after(i);
    required_bud = req_budget(i);
    
    % calculating saving of user till date
    saving_till_event = ini_saving + day*saving;
    
    % checking if saving fullfill required_bud
    if saving_till_event>= required_bud
        % user can attend the event
        % incrementing even t counter by 1
        events = events+1;
    end
end

% displaying result
fprintf("With a initial saving of $%d and per day saving of $%d, user can attend %d events.\n",ini_saving,saving,events);
