IsEqualToTest (30)

Write a simple generic version of method isEqualTo that compares its two arguments with the equals method and returns true if they’re equal and false otherwise. Use this generic method in a program that calls isEqualToTest with the built-in types Integer, String, Double and Object. The main reads in two Integer, and two Double values with autoboxing, as well as two String and calls the method. For Object just create two Object objects with no parameters. The method doesn’t need to include any correctness tests.

Lab 4-2: Computing Tax

The United States federal personal income tax is calculated based on filing status and taxable income. There are four filing statuses: single filers, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household. The tax rates vary every year. Table 3.2 shows the rates for 2009. If you are, say, single with a taxable income of $10,000, the first $8,350 is taxed at 10% and the other $1,650 is taxed at 15%. So, your tax is $1,082.5.

Table 1

2009 U.S. Federal Personal Tax Rates

You are to write a program to compute personal income tax. Your program should prompt the user to enter the filing status and taxable income and compute the tax. Enter 0 for single filers, 1 for married filing jointly, 2 for married filing separately, and 3 for head of household.

Here are sample runs of the program:

Sample 1:

Enter the filing status: 0

Enter the taxable income: 100000

Tax is 21720.0

Sample 2:

Enter the filing status: 1

Enter the taxable income: 300339

Tax is 76932.87

Sample 3:

Enter the filing status: 2

Enter the taxable income: 123500

Tax is 29665.5

Sample 4:

Enter the filing status: 3

Enter the taxable income: 4545402

Tax is 1565250.7

**C++ only, standard library.

We are supposed to create a tower of hanoi program and do a sequence of 100 disks. We are supposed to run the program and then answer two questions:

1) How long does your computer take to run(time)?

2) If I could move 1 disk per second how long would it take?

Here is my program so far:

void towerOfHanoi(int numDisks, char from_rod, char to_rod, char aux_rod)
{
int count=0;
if (numDisks == 1)
{
//cout << "Move disk 1 from rod " << from_rod <<
// " to rod " << to_rod<<endl;
return;
}
towerOfHanoi(numDisks - 1, from_rod, aux_rod, to_rod);

//cout << "Move disk " << numDisks << " from rod " << from_rod <<
//" to rod " << to_rod << endl;
towerOfHanoi(numDisks - 1, aux_rod, to_rod, from_rod);
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
int numDisks; // Number of disks
  
cout<<"This program solves the Hanoi Tower puzzle"<<endl<<endl;
  
cout<<"Enter the number of disks to calculate: ";
cin>>numDisks;
  
towerOfHanoi(numDisks, 'A', 'C', 'B'); // A, B and C are names of rods
return 0;
}
  

What code would I add to the following program to have it print out the runtime each time the program is used?

def moveTower(n, source, dest, temp):
if n == 1:
print("Move disk from", source, "to", dest+".")
else:
moveTower(n-1, source, temp, dest)
moveTower(1, source, dest, temp)
moveTower(n-1, temp, dest, source)

def hanoi(n):
moveTower(n, "A", "C", "B")

def main():
print("Towers of Hanoi")
n = int(input("How many disks? "))
moveTower(n, "A", "C", "B")

Write an IterativeMergeSort function given these parameters and following the prompt

IterativeMergeSort(vector<int> v, int low, int high)

IterativeMergeSort

In-place sorting refers to sorting that does not require extra memory arrays. For

example, QuickSort performs partitioning operations by repeating a swapping operation on two

data items in a given array. This does not require an extra array.

We can improve the performance of MergeSort by utilizing a non-recursive method and

using only one additional array (instead of one array on each recursive call). In this improved

version of MergeSort,

IterativeMergeSort

, one would merge data from the original array into

the additional array and

alternatively

copy back and forth between the original and the

additional temporary array.

Please re-read the last sentence as it is critical to the grading of

the lab.

For the IterativeMergeSort we still need to allow data items to be copied between the

original and this additional array as many times as O(

log

n). However, given the iterative nature

we are not building up state on the stack.

Rental Shop
A. Create an abstract class named SummerSportRental that is to be used with for a summer sports rental
shop. The SummerSportRental class must have the properties of newModel which takes on the type
boolean, and rentalCost which takes on the type double, and rentalNumber which is an identification
number as an long integer.These member variables must all be private!
It also must include the following member functions:
1. equals() which returns true if two SummerSportRental objects have the same rentalNumber.
2. all of the appropriate get/set methods for each of the above member variables. Make sure to have
data validation done on the set methods to prevent invalid/illegal values from being passed into the
member variables. (Example: rentalCost should not be allowed to be negative).
3. include an abstract method named lateCharge, that will only be implemented in child classes that
inherit the SummerSportRental class.
B. Create three children classes that inherit the SummerSportRental class, named WaterSkiRental,
PaddleboardRental, and BeachCruiserBikeRental.
The WaterSkiRental class should have one private member variable named size as an integer that will be
used to store the size of the water ski in centimeters. Implement the get/set method for this member
variable. The abstract method in the SummerSportRental class, named lateCharge must be implemented to
charge a late charge of 10% of the rental cost. Be sure to include a method named toString to output the
data stored in the member variables for this class. No main method in the class allowed!
The PaddleboardRental class should have two private member variable named size as an integer that will
be used to store the size of the paddle board in centimeters, and another member variable named style as
an enumerated type with the values (SINGLE, DOUBLE to denote if the paddle board is a single person
board or a two person board). Implement the get/set methods for these member variables. The abstract
method in the SummerSportRental class, named lateCharge must be implemented to charge a late charge
of 20% of the rental cost. Be sure to include a method named toString to output the data stored in the
member variables for this class. No main method in the class allowed!
The BeachCruiserBikeRental class should have two private member variable named wheel_szie as an
integer that will be used for storing the wheel size in centimeters of the beach cruiser bike, and another
member variable named capacity as an enumerated type with the values (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE
[which has a very stylin' side cart to it]) that stores the seating capacity of the beach cruiser bike. Implement
the get/set methods for these member variables. The abstract method in the SnowSportRental class, named
lateCharge must be implemented to charge a late charge of (20+capacity*5)% (late charge for single=25%,
double=30%, triple=35%) of the rental cost. Be sure to include a method named toString to output the data
stored in the member variables for this class. No main method in the class allowed!
C. Create separate test class source files with their respective main methods to test each implemented
method in the WaterSkiRental, PaddleboardRental, and BeachCruiserBikeRental classes. The list below is
the minimums for the test cases for each of the child classes:
WaterSkiRental:
1. equals() method
2. newModel ( test get and set )
3. rentalCost ( test get and set )
4. rentalNumber ( test get and set )
5. size ( test get and set )
6. lateCharge - make sure it adheres to the specifications above.
7. toString ( test toString method )
A total of 11 tests for WaterSkiRental class ( tests 1-4 are actually for the SummerSportRental class, and will
not need to be repeated for PaddleboardRental and BeachCruiserBikeRental class test )
PaddleboardRental:
1. size ( test get and set )
2. style ( test get and set )
3. lateCharge - make sure it adheres to the specifications above.
4. toString ( test toString method )
A total of four tests for PaddleboardRental class
BeachCruiserBikeRental:
1. wheel_size ( test get and set )
2. capacity ( test get and set )
3. lateCharge - make sure it adheres to the specifications above.
4. toString ( test toString method )
A total of four tests for BeachCruiserBikeRental class
