Prompt: Little Mac is an interplanetary space boxer, who is trying to win championship belts for various weight categories on other planets within the solar system. Write a space.cpp program that helps him keep track of his target weight by:
- It should ask him what his earth weight is.
- Ask him to enter a number for the planet he wants to fight on.
- It should then compute his weight on the destination planet.
Here is the table of conversion:
| num | Planet | Relative Gravity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mercury | 0.38 |
| 2 | Venus | 0.91 |
| 3 | Mars | 0.38 |
| 4 | Jupiter | 2.34 |
| 5 | Saturn | 1.06 |
| 6 | Uranus | 0.92 |
| 7 | Neptune | 1.19 |

Prompt: Let’s try a challenging problem that will put all your brain cells to the test.
Write a leap_year.cpp program that:
- Takes a year as input.
- Checks to see if the year is a four-digit number.
- Displays whether or not the year falls on a leap year.
There are 3 criteria that must be taken into account to identify a leap year:
- If the year can be evenly divided by 4 then it is a leap year, however…
- If that year can be evenly divided by 100, and it is not evenly divided by 400, then it is NOT a leap year.
- If that year is evenly divisible by 400, then it is a leap year.
Take some time to research and brainstorm before starting to write the code!

Write a program to find the sum of even numbers and the product of odd numbers in a vector.
For example:
Suppose we have a vector that is {2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 9}.
Then the program should output:
Sum of even numbers is 12 Product of odd numbers is 27
