Im in a java class and having trouble with assigning the seat to a specific number from the array.. Below are the instructions I was given and then the code that I have already.
ITSE 2321 – OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING JAVA Program 8 – Arrays and ArrayList
A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated reservations system. You have been asked to develop the new system. You are to write an application to assign seats on flight of the airline’s only plane (capacity: 10 seats). Your application should display the following alternatives: "Please type 1 for First Class" and "Please type 2 for Economy." If the user types 1, your application should assign a seat in the first-class section (seats 1 – 5). If the user types 2, your application should assign a seat in the economy section (seats 6 – 10). Your application should then display a boarding pass indicating the person’s seat number and whether it’s in the first-class or economy section of the plane. Use a one-dimensional array of primitive type boolean to represent the seating chart of the plane. Initialize all the elements of the array to false to indicate that all the seats are empty. As each is assigned, set the corresponding element of the array to true to indicate that the seat is on longer available. Your application should never assign a seat that has already been assigned. When the economy section is full, your application should ask the person if it’s acceptable to be placed in the first-class section (and vice versa). If yes, make the appropriate seat assignment. If no, display the message "Next flight leaves in 3 hours." End the program when all the ten seats on the plane have been assigned.
No input, processing or output should happen in the main method. All work should be delegated to other non-static methods. Include the recommended minimum documentation for each method. See the program one template for more details.
Run your program, with your own data, and copy and paste the output to a file. Create a folder named, fullname_program8. Copy your source code and the output file to the folder. Zip the folder and upload it to Blackboard.

This question need to be solved using java coading :-
I. Input
All input data are from a file "in.dat". The file contains a
sequence of infix form expressions, one per line. The character '$'
is an end mark. For example, the following file has four infix form
expressions:
1 + 2 * 3 ^ ! ( 4 == 5 ) $
3 * ( 6 - 4 * 5 + 1) + 2 ^ 2 ^ 3 $
77 > ( 2 - 1 ) + 80 / 4 $
! ( 2 + 3 * 4 >= 10 % 6 ) && 20 != 30 || 45 / 5 == 3 * 3 $
Each expression is a sequence of tokens (i.e., constant integers,
operators, and end mark) separated by spaces. There is no variable.
II. Output
Output data and related information are sent to the screen.
Your program should do the following for each expression:
(1) printing the expression before it is manipulated;
(2) showing the converted postfix form expression;
(3) showing the expression tree;
(4) printing the fully parenthesized infix form expression;
(5) reporting the value of the expression.
III. Operators
The following operators are considered. They are listed in the
decreasing order of precedence.
Token Operator Associativity
! logical not right-to-left
^ exponentiation right-to-left
* / % multiplicative left-to-right
+ - additive left-to-right
< <= > >= relational left-to-right
== != equality left-to-right
&& logical and left-to-right
|| logical or left-to-right
IV. Other Requirements
Since a large amount of information are to be displayed on the
screen, it is mandatory for your program to provide users a prompting
message such as
Press <Enter> to continue ...
after each expression is processed, so that users have the chance to
check the output of your program carefully.
V. Algorithm: Infix_to_postfix conversion
Input: An infix form expression E = t1 t2 t3 ... $,
which is a sequence of tokens.
Output: The postfix form expression of E.
Algorithm:
{
do {
get the next token t;
case (t) {
operand: place t onto the output;
break;
operator: while (stack s is not empty
&& stacktop(s) is not a left parenthesis)
&& precedence(stacktop(s)) >= precedence(t)
// assuming left-to-right associativity,
// not for the exponentiation operator ^,
// which has right-to-left associativity
{
pop(x,s);
place x onto the output;
}
push(t,s);
break;
(: push(t,s);
break;
): while (stacktop(s) is not a left parenthesis) {
pop(x,s);
place x onto the output;
}
pop(x,s);
break;
end mark: while (stack s is not empty) {

Please code this in C
In this project, we shall simulate the operations of an ATM machine.
Suppose you’re in charge of this simulation and here is a scenario of what is required to do:
The customer will be assigned a random number for his/her balance.
First, the customer is prompted to enter his personal identification number pin (for this case study, we test only if this pin is formed by 4 digits! otherwise, a message like “Invalid PIN, try again . . .” will be displayed) and the user is re-prompted to enter the pin. The customer is given three chances to enter his pin. If he/she fails during the three trials you display a message like “Sorry you can’t continue, contact your bank for assistance!”
If the pin is correct (formed by 4 digits), then the system will ask the customer for the receipt ( 1 for YES and 2 for NO ) and a menu will be displayed containing five possible options to choose from: Fast Cash, Deposit, Withdraw, Balance and Get Card Back.
Here is the explanation of each of the 5 options:
Get Card Back: Display the message “Goodbye! “and exit the program.
Fast Cash: Let the customer choosing the amount of cash from a menu similar to the following:
Press:
1 --> $20.00 $40.00 <-- 2
3 --> $80.00 $100.00 <-- 4
Withdraw: Prompt the user for the amount of money he/she would like to withdraw and make the sure that he/she has enough money for that!
Deposit: Prompt the customer for the amount of deposit.
Balance: Just display the amount of money the customer has.
Don’t forget to print the receipt if the customer wants one.
Sample execution: bolded text represents the user entry

The Big Bang Company was set up by Ed, an Australian resident. It is incorporated in Singapore and has two directors who are resident in Singapore and who hold board meetings in Singapore. Each director has two shares in the Big Bang Company, which they hold on trust for Ed. The Big Bang Company owns real property, all of which is outside Australia, and makes its profits from commercial property leases on a large scale. Ed does not attend the board meetings in Singapore; however, the constitution of the Big Bang Company provides that the decisions of the directors are only effective if Ed concurs with them. The directors carry on all operational activities, such as collecting rent, paying commission, finding tenants, making minor repairs and maintaining the buildings. Is there any possible scenario in which the Big Bang Company could be considered a resident of Australia for tax purposes? |

Former CEO Ron Johnson designed and tried to implement a new strategy for JCPenney (JCP). However, the firm’s tar- get “middle market” customers did not respond well to the new strategy and the innovations associated with it. In fact, some say that Johnson’s innovations and strategy alienated what had historically been the firm’s target customers.
Johnson came to JCP after successful stints at Target and Apple. At Apple, he was admired for the major role he played in developing that firm’s wildly successful Apple Stores, which a number of analysts say brought about “a new world order in retailing.” It was Johnson’s ability to establish what some viewed as path-breaking visions and to develop innovations to reach them that appealed to JCP’s board when he was hired.
Comparing JCP to the Titanic, Johnson came to the CEO position believing that innovation was the key to shaking up the firm. Moreover, he reminded analysts, employees, and others that he came to JCP to “transform” the firm, not to marginally improve its performance. Describing what he intended to do at JCP, Johnson said that “in the U.S., the department store has a chance to regain its status as the leader in style, the leader in excitement. It will be a period of true innovation for this company.”
The essence of Johnson’s vision for JCP was twofold. First, he eliminated the firm’s practice of marking up prices on goods and then offering discounts, heavy pro- motions, and coupons to entice its bargain-hunting tar- get customers. Instead, Johnson introduced a three-tiered pricing structure that focused on what were labelled “everyday low prices.” To customers though, the pricing structure was confusing and failed to convince them that the “everyday low prices” were actually “low enough” compared to competitors’ prices.
Innovation was at the core of the second part of the new CEO’s vision, with one objective being to give JCP a more youthful image. The innovations Johnson implemented to create this image included establishing branded boutiques within JCP stores. To do this, JCP set up branded boutiques “along a wide aisle, or ‘street’ dotted with places to sit, grab a cup of coffee, or play with Lego blocks.” With an initial intention of having 100 branded shops within JCP stores by 2015, Johnson asked people “to envision an entire store of shops with a street and square in the middle representing a new way to interface with the customer.” Disney was one of the brands to be included as a shopping destination, as were Caribou Coffee, Dallas- based Paciugo Gelato & Cafe?, and Giggle, a store dedicated to making “it a whole lot easier to become a parent” by offering innovative and stylish “must-have baby items.” In addition, and as noted in Chapter 4’s Opening Case, Levi’s, IZOD, Liz Claiborne, and Martha Stewart branded items were to be included as part of the boutiques.
But, these innovations and the strategy used to exploit them did not work. So what went wrong? Considering the components of the model shown in Figure 13.2 yields a framework to answer this question. While it is true that Johnson had an entrepreneurial mind-set, cross-functional teams were not used to facilitate implementation of the desired innovations such as the boutique stores. In essence, it seems that Johnson himself, with- out the involvement of others throughout the firm, was instrumental in deciding that the boutiques were to be used as well as how they were to be established and operated within selected JCP stores. In addition, the values associated with efforts to change JCP from its historic roots of being a general merchant in the space between department stores and discounters to becoming a firm with a young, hip image were not shared among the firm’s stakeholders. Finally, Johnson’s work as an entrepreneurial leader was, seemingly, not as effective as should have been the case. Because of mistakes such as these, the level of success desired at JCP through internally developed innovations was not attained.
1. The new CEO tried to be innovative. Were the innovations introduced, more incremental or more novel? Please explain.
2. What are the reasons that the innovations implemented by the new CEO failed?
3. What recommendations do you have for turning around the performance of JCP?

Vinnie is a professional road cyclist participating in the 2020 Giro d’Italia, a three-week race nearly 3,600 km in distance with some stages exceeding altitudes of 2,700 m above sea level (i.e., Stelvio Pass, Italy). As the newly hired head of the high-performance team, it is your responsibility to manage his preparation for the event. You must demonstrate to your team a fundamental understanding of physiology, the chronic adaptations expected from his training, and methods that could be implemented to improve the likelihood of success.
1)Your first job was to schedule a VO2max test for Vinnie to examine his aerobic fitness. After repeating the assessment several weeks later after an intensive training block, you notice that VO2max has dropped, but there has been an increase in VT2. Please discuss why VO2max decreased and what impact both changes will have on performance?
2)Out of interest, you decide to measure Vinnie’s gross mechanical efficiency during cycling (i.e., the ratio of work accomplished to energy expended). You determine that he is 21.9% efficient. Please explain what efficiency is a measure of, where does this value sit within normal efficiency data and why you are unlikely to see values much higher (e.g., 50%)?
3)Within the alveoli, the partial pressure of O2 is reduced from that measured in the outside air (160 mmHg) to approximately 105 mmHg.
What values do you expect to observe in PO2 and PAO2 when Vinnie is cycling at the peak of Stelvio Pass (barometric pressure = 543 mmHg)?
What impact would the change in PAO2 have on Vinnie’s performance?
4)
The longest leg of the race is 228 km, during which energy intake is critical. Glycolysis and β-oxidation are processes that break down carbohydrates (i.e., glucose, sucrose, fructose) and fatty acids, respectively.
Based on what you know about the yield and speed of these two pathways, do you recommend Vinnie ingest glucose or fatty acids during the race? (Hint, remember the cross-over concept)
5)
You recommend that Vinnie performs altitude training as part of his preparation for the race, a training approach that is novel to him.
6)
During a casual chat with a sport scientist from another team, they suggest preparing “finish bottles” for the longer legs of the race. Along with a dose of painkillers, a “finish bottle” typically contains an ergogenic dose of caffeine (i.e., approximately 3 to 5 mg·kg-1 of bodyweight).
Additionally, caffeine has a mild effect at mobilising free fatty acids. Please describe what is meant by mobilisation, and how this may influence performance
7)
Given that the average distance of each leg is 170.5 km in distance, and sometimes undulating in elevation, you understand that fatigue is inevitable. The energy depletion model of fatigue focuses around the concept that depleted substrates are just one source of fatigue, particularly observed in muscle glycogen and phosphocreatine stores.
8)
As the event is soon approaching, parts of Hungary are experiencing a heatwave. Indeed, temperatures may exceed 32° Celsius during the first leg of the race leaving Budapest.
In terms of thermoregulation, what physiological changes are likely to occur during this leg of the race?

Theories of Intelligence
Intelligence tests and psychological definitions of intelligence have been heavily criticized since the 1970s for being biased in favor of Anglo-American, middle-class respondents and for being inadequate tools for measuring non-academic types of intelligence or talent. Intelligence changes with experience and intelligence quotients or scores do not reflect that ability to change. What is considered smart varies culturally as well and most intelligence tests do not take this variation into account. For example, in the west, being smart is associated with being quick. A person who answers a question the fastest is seen as the smartest. But in some cultures, being smart is associated with considering an idea thoroughly before giving an answer. A well-thought out, contemplative answer is the best answer.
Multiple Intelligences
Gardner (1983, 1998, 1999) suggests that there are not one, but nine domains of intelligence. The first three are skills that are measured by IQ tests:
Logical-mathematical: the ability to solve mathematical problems; problems of logic, numerical patterns
Linguistic: vocabulary, reading comprehension, function of language
Spatial: visual accuracy, ability to read maps, understand space and distance
The next six represent skills that are not measured in standard IQ tests but are talents or abilities that can also be important for success in a variety of fields: These are:
Musical: ability to understand patterns in music, hear pitches, recognize rhythms and melodies
Bodily-kinesthetic: motor coordination, grace of movement, agility, strength
Naturalistic: knowledge of plants, animals, minerals, climate, weather
Interpersonal: understand the emotion, mood, motivation of others; able to communicate effectively
Intrapersonal: understanding of the self, mood, motivation, temperament, realistic knowledge of strengths, weaknesses
Existential: concern about and understanding of life’s larger questions, meaning of life, or spiritual matters
Gardner contends that these are also forms of intelligence. A high IQ does not always ensure success in life or necessarily indicate that a person has common sense, good interpersonal skills or other abilities important for success.
Triarchic Theory of Intelligence
Another alternative view of intelligence is presented by Sternberg (1997; 1999). Sternberg offers three types of intelligences. Sternberg provided background information about his view of intelligence in a conference I attended several years ago. He described his frustration as a committee member charged with selecting graduate students for a program in psychology. He was concerned that there was too much emphasis placed on aptitude test scores and believed that there were other, less easily measured, qualities necessary for success in a graduate program and in the world of work. Aptitude test scores indicate the first type of intelligence-academic.
Academic (componential): includes the ability to solve problems of logic, verbal comprehension, vocabulary, and spatial abilities.
Sternberg noted that students who have high academic abilities may still not have what is required to be a successful graduate student or a competent professional. To do well as a graduate student, he noted, the person needs to be creative. The second type of intelligence emphasizes this quality.
Creative (experiential): the ability to apply newly found skills to novel situations.
A potential graduate student might be strong academically and have creative ideas, but still, be lacking in the social skills required to work effectively with others or to practice good judgment in a variety of situations. This common sense is the third type of intelligence.
Practical (contextual): the ability to use common sense and to know what is called for in a situation.
This type of intelligence helps a person know when problems need to be solved. Practical intelligence can help a person know how to act and what to wear for job interviews, when to get out of problematic relationships, how to get along with others at work, and when to make changes to reduce stress.
Compare Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence. You must have at least 3 points of comparison.
Do you think that these types of intelligences are cultivated in school or at home?
