For my assignment, I'm not sure how to start making a stack implemented via linked list of arrays. I'm stuck on how to approach the very first steps (Stack class members and constructor.) I'm familiar with allocating memory, arrays, and linked lists, but putting them together has me lost. How should I create a Stack with a dynamic linked list of arrays?

Stack name (number of elements); Creates a stack of strings with name “name.” Internally, each unit of memory allocation is “number of elements” elements. Users should be smart enough to choose a number of elements that matches their expected usage patterns.

void push(string) Adds an element containing string to the top of the stack.

bool top(string &)   Retrieves the string in the top element. If the stack it empty, returns false.

bool pop(string &) Retrieves and removes the top element. If the stack is empty, returns false.

destroy() Releases any memory used by the stack.

Implementation details:

Stack class members :

- int array size (specified by user when instantiating)

-linked list definition // ex.( list < string* > something; )

- int topElement (element number of the current top element of the stack)

The element number is logically a “pointer” to the top element. It always points to the place in the current array where the next element would go. Again, assume that the array size is 10. If the element number is 5, then a new element goes into array [5]. When the list is empty, the element number is zero. When the element number is 10, the array is full.

constructor:

allocate an array of the specified size

create a linked list entry containing a pointer to the array

  set topElement to 0, indicating that the top of the stack is element 0 of the current array

push:

if the current array is full (topElement = array size)

{

  create a new array

  add a pointer node for this array to the linked list

  move the data to element 0 of the new array

  set topElement to 1

}

else

{

  add data to the array at position {topElement]

  topElement ++

}

pop:

if the current array is empty (topElement = 0)

{

  if there is only one array allocated

{

  return false

}

else

{

delete current array

remove linked list entry for array

set topElement = array size - 1

  retrieve data from current array [topElement]

return true

}

}

else

{

  topElement - -

  retrieve data from current array [topElement]

return true

}

destroy:

delete array

remove linked list node for array

set topElement = array size

Use a header file for your Stack class, a .cpp for its member functions, and a second .cpp for the main routine.

The main is included and KEEP MAIN AS IS

int main() {
   Stack s(5);
   string st;
   bool b;
   s.push("aaaaa");
   s.push("bbbbb");
   s.push("ccccc");
   s.push("ddddd");
   s.push("eeeee");

   cout << "main: start of part 1" << endl;
   b = s.top(st);
   cout << "main: top of stack " << st << endl;
   b = s.pop(st);
   cout << "main: just popped this ->" << st << endl;
   b = s.top(st);
   cout << "main: new top of stack after pop " << st << endl;

The biggest challenges I saw for this position were the same ones NAO was facing: reducing vehicle development time and structural costs, increasing market share, achieving world class levels of customer enthusiasm, and integrating the various functional departments of NAO. We expected to know we had been successful when 99% of the projects were delivered on time, on budget, and with expected benefits, and when the people in NAO took great pride in this organization. Of course, we are all also working to increase profitability and market share. That was to be done by working with the process information officers, the sector information officers, and with the regional information officers. Our virtual teams had to be flexible to really understand the needs of our internal customers and to help them figure out ways to meet those needs.

One of the Business Unit Information Officers was Maryann Goebel, CIO of the Truck Group. She had over 24 years of experience in information systems, gained from working in 10 different large companies first as a programmer/analyst, and later as an IT executive or in a functional area as an IT specialist. She came to GM in April, 1997 from Bell Atlantic/NYNEX Mobile, where she helped a relationship with an outsourcer turn around. She described her GM job.

The challenge was to make GM number one again. Management believed in the right value set, and consistently delivered the right message. Ralph was the perfect leader for the challenge because there was a lot of history between EDS and GM. In the Truck Group, I found a team who had embraced the GM 5 core values that worked for me: continuous improvement, customer enthusiasm, teamwork, integrity, and innovation. As the CIO of the Truck Group, I reported to two people, Dan McNicholl, the CIO of NAO and Tom Davis, the head of the Truck Group. This business had 45,000 people on the payroll, and I had about 16 employees and 17 contractors reporting to me. There were some other people in the sector that look like IT people, and we often worked with them. We bought services from EDS, and they supplied whatever individuals were needed to meet the service levels we agreed to.

The job of CIO of this sector was a new position. No one focused on this job before me. The reception was very positive, in fact some managers welcomed me with open arms. Most of the managers were interested in my views as an outsider and helped me get to know their organization. I knew I was getting the right message across when several individuals who were initially afraid, I was there to "steal their resources" called me up to ask for my involvement in their IT projects. They finally trusted me.

Some of the tasks I was initially asked to do were to evaluate a proposal for services from EDS where the Truck Group manager wanted to know if this was a realistic reasonable cost for the services offered. I had to really evaluate what was in the numbers in the proposal. Another service I offered was to bring an outside perspective to the Truck Group. I was not afraid to ask a lot of questions, and since I was new to GM, I didn't take for granted many of the things more experienced managers do. I was also a participant in decisions on how the business should be run. I believed that unless you were participating, you were only an order taker. But there is much to do to be a participant. I read briefings, networked with knowledgeable individuals and asked lots of questions to get up to speed.

The biggest challenge I saw in August 1997 was achieving globalization of the IT functions that supported the Truck Group. The structure had the US and Canadian organizations reporting up through the truck team. But other international operations didn't report in the same way. The challenge was to help management of this group understand the global picture, which meant figuring out how to collect, process, and disseminate the management information. I'll know I will have been successful through metrics on customer satisfaction, not on internal efficiency. Establishing the metrics was another challenge.

Cherri Musser joined IS&S as the IO of Business Services which included human resources, finance, legal and purchasing. Musser spent 23 years working in information systems at Texas Instruments, then came to GM in November 1996. When she left TI, she was the VP for research and development for the Texas Instruments Software Business. She joined the new GM IS&S team because,

Ralph wanted to keep information systems efforts focused on the customer and business value. The opportunity to address the IT needs of a company the size of GM—and to build a new IT team to do it— was too good to pass up.

I saw my job as working with the functional areas such as human resources, finance, purchasing, legal, facilities management, etc. to look for synergies across the company. I was looking for ways to drive common systems. We already had a purchasing systems project underway. We were thinking about how to transition to supply chain. For every plant that GM brought up, the plant manager had selected his or her own administrative system.

We worked on convergence. This was done by convening a strategy board for each functional area. For example, the strategy board for finance consisted of the corporate CFO, the CFOs for NAO, GMAC and Delphi, and the corporate comptroller. We met once per month to discuss the process we were using to reach common systems. A similar board was set up in human resources, and that one included the president of GM University and the top human resources individuals in each business unit. Another board was set up for procurement and materials management.

An Antique dealer needs to store records of the items in the inventory into a stack (the dealer believes that keeping items longer will be beneficial; nonetheless, the business logic here is not important!). Besides the usual push() and pop(); the dealer needs to always know what is the most expensive item in the inventory/stack. You are hired to implement a new method, called max(), which returns the current maximum value for any item in the stack. Notice that the stack grows and shrinks dynamically as elements are added or removed from the stack (i.e. the contents of the stack are not fixed).

a. Write the pseudocode of the max() method.

b. What is the Big-O complexity of your solution? Explain clearly how you obtained such complexity.

c. Is it possible to have all three methods (push(), pop() and max()) be designed to have a complexity of O(1)? If no; explain why this is impossible. If yes; provide the pseudocode of the algorithm that would allow O(1) for all three methods

Securing Information Systems

Chapter eight in the Laudon text is filled with many examples of how computer systems are vulnerable due to failure, destruction, errors, and abuse. And the never ending onslaught of security breaches continues to escalate despite the lessons learned. It is evident that maintaining good information systems security is a full time endeavor.

By doing a search of the Internet or by other research methods, find an example of an organization that faced an information systems security issue or crisis.

Ponder these questions:

1) How did the organization identify that there was a security problem?

2) What, if any, security infrastructure and policies were in place when the problem occurred?

3) What initial actions were taken to deal with the situation?

4) From a management perspective, what, if any, new organizational policies and procedures did they institute?

5) Were any new security tools and technologies eventually implemented to further safeguard their systems?

6) What was the business impact? How did they recover? Were there any legal ramifications, loss of customers, or damage of reputation?

7) Generally speaking, how can a business determine the value of investing in security and control?

n this exercise, you create a program for the sales manager at Computer Haven, a small business that offers motivational seminars to local companies. Figure 7-53 shows the charge for attending a seminar. Notice that the charge per person depends on the number of people the company registers. For example, the cost for four registrants is $400; the cost for two registrants is $300. The program should allow the sales manager to enter the number of registrants for as many companies as needed. When the sales manager has finished entering the data, the program should calculate and display the total number of people registered, the total charge for those registrants, and the average charge per registrant. For example, if one company registers four people and another company registers two people, the total number of people registered is six, the total charge is $700, and the average charge per registrant is $116.67. Number of people a company registers . Charge per person ($)

C Programming Please write a single function and not the whole program

Can you please provide comments and explanations for all questions. Thank you

Write a single function for the following:

void split_date(int day_of_year, int year, int *month, int *day);

            day_of_year is an integer between 1 and 366, specifying a particular day within the year

designated by the parameter year. Month and day point to variables in which the function
will store the equivalent month (1 – 12) and day within the month (1 – 31)

The question is trying to ask you to write a single function in C that takes a day of the year (1-366) and calculates which month and which day of the month corresponds to that day of in the month. So a day of the year of let's 15 would return 1 (for the month - January) and 15 for the day of the month. The second parameter (year) is needed because leap years have 366 days and non-leap years have 365 days.

A sequence of integers x1,x2,...,xn is unimodal if for some 1 ≤ i ≤ n we have x1 < x2 < ... < xi and xi > xi+1 > ... > xn. Find the maximum element in a unimodal sequence of integers x1, x2, . . . , xn. The running time should be O(log n). Show that your algorithm meets the bound.

Consider the following scenario and design a C++ program using an output stream file: A person invests $1,000 on a savings account yielding 5% interest. Assuming that all the interest is left on deposit, calculate and print the amount of money in the account at the end of each year for 10 years. Use the following formula to determine the amounts: a = p (1 + r)n where p is the original amount invested (i.e., the principal) r is the annual interest rate (e.g., use 0.05 for 5%)f n is the number of years a is the amount on deposit at the end of the nth year. Your program must have an output file to display your results.
