9. Enter the program on page 42. Run and save your program to disk.
10. Use Qbasic to draw a house. The house needs to have the following minimal features:
    • Pitched roof.
    • Window with four window panes.
    • Door with door knob.
    • Walls

    The following Qbasic commands will be helpful:

    • SCREEN 12
      This sets the output into graphics mode with 16 colors and corner coordinates of:

      (0,0)	--	(320,0)	--	(640,0)
      |		|		|
      (0,230)	--	(320,230)	--	(640,230)
      |		|		|
      (0,460)	--	(320,460)	--	(640,460)

    • LINE(X1,Y1)-(X2,Y2),color
      This command draws a line from (X₁,Y₁) to (X₂,Y₂) in color.
    • LINE -(X1,Y1),color
      This command draws a line from the last point to (X₁,Y₁) in color.
    • LINE(X1,Y1)-(X2,Y2), color, B
      This command draws a rectangle with (X₁,Y₁) and (X₂,Y₂) as opposite corners in color.
    • CIRCLE(X,Y),radius,color
      This command draws a circle of radius at (X,Y) in color.
    • PAINT(X,Y),color,boundry
      This command fills the area bounded by color boundry with color starting at coordinate (X,Y).
    Note: Most of the above commands have other options.

    The colors are as follows:

    0	Black
    1	Blue
    2	Green
    3	Cyan
    4	Red
    5	Magenta
    6	Yellow
    7	White
    8	Gray
    9	Light Blue
    10	Light Green
    11	Light Cyan
    12	Light Red
    13	Light Magenta
    14	Light Yellow
    15	Bright White

11. Turn your house into a neighborhood. To do this follow this sequence.
    1. Scale all of your X and Y coordinates. For example: (210*S+X,311*S+Y). If you set S=1, X=0, and Y=0 your house will be unchanged. If you set S=.1, your house will be on tenth the size on both the X axis and the Y axis.
    2. Place the program in nested FOR loops for X & Y.

       LET S=.1
       FOR X = 0 TO 620 STEP 60
       FOR Y = 0 TO 420 STEP 40
        Your House Program 
       NEXT Y
       NEXT X
       

    3. You can also PAINT your houses different colors using the MOD operator.

       PAINT (210*S+X,311*S+Y) (X+Y) MOD 15, 15
       

12. Do program 3 on page 179. From the textbook..

    Table 5.12 gives the 1998 federal income tax rate schedule for a single taxpayers. Write a program that requests the taxable income and calculates the federal income tax. Use a subprogram for the input and a function to calculate the tax.

    $0	$25,350	15%	$0
    $25,350	$61,400	$3,802.50 + 28%	$25,350
    $61,400	$128,100	$13,896.50 + 31%	$61,400
    $128,100	$278,450	$33,573.50 + 36%	$128,100
    $278,450		$86,699.50 + 39.6%	$228,450

13. Do program 10 on page 231.

    The Twelve Days of Christmas. Each year, Provident National Bank of Philadelphia publishes a Christmas price list. See Table 6.12. Write a program that requests an integer from 1 to 12 and then lists the gifts for that day along with that day's cost. On the nth day, the n gifts are 1 partridge in a pear tree, 2 turtle doves, ..., n of the nth item. The program also should give the total cost of all twelve days. A sample output is as follows:
