Question 1 for strings

a) Write a function named longest_common_prefix that takes two strings and returns the longest common prefix of the two strings. For example, the longest common prefix of distance and disinfection is dis. If the two strings have no common longest common prefix, the method returns an empty string.

b) Write a function named reverse that takes a string argument and returns its reverse. For example, reverse(‘I am testing’) should return the string ‘gnitset ma I’. Use iteration for this and answers using slicing will not be accepted. Imma like... what.

c) Write a function named check_password that checks whether a string is a valid password. Return True if it is a valid password and False otherwise. The password rules are as follows:

• A password must have at least 8 characters.

• A password must consist of only letters and digits.

• A password must contain at least two digits.

Two dice are thrown.

Let A be the event that an odd number is obtained on the first dice, B be the event that the number obtained is greater than 5 on the first dice, C be the event that the number obtained on the second dice is smaller than 5, and D be the event that the sum of the two numbers obtained is 8.

State whether each of the following is a pair of independent events or dependent events.

(a) A and B

(b) A and C

(c) B and D

(d) C and D

a) Calculate the pH during the titration of 30.00 mL of 0.1000 M trimethylamine, (CH₃)₃N(aq), with 0.1000 M HCl(aq) after 24 mL of the acid have been added. K_b of trimethylamine = 6.5 x 10^-5.

b)Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M methylamine, CH₃NH₂(aq), with 0.1000 M HNO₃(aq) after 19.9 mL of the acid have been added. K_b of methylamine = 3.6 x 10^-4.

Ringing Bell Telephone Company has implemented an affirmative action plan in compliance with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Under the current plan, to eliminate discrimination based on sex, women must be placed in jobs traditionally held by men. Therefore, the human resource department has emphasized recruiting and hiring women for such positions. Women who apply for craft positions are encouraged to try for outdoor craft jobs, such as those titled installer-repairer and line worker.
All employees hired as outside technicians must first pass basic installation school, which includes a week of training for pole climbing. During this week, employees are taught to climb 30-foot telephone poles. At the end of the week, they must demonstrate the strength and skills necessary to climb the pole and perform exercises while on it, such as lifting heavy tools and using a pulley to lift a bucket. Only those who pass this first week of training are allowed to advance to the segment dealing with installation.

Records have been maintained on the rates of success or failure for employees who attend the training school. For men, the failure rate has remained fairly constant at 30 percent. However, it has averaged 70 percent for women.
The human resource department has become concerned because hiring and training employees who must resign at the end of one week is a tremendous expense. In addition, the goal of placing women in outdoor craft positions is not being reached.
As a first step in solving the problem, the human resource department has started interview- ing the women who have failed the first week of training. Each employee is asked her reasons for seeking the position and encouraged to discuss probable causes for failure. Interviews over the last two months disclosed that employees were motivated to accept the job because of their wishes to work outdoors, work without close supervision, obtain challenging work, meet the public, have variety in their jobs, and obtain a type of job unusual for women. Reasons for failure were physical inability to climb the pole, fear of height while on it, an accident dur- ing training such as a fall from the pole, and change of mind about the job after learning that strenuous work was involved.
In many instances, the women who mentioned physical reasons also stated they were not physically ready to undertake the training; many had no idea it would be so difficult. Even though they still wanted the job, they could not pass the physical strength test at the end of one week.
Some stated that they felt “influenced” by their interviewer from the human resource depart- ment to take the job; others said they had accepted it because it was the only job available with the company at the time.
Questions
1. What factors would you keep in mind in designing an effective selection process for the position of outdoor craft technician?
2. What would you recommend to help Ringing Bell reduce the failure rate among women trainees?

Java

1. Program Specification

This will focus on strengthening your skills with manipulating Strings. The String class provides many useful methods, in which this assignment will give you further practice with. You will read in dates in a variety of different formats, parse the dates, and then print them out in a converted format. The dates will be entered in one line by the user, and they will be separated by the word “and”.

2. Date formats

Your program will parse a line of dates written in three styles: day first, month first, and all-numbers.

Day first: The day of the month is first, followed by the month, followed by the year. The month string must be at least 3 letters long, and can be a mix of upper and lowercase letters. Spaces should separate the three parts. Spaces are not allowed between numbers or month names.

ex: 8 Aug 2015
24 February 1988

Month first: The month is first, followed by the day, a comma, then the year. The month may be fully spelled out or an abbreviation at least 3 letters long and be upper or lower case. A space must separate the month and day, but there may be multiple spaces between the two.

ex: March 15, 1967

Jan 17, 1990

All numbers: Month, day, and year are entered as numbers with dashes between them. There may be many spaces around the dashes or none. Spaces are not allowed between the numbers.

ex: 12-4-2008

1-8-2003

3. Requirements

•  Your program must read a single line that may contain many dates in many formats separated by the word “and”. It will parse out the dates, and print them all in the correct format. The correct format is day first, a space, followed by the full name of the month with the first letter capitalized, a space, and then the year.

•  Your program must give an error message if a date is invalid. It should give a specific error message for the following cases:

o A month name or abbreviation is misspelled or too short (less than three characters)
o A day or month number is incorrect. Months must be between 1 and 12. Days must be

valid for the month (ignore leap years)
o A year number is too low or high (1900 to 2019). o There are too many dashes in All Numbers format.

 It is ok if your program crashes when calling Integer.parseInt and the argument is not valid.

4. Implementation

There are some specific requirements for how you write the program.

 Use the below build-in methods
o String class: substring, trim, split, toLowerCase, indexOf, or lasIndexOf o Integer class: parseInt

•  In the main() method, you must prompt the user to enter the dates, read the line of dates, break the line into separate Strings based on the delimiter (“and”), and for each date print “Date : ”. You must also call the appropriate parser here.

•  One method for parsing each kind of date. These methods either output an error message or the corresponding standard date string.

o public static void parseDayFirst(String dateStr)
o public static void parseMonthFirst(String dateStr) o public static void parseAllNumbers(String dateStr)

 public static boolean isValidMonthDay(int day, int month)
o returns true if the month and day numbers form a valid day of the year (leap years

excluded)

 public static int monthToNumber(String monthStr)
o Takes a string that should be the name or abbreviation of the month name and returns

the number of the month. It returns zero if the name doesn’t match any month or is too short. This method is provided for you.

 public static boolean isValidMonthAbbr(String month)
Takes a month as a String and returns boolean value. True means the passed in month string represents a valid month string (the length of the trimmed month string is greater than or equals 3, and the month string abbreviation is correctly spelled!!!).

Hint: indexOf along with the provided static String array fullNameMonths declared at

the top of the class may be useful here for.  public static boolean isValidYear(int year)

o returns true if the year is valid (1900 to 2018)

 public static String standardDateString(int day, int month, int year)
o takes a day, month, and year as numbers and returns a String containing the date in the

correct format, Day Month Year. (ex. 13 March 2006)

A canister contains butane at a pressure of 760 torr and a temprature of 25C. All of contents of the canister are allowed to react with excess oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

2 (C4H10) + 13O2 -------> 8CO2+ 10(H2O)

Equation is balanced and butane is completely consumed in the reaction, and 46.5g grams of CO2 are produced. What is the volume, in liters, of the canister that contained the butane??

Answer is 6.46L but can anyone please show work for this question?? I just can't get the right answer or near even near it. Please teach me how to approach this problem. Thank You!

java

declare at least five different types of arrays, one, two and three-dimension.

For this assignment, you will apply what you learned in analyzing a simple Java™ program by writing your own Java™ program. The Java™ program you write should do the following:

• Organize the code capable of throwing an exception of type ParseException as a tryblock.
• Include a catch block to handle a ParseException error thown by the try block.
• Include a hard-coded error that results in a ParseException to prove that the code can catch and handle this type of exception.

Complete this assignment by doing the following:

1. Download and unzip the linked Week 5 Coding Assignment Zip File.
2. Add comments to the code by typing your name and the date in the multi-line comment header.
3. Replace the following lines with Java™ code as directed in the file:

• LINE 1
• LINE 2

1. Replace the value assigned with one of the variables so that the program throws an exception.
2. Comment each line of code you add to explain what you intend the code to do. Be sure to include a comment for the replacement value you added in Step 4 that causes the program to throw an exception.
3. Test and modify your Java™ program until it runs without errors and produces the results described above.
