All Code should be written in C:
1. A perfect number is defined as a number whose proper divisors (factors not including the number itself) add up to the same number. For example, 28 is a perfect number because its perfect divisors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, which add up to 28. Write a C function called is_perfect that takes a since integer as input, and returns 1 if the number is perfect, or 0 otherwise.

2. Using the function you wrote in Q1, write a C program to print out all the perfect numbers between 1 and 10000. There are only 4 such numbers, the largest being 8128.

3. Write your own version of the strcpy() function, called mystrcpy(). This function should take two strings (char pointers) as input, and copy the second string into the first. Test that your function works properly.

4. Write a C function called strdelete() which takes a string (char pointer) and a character as input. The function should then remove any instance of the character from the string. This should be done by shifting all the other characters down one position in the array so the string becomes shorter. For example strdelete("hello world", 'o') will result in the string being "hell wrld".

File has a format Name and number, the number represents power. The name and the (integer) power are separated by some amount of space. Importantly, any line that begins with a hash '#' are comments and they need to be ingored. Write a program that reads from that file, and prints out only the name of the hero with the strongest power. That name should be capitalized (not uppercase, but capitalized, as in 'Galadriel')

Here is the heroes.txt

# DC heroes
# format: "name" "power"
# 57
# 83
hal 12
batman 48
grayson 14
cyclone 24
superman 38
luthor 15
joker 18
drake 33
wayne 42
rayner 18
# below heroes are additional heroes
arrow 22
kord 48
batwoman 37
supergirl 49
stargirl 24
darkseid 41
gardner 28
pennyworth 27
west 12
aquaman 47
kallor 45
arisia 36

What i have so far:

fn = open('heroes.txt')
count = 0

for z in fn:
line = z.strip()
  
if not '#' in line:
print(line.capitalize())
continue
po1 = line.find()
print(po1)

Assess the book publishing industry using Porter’s Five-forces model.

The Book Publishing industry in Australia

  • 20% of books are sold via independent retailers that tend to specialize in a particular genre or prefer unusual (not mainstream) books

  • 70% of books are sold via large retail chains that only deal in mainstream books published by large or long-established publishers who also provide promotional dollars to support their books

  • 10% of books are sold via the internet (e.g. Amazon) and this is expected to dramatically increase as they increasingly capture the time-poor or budget-conscious market segments

  • Book sales have been fairly stable in this mature industry, however they are expected to decline in the future as internet and cable-TV usage increases

  • Australia has one of the highest per capita magazine sales in the world

  • There has been a dramatic increase in self-publishing over the past 10 years, however these books are typically not accepted by retailers and tend to have print runs of less than 1,000

  • E-books would be in the early growth phase of their product life cycle. They currently have relatively low sales but are expected to steadily increase over time

  • There is an increased number of authors in the marketplace, appearing to be driven by easy access to research material (via the internet) and by the increasing popularity of blogs

  • Despite more authors available, there is only a small number of “brand” authors (such as Bryce Courtney) who can attract significant book sales on their name alone

  • Excluding self-published books, there are around 500 new books available in the Australian market each month (including books published internationally)

  • There is an increasing number of large book publishers, as the larger ones battle for market share by acquiring smaller publishing houses

QUESTIONS

  1. Assess the book publishing industry using Porter’s Five-forces model.

  2. What key insights have you gained by assessing this industry using this structured model?

  3. Therefore, what is your overall assessment of the attractiveness of the industry?

  4. How could a firm use Porter’s Five-forces model in their strategy and planning activities?

G&G Furniture Co. produces chairs and tables. The following table gives the profit generated per unit, as well as the amount of wood, labor and other materials required, per unit of each product along with their maximum monthly limits in terms of availability.

Chairs Tables Max Limits
profit $100 $125
Wood 20 lbs per unit 30 lbs per unit 6000 lbs
Other Materials 1 lbs per unit 1 lbs per unit 400 lbs
Labor 1.5 hours per unit 2 hours per unit 300 hours

In addition to the above, you are told that the number of Chairs produced must not be more than 100 units greater than the number of Tables produced. Lastly, you are told that any linear programming solution cannot give non-integer values for the number of Tables and Chairs to be produced.

2 Given that G&G Furniture Co. wants to earn the highest possible profits without violating these constraints, help the company decide how many tables and chairs to produce by answering the following questions:

a) Clearly list down the decision variables, the objective function and the constraints in words. You will be marked for the clarity of your definition of these parameters as well the use of the standard verbal (Step 1) format for these parameters outlined in your textbook (and in class).

b) Clearly provide the mathematical expressions, equations and inequalities for the objective function and the constraints in the summary (Step 2) format prescribed in your textbook (and in class).

c) Formulate the mathematical linear programming model for this problem using Microsoft Excel and use Microsoft Excel Solver Add-in to solve the problem. You will be marked for clarity of formatting and labelling and using the Excel setup correctly.

d) How many of each type of product do you recommend G&G Furniture Co. should produce per month to optimize their level of profit? e) What would be the profit at this level?

Qualitative Predictions about Entropy Entropy is the randomness of a system. At the molecular level, entropy can be described in terms of the possible number of different arrangements of particle positions and energies, called microstates. The more microstates the system has, the greater its entropy. Microstates depend on molecular motion. Molecules may undergo three different types of motion: translational motion, vibrational motion, and rotational motion. During translational motion, the entire molecule moves in one direction. During vibrational motion, atoms in a molecule move toward and away from one another. During rotational motion, molecules rotate or spin. The number of molecules, the space available for the molecules, and the energy available to the molecules will impact the number of microstates. Another way of looking at entropy is that the universe is moving toward a broader distribution of energy. The universe has a constant amount of energy as stated in the first law of thermodynamics. The universe started with low entropy (concentrated in the moment before the "big bang") and the entropy has since been constantly increasing by distributing this energy. Heat distribution from high temperature to low temperature is a another example of this phenomenon. Part A Rank these systems in order of decreasing entropy. Rank from highest to lowest entropy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
