Working with Vendors

• Why is due diligence necessary when dealing with external vendors?
• What is one suggestion you have regarding securing data as it is in-transit to and from these vendors?
• What are two security protocols that should be part of the vendor's data operations? For example, if the data includes PII/SPII information, is adherence to external regulations and guidelines the responsibility of the vendor or your organization?

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Create a new Python 3 Jupyter Notebook. Create one python code cell for the problem below. Use any additional variables and comments as needed to program a solution to the corresponding problem. All functions should be defined at the top of the code in alphabetical order.

*Problem:* 1. Define a function with the following characteristics: * The function's purpose will be checking that a number matches another, so it should be named appropriately. * It must accept one parameter, which is the number it will be checking. Name this parameter appropriately. * It must have an appropriate docstring. * There needs to be a variable defined within the program that is the integer value of ((your birth month prepended to your birth year) mod 555). So if your birthday is October 1925, this variable would be (`101925 % 555`). It is the number the argument will be compared to, so name it appropriately. * If the numbers match, the function should return `True`, otherwise `False`.

2. Define a different function with the following characteristics: * This function will be trying to guess a passcode, so it should be named appropriately. * It must accept two parameters, both with default values. * The first parameter will be for the smallest number to check and its default value will be `0`. * The second parameter will be for the largest number to check and its default value will be `100`. * The function must have an appropriate docstring. * Create a variable to hold the correct passcode. You won't know the value yet, so define it as `None`. * Build a list of all of the numbers from the smallest to the largest (it must include the largest number in the list). *Hint: Use the `range()` function with the first argument as the smallest number and the second argument as the largest value plus `1`.* * Loop through the list and for each iteration of the loop, do the following: * Call the function described in step 1 with the current list item as the argument and assign its return value to a variable. * If the function above returns `True`, store the current list item in the correct passcode variable and break out of the loop. * Return the correct passcode.

3. In your main code section, call the function defined in step 2 and store its return value in a variable named "`passcode`". You'll use the default argument value for the smallest number, so leave it out of the call. However, for the largest number, you need to pass in `555` as the argument. 4. Print out the correct passcode in a format string with a friendly (or funny) message.

**Rubric:** * Adequate readability, comments, etc.

* Uses docstrings for methods * Calls checker function using default argument for the first parameter

* Calls checker function overriding argument for second parameter * Has a method to check against mod value

* Uses mod correctly * Has a method to loop through range * Uses default argments for parameters

* Range is defined using second parameter plus one

* Break out of loop when value is found

* Store in variable named passcode

* Uses a format string to print

* Has a main code section

Use following case and create Entity-Relationship Diagrams using the Crow’s Feet method for each. Each ERD should be completed on a separate sheet of paper, if drawn by hand. If additional assumptions are made for any of your 2cases, be sure to document the additional business rules and include them with your ERDs.

Entity-Relationship Diagram : TEXTBOOK REVIEWS Your website would like to add the ability for school BIT students to provide reviews for textbooks they have previously used. Using the following business rules, create an ERD:

Students must enter the ISBN for the book, along with its title, author, publisher, and copyright date.

Users will be asked to select what course the book was used for from a predefined list of courses offered in the BIT division.

Each course will be assigned to a program such as Web Development, Software Development, Computer Support, Photography, etc.

Each book can have more than one author.

Each book can only have one publisher.

Each book could have been used in multiple courses.

Many reviews could be written for a book, but each review can only be about one book.

Reviews may be written anonymously or by a logged in user.

You work for a software company has just created a new incentive for salespeople to earn a commission on each sale. The current program only allows for a fixed salary. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has asked you to create a new program that allows the functionality for a fixed salary and commission.

Write a Java^® application, using NetBeans IDE, that calculates the total annual compensation of a salesperson.

Consider the following:

• A salesperson will earn a fixed salary of $30,000.
• A salesperson will also receive a commission as a sales incentive. Commission is a percentage of the salesperson's annual sales. The current commission is 7% of total sales.
• The total annual compensation is the fixed salary plus the commission earned.

The Java^® application should meet the following technical requirements:

• The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application's controlling class. (A controlling class is where the main function resides).
• A file needs to be created to contain the output.
• There should be proper documentation in the source code.
• The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.

Compile your Java^® application files into a ZIP folder.

Deal or No Deal
Assignment
Have you watched the gameshow Deal or No Deal? We are going to design a smaller version of it.
Parameters
•   We’ll have 25 differing dollar amounts from $1 to $1,000,000. (Let’s use 25, not 26; drop the 1 cent value in the original game values.) Each dollar amount is randomly placed in one of 25 briefcases, and none of the game players know the locations.
•   We’ll only implement 1 Round with 4 states:   
1.   Player makes guess of Prize briefcase
2.   Player opens N other briefcases
3.   Banker makes an offer to buy back Prize briefcase
4.   Player responds – and wins or looses   
Board Presentation
Show the 25 briefcases as a 5x5 grid. (You can hardcode the 25 and 5x5 – these parameters don’t change.) Each cell of the grid represents a briefcase. The contents of the cell can display 1 of 2 things: either a closed briefcase or an opened briefcase. If closed, then just show the briefcase number; if opened then display the dollar amount inside.   

Also show the remaining Cash Values still in play. I used a 2-row table where the values opened have a grey background. The other values are in the closed briefcases and one is the Prize Briefcase.
  
      
Rules of Play
There are 2 participants: The Player and The Banker. The Player wants to make as much money as possible, and The Banker wants to keep as much money as possible.
We’ll only do 1 Round. So, we’ll have 4 steps or 4 States to our game.
1.   Initialize: This is the setup for the board and initializing the State Variables (hiddens).
2.   Prize Briefcase selection: The player first picks their prize briefcase. In the picture above, the player selected Case #17. That selection must be stored in a State Variable for the entire game – so the game can “remember” it. (The dollar amount contents of the Prize Briefcase is not displayed, of course, so keep the case “closed.”)
3.   Open N other briefcases: Now the player picks N other briefcases to open. For our miniature game with only one round, N=6. After the user selects 6 briefcases, they are opened and the dollar contents displayed to everyone.
4.   Accept or reject The Offer from the Banker: The game pauses. The Banker now makes an offer by buy back the Prize Briefcase from the player –with unknown contents to all. The Banker doesn’t know contents of the Prize Briefcase but doesn’t want it to be big. So, the Banker offers a price somewhere in the middle of the range of the remaining dollar amounts.   

The Player can accept or reject the offer from The Banker. In our game, either way, this is the end of the game. In the real game, if the offer is not selected, then the next round continues with N=N-1 briefcases opened until there is only 2 left.   
State Variables
I had 3 State Variables.
•   $state – this is an integer. It goes from 0 to 3.
•   $caseCash – this is a 1-D array of length 25. Each cell is a briefcase. The value of the array is the cash in the briefcase.
•   $caseState – this is also a 1-D array of length 25. Each cell is a briefcase. The value is a string representing the status of the briefcase. There are 3 options: closed, opened, or the 1 Prize Briefcase. In my game:
o   A dot ‘.’means the briefcase is closed. o An ‘o’ means that the briefcase is opened.
o   The string ‘prize’ means that The Player has selected that briefcase for their prize at the end.

The Banker
The job of The Banker is to “save” money. He knows The Player will get the cash in the Prize Briefcase. The Banker’s job is to “buy” the Briefcase back from The Player, hopefully for less money than is in the Prize Briefcase. Neither party know the contents of the Prize Briefcase, so both parties are gambling.
A very simple algorithm for The Banker is simply to take the average() of all the unopened, remaining briefcases. The Average will be right in the middle. That makes it a 50% chance that The Banker does better and a 50% chance that The Player does better. You are free to make The Offer using any function you want. Have fun.   

Write a public Java class called DecimalTimer with public method displayTimer, that prints a counter and then increments the number of seconds. The counter will start at 00:00 and each time the number of seconds reaches 60, minutes will be incremented. You will not need to implement hours or a sleep function, but if minutes or seconds is less than 10, make sure a leading zero is put to the left of the number.

For example, 60 seconds:
00:00
  00:01
  00:02
  . . .
  00:58
  00:59
  01:00
