An alien spaceship has landed in your backyard full of various types of aliens. They all are saying “I come in peace”,
but you’re not so sure. You consult your
trusty guide to alien encounters to find out
that that there are three criteria that
determine if an alien is telling the truth:
number of heads, type of weapon and
intensity of their eyes.
 Friendly features: squirt gun as weapon
 Unfriendly features: weapon (as long as it’s
not a squirt gun), beady eyes, more than two
heads

 Don’t ask about the type of weapon if you know the alien does not have a weapon
 If an alien has two or more unfriendly features he is unfriendly
o So beady eyes, three heads, but no weapon & the alien is an enemy
o So squirt gun, regardless of other features, the alien is friendly

 Create the document in using Microsoft Office Word or Power Point or the Open Office equivalent, as
long as I am able to open it.
 Start with a pseudocode. Write the pseudocode in English, step by step what you need to do to solve the
problem. There are many ways this can be done. Take your time and think about it.
 No flowchart is required, but you can certainly draw one if it helps you.
 put your name, date, section, and description of the program at the top of the page.
 save the file lastname_ch3AlienPseudocode

Create a program that will prompt for user information for a Web site. Use a structure to store the data. The structure will need to include the following items:

1. First Name - string
2. Last Name - string
3. Full Name - string
4. Birth Date   - int (assume format yyyymmdd)
5. IsLeasingAutomobile - bool
6. yearlySalary - float

Create a single structure from the items listed above.

Prompt for all items except "Full Name" and load the input directly into a variable based on this structure .

After the data is loaded, pass the structure by reference to a method called "loadFullName". Inside the "loadFullName" method, load the Full Name data item with a string that is a combination of First Name, space, Last Name. The full name must be converted to uppercase. After the loadFullName has executed, display the value of all the data items in the variable structure.

Review of tasks:

a. Create User Structure

b. Assign a Variable to a User Structure

b. Load the Variable Structure Data

c. Pass the Variable Structured Data to "loadFullName"

d. Display the values of the variable structure.

Note: Input for a boolean var is 0 for false and 1 for true. Adding this line to display once will help display the word false or true in the output.

std::cout << std::boolalpha; 

cout << "is Leasing = " << VarStrucName.isLeasingAutomobile << endl;  // will display true or false - with not 0 being true

Hi. I am running into trouble solving the problem below and would greatly appreciate a step-by-step explanation on how to arrive at the correct answers and explanations:

SHIELD, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total $787,200, of which $556,800 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,400 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were $230,600, and actual fixed overhead costs were $556,250.

1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. How would you interpret the spending variance? Discuss the possible interpretations of the volume variance. Which is most appropriate for this example?

2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. How is the variable overhead spending variance like the price variances of direct labor and direct materials? How is it different? How is the variable overhead efficiency variance related to the direct labor efficiency variance?

Note: please try to give your calculations and explanations on Word or excel sheet as handwriting is sometimes difficult to read.

I would appreciate detailed calculations so I can better understand how to arrive at the correct answer.

Question 2

Nimbus Inc. makes brooms and then sells them door-to-door. Below you will find the relationship between the number of workers and Nimbus’s output in a given day.

1. Fill in the column for marginal products. What pattern do you see?

2. A worker costs $100 a day, and the firm has fixed costs of $200. Use this information to fill in the total cost column, consult your notes for the formula.

3. Fill in the column for average total cost. What pattern do you see?

4. Now fill in the column for marginal cost. Consult your notes for the formula. What pattern do you see?

5. Compare the column for marginal product and the column for marginal cost. Explain the relationship.

6. Compare the column for average total cost and the column for marginal cost. Explain the relationship.

please use word to answer the questions. thank you

Why is my C code counter returning the wrong output?

void removeLn(char *tPtr) {
for (; *tPtr != '\0'; tPtr++) {
if (*tPtr == '\n') {
*tPtr = '\0';
}
}
}
This is a method I wrote that essentially replaces the \n in a text file with a null.

int counter(FILE *filePtr) {
char ln[length];
int counter = 0;

while (fgets(ln, length, filePtr) != NULL) {
char *r;
  
for (r = ln; *r != '\0';) {
while (isspace(*r)) {
r++;
}
if (*r == '\0') {
break;
} else {
count++;
}
r++;
}
return(counter);
}
}
This function goes through a text file, goes past spaces, stops if it points to null, increments count for each word in the text file, and goes until it points to neither a space or a null.

This code is giving me two different outputs. For instance, if a test txt file is 19 characters, if I call it with ./counter and then input the file path, I get 18. However, if I run it ./counter example.txt, I'll get 12. I can't make it out why and where it's wrong. Any help would be a big help...

EDIT: I changed == to = and now both answers are consistent and I am short by 7. 12 is now actual, 19 expected

Example Output:
Why hello there friend.
How are you doing today.
I am doing honestly *very* well,
The sun is coming!

Expected 19
Actual 12

Description: The goal of this assignment is to compare the empirical complexity of two sorting algorithms: a) Heap sort and b) Radix sort.

Instructions:

- Implement the above two sorting algorithms using Java or any other programming language.

- Repeatedly generate random input instances containing 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 15000, … 50 000. The generated numbers must be between 0 and 100.

- Execute both algorithms to sort the randomly generated arrays.

- Compare the running time of both algorithms and validate their theoretical complexity.

Comment your source code and upload it along with a Word document presenting your results. The report should contain plots illustrating the obtained results and facilitating the comparison of the time complexity of both algorithms.

Hints: The theoretical time complexity for a Heap sort algorithm is O (n log n) and O(d(n+b)) for the Radix sort. As above indicated, b is 10 and d is 3. Considering that configuration, the empirical time complexity of Radix sort should be better than the Heap sort.

Extra: Empirical Study of the impact of d

What if the randomly generated numbers become between 0 and 10 000000 instead of 0-100. Will the Radix algorithm continue to perform better than heap sort? If not, what is the value of d at which Heap sort becomes better than Radix sort. Vary d and re-plot the performance of both algorithms.

A Java program that deciphers each message by building the string. Each line of the text file contains either a word or a command followed by a forward slash and the requirements of the command. A Stack Implementation is needed as. As you read the data from the text file, you need to know if it is a new phrase or command.

The commands are:

i – an insert followed by the letters, numbers, or symbols that need to be inserted into the phrase, followed by the start index where the characters are to be inserted.

d – a delete followed by the start index and end index, deletes all the characters from the start index up to but not including the ending index.

a – an append followed by the letters to be added to the end on the phrase.

u – an undo of the previous instruction (does not undo the instructions p, c, u, or the initial phrase), multiple undo’s in a row are possible.

p – print the current phrase as it is or a completed message after all the instructions.

c – clear the message decoder, to start over with a new phrase and instruction set.

empty line or space – separates each phrase.

Example (txt file):
