You are required to design and fabricate a composite material to be used for machining hard steels. Use the information presented in your lecture notes and:

i) Identify the type of a composite that you would like to design, then select the appropriate reinforcement and matrix and fully justify your selection.

ii) Select a fabrication route for the designed composite and justify your fabrication process selection with respect to temperature and time

Build a module (file with pre-defined functions) that allows the following code to work properly. The code below should be able to run without any additions or modifications. You may copy and paste it into a file called file_tools_assignment.py and place it in the same directory as the file you will create. The filename of the file you will create should be file_tools.py. The module should contain 2 custom defined functions; get_file_string() and get_file_list(). Download the data.txt file and place it in the same directory with your other two files.

Contents for file_tools_assignment.py:

import file_tools

filename = 'data.txt'

contents = file_tools.get_file_string(filename)
print(contents)

list_of_lines = file_tools.get_file_list(filename)
print(list_of_lines)

(5 points) The get_file_string() function should attempt to get the contents of a file and return it as a string. If no file exists, the return value should be None.

(5 points) The get_file_list() function should return a list where each element in the list corresponds to a line in the file. Note: no newline characters should be present in the elements of the list. Remove those before adding the elements to the list that gets returned. If no file exists, the return value should be an empty list.

Sample output (3 lines in data.txt):

hello world
    I love programming
Python rocks!

['hello world', '    I love programming', 'Python rocks!']

Implement the bubble sort in ML using pattern matching and local function definitions. Show that it works with a few simple examples. A nice description of the bubble sort can be found on Wikipedia.

A helpful function for the bubble sort is:

(* General function that checks if an int list is sorted *)

fun issorted [] = true  

| issorted [x] = true

| issorted (x::y::t) = x <= y andalso issorted(y::t);

Test your solution and show that it works on the following examples:

• bubbleSort []; → []  

• bubbleSort [1]; → [1]  

• bubbleSort [1,2,3]; → [1,2,3]  

• bubbleSort [3,1,2]; → [1,2,3]  

bubbleSort [5,4,3,2,1]; → [1,2,3,4,5]

Write a java program StudentDriver class to test the methods of the Student class.

Use data:
Mary Brown 1234
John Jones 5678
Maty Jones 1234

Note: we are including Mary Jones twice so we can test the "equals" method.
We can test "compareTo", by test student1 and student2, then student2 and student3.

Just submit your driver class as text file.

Make sure you also test addQuiz, getTotalScore, getAverage, and toString. Don't worry about testing all of the sets and gets...

Suppose you find a magnifying glass in a junk drawer at home. You place it directly in between a light bulb and the wall, which are separated by 95 cm. When the lens is 15 cm from the wall it creates a focused image of the bulb. (a) Determine the focal length of the magnifying glass lens. (b) Without moving the light bulb (or the wall) at what other location would the lens project a focused image of the bulb on the wall? (c) Find the ratio of the image sizes of the two cases. (d) If the bulb is moved too close to the wall there will be no way possible to project a focused image – determine this distance and explain.
