Exercise 12-25 (Algorithmic)
Fair Value and Equity Methods

Nadal Corporation purchased 8,800 common shares of Beck Inc., on January 1, 2018, for $107,000. During 2018, Beck declared and paid cash dividends to Nadal in the amount of $7,000. Nadal's share of Beck's net income for 2018 was $5,700. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the 10,000 shares was $122,000. This is Nadal's only investment.

A Phone class has 4 instance variables

• Model name ("iPhone12","Galaxy")

• RAM (number of gigs such as 8 and12)

• Storage (number of gigs such as 128 and 512)

• Screen of type class Screen as described below.

A Screen has 3 instance variables:

• Screen type ("AMOLED", "LCD")

• Screen size (decimal number such as 6.2 and 10.1)

• Screen ppi (448, 630, 300)

Q1) Code two class-shell for both classes. The names and types of the instance variables have deliberately been left up to you (14m)

Q2) Code a 6-parameter contractor for class Phone  (12m)

• Do not rely on any auto-initialisation

• You can assume mutators exist for all instance variables

Q3) Code the toString method that should print all the specifications of the object that is invoked on. (8m)

Q4) Code a method called normalize() that accepts an array of integers 'intAr' and returns an array of doubles 'doubleAr'. The returned array must have the same length as the input. The method should convert any range of values in 'intAr' into 0..1 range. (10m)

For example:

if intAr=[-100,-50,0,50,100], doubleAr=[0.0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0]

How to normalize data?

where:

• doubleAr[i] is the ith element in the output array doubleAr

• intAr[i] is the ith element in the input array intAr

• min(intAr) is the minimum value in the input array intAr

• max(intAr) is the maximum value in the input array intAr

In 2019, Police Officer Amber Guyger was convicted of the murder of Botham Jean in a 2017 case in which she entered his apartment and shot him thinking he was an intruder in her own nearby apartment, according to her testimony. Guyger was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The younger brother of Botham spoke in court after the conviction was read stating that he forgave Guyger and requested that he be allowed to hug her, which he did. Here is a video news report on it: LINK (Links to an external site.). Here is a video of Tervor Noah's comment and views on the case: LINK (Links to an external site.). [1] What is your response to what Brandt Jean, brother of the murdered Botham Jean, did in court? Do you believe forgiving someone who has deeply wronged us is a moral duty or is the act of forgiving something extra that goes above and beyond what is one’s duty? Explain your answer.

[2] What is your response to the analysis and commentary of Trevor Noah on the Guyger case? Based on what Trevor says and based on the NPR Podcast interview with Jemar Tisby, what do you think about the question of "whether the public expects black victims to provide forgiveness to white perpetrators" (NPR Podcast 2019, link (Links to an external site.))?

Globally, one of the most affected sector for sure is 'Education System'. Currently more than 80% of all students in 173 countries are in a lockdown and try to get education remotely. Although the prior status in education was not promising - only 53% of the students 10 years old can understand the text they read - now we are in a worse situation. News about drop out students, schools getting closed are spreading because the lack of infrastructure for remote education. Obviously non of the countries were prepared for such a lockdown because of a pandemy. What can be done for these stuations? How? With what funds? What should we invest on as a startup point of view? etc. Please write as much ideas as you can to find out multiple solutions.

Write a pyhton program to read from a file the names and grades of a class of students, to calculate the class average, the maximum, and the minimum grades. The program should then write the names and grades on a new file identifying the students who passed and the students who failed. The program should consist of the following functions:

a) Develop a dataInput() function that reads data from a file and stores it and returns it as a dictionary. The function has one argument which is the name of the file where the data is entered. Each line on the file should contain the record of one student holding his or her name and the corresponding grade.

b) Write a second function dataStats() that iterates over the list or dictionary and determines the statistics on the average, minimum, and maximum of the grades and return these statistics as a list.

c) Write a third function dataEval() that will iterate over the dictionary or list and write on a new file named Class_Results.txt the names of students whose grades are greater or equal to 60, preceded by the message “Passing Students”. Then the names of students whose grades are lower than 60 should written on the file, preceded by the message “Failing Students”. Finally, the class statistics should be written on the file, also preceded by the message “Class Statistics”.

d) Write a main program that coordinates the operation of the three developed functions. The program should inform the user of what is its function and request from the user the name of the file where class names and grades are written. Form you own data file, Class_Data.txt that have the following entries : Galia, 96 -Elias, 81 -Hussein, 84 -Joseph, 80 -Tarek, 93 -Joe, 81 -Fidele, 71 -Shant, 95 -Ali, 67 -Firas, 70 -Giorgiou, 55 -Hashem, 72
