unique-assignment-generator-for-A2.zip file from cuLearn. Once you have extracted the
contents to your working folder, use the command prompt to run the generator-for-A2.py
program and then enter and confirm your student number.
Specification for Assignment 1 for COMP1405 (Fall 2016)
Question 1 (of 2)
When you ran the unique assignment generator for this assignment, the program showed you a
collection of 18 cartoon faces as the top three rows of the SimpleGraphics window. For the first
question of this assignment you will create three short programs that will ask the user
questions as though the user is playing a game of Guess Who? using this collection of faces. If
you are completely unfamiliar with this game you should consider visiting the Wikipedia page
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who%3F) and playing an online implementation (such as
the one at http://www.miniplay.gr/?view=gamegid=76).
Each of the programs you write will require you to use the input function to ask the user one or
more yes or no questions. You MUST restrict your questions to asking about whether or not the
players choice of face has a wig, glasses, hat, pipe, moustache, beard, or scar, and each
question can only ask about one of those features. To clarify, you are NOT permitted to ask
questions pertaining to the row, column, eyes, mouth, or any feature other than the seven
listed above.
Your first program (i.e., a2q1a.py) must contain a single if statement that does not use any of
the Boolean operators (i.e., and, or, not), has no elif or else branches, and would only work to
identify one specific face (i.e., ending the game with a single question). To clarify, you can
assume that your program will win if the opponent (i.e., the user) has chosen the only face out
of group of eighteen that can be identified by a single question. For further clarification,
consider the collection of three faces below and note that the only single question that could
conceivably identify one of these three is the question Are you wearing a hat?
Your second program (i.e., a2q1b.py) must contain a single if-else statement that does not
use any of the Boolean operators (i.e., and, or, not), has only a single else branch, and is
guaranteed NOT to identify your opponent. To clarify, regardless of which face your opponent
has chosen, they should end up following the else branch of your statement.
Your third program (i.e., a2q1c.py) must contain a single nested if statement with a depth of
two (i.e., one inner if statement nested inside one outer if statement) that does not use any
of the Boolean operators (i.e., and, or, not). Write this program such that exactly five possible
choices of face should pass the condition of the outer if statement, and only one of those faces
should pass through the condition of the inner if statement.
Specification for Assignment 1 for COMP1405 (Fall 2016)
Question 2 (of 2)
When you ran the unique assignment generator for this assignment, the program also showed
you a collection of 10 arrows as the bottom two rows of the SimpleGraphics window. For the
second question of this assignment you will create two expert systems that will allow the user
to uniquely identify each of these arrows by answering a series of questions.
An expert system represents to a solution to a categorization problem. An expert system is
expected to maintain a database that contains the identity of each element of a large
collection, and then when a user has an unknown element they would like to identify they can
answer questions from the expert system and the expert system can identify the unknown
element. As a clarifying example, suppose the database maintained by an expert system
contained the following four arrows (denoted arrows 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively)
and the user encountered the following unknown symbol, to be identified:
The expert system might ask the user Does the symbol use any curved lines? and if the users
answer is yes then the expert system knows the unknown symbol must be either 1 or 2. The
expert system might then ask Does the symbol point straight upwards?, etc.
Your first expert system (i.e., a2q2a.py) must use a single if-elif-else statement to correctly
identify each of your ten symbols, and this statement must be flat (i.e., not nested). For this
question you are only permitted to ask the user yes or no questions. To accomplish this you will
need to use Boolean operators (i.e., and, or, not) and create conditions such that each
condition only evaluates to True for a single arrow. As a clarifying example you might create the
following flat if statement (for the example included above):
if isCurved == yes and isUpwards == yes:
print(2)
elif isCurved == yes and not(isUpwards == yes):
print(1)

Your second expert system (i.e., a2q2b.py) must use a single nested if statement to correctly
identify each of the ten symbols that you have been assigned. This system is expected to ask as
many non-yes or no questions as possible (e.g., How many solid parts make up the symbol?)
but it must not ask any unnecessary questions. This entails that, unlike your first expert system,
your second system cannot ask all the questions up front some of your input function calls
 
must be made inside the nested loop.

Case Study
Jed: Relapse Prevention Plan
Jed is a 38-year-old welder who came into the treatment center after being arrested for drinking and driving (DUI/DWI). His attorney has suggested that he quit drinking and enter treatment, at least until his trial, which is scheduled to occur in two months. Jed does not anticipate serving jail time, but he believes that treatment could strengthen his legal case. After his first arrest for DUI two years ago, he simply paid a fine and attended a special drivers education program for six weeks. Jed found the program to be a “waste of time.”
Jed has been married for 8 years and has two daughters, aged 8 and 6. He has had numerous arguments with his wife, Emily, concerning his drinking. He gets very angry and defensive when she confronts him about his heavy drinking and he asserts that he is not an alcoholic. He knows this is true because his father was an alcoholic and Jed says that he is not like his father. His father died as the result of a fight that occurred in traffic when he was drunk. Jed says that his father used to “beat the tar” out of him and his brother when he was drunk and that his father always belittled, taunted, and threatened their mother, whether he was drunk or sober. Jed references that his family is Irish and that it was cultural normal to drink and enjoy alcohol and that all of his family and relatives drink in excess.
Jeds work history is very good; he misses less than one day per year. He works the day shift on weekdays, putting in time-and-a-half on most Saturdays. He is well regarded by his supervisors and peers at work. He is fearful that his employer will find out about his treatment (it is being covered by his HMO), and that people at work will learn about the second DUI arrest.
Jed drinks with his buddies from the plant, and does not think that his drinking is any more than what they do. He was just “unlucky” and was caught doing what everyone else seems to get away with. Jeds drinking is very predictable: he drinks 8-9 beers on a weeknight. Several of these are consumed at the bar with friends, the remainder at home over the course of the evening. He usually falls asleep in front of the television. When he is not working on Saturdays, he often drinks several 12-packs between Friday and Sunday. A typical Saturday involves getting up at 10:00 a.m., playing soccer with friends, and going to the bar for the rest of the day and night. This pattern leads to arguments with Emily, who calls him a “lousy father.” At times, Jed has had unsettling episodes of being unable to recall what happened while drinking. He has commented to friends that “maybe I overdo it a bit.” Several times, he has attempted to cut down on his drinking, especially after the last DUI. He once attended a few AA meetings, but did not feel that AA was helpful: It was listening to a lot of guys whining… and he especially did not care for the prayers.
Despite these attempts, Jed has experienced increased consumption levels over the past 2 years. He admits that, as a result of the drinking, he has become increasingly estranged from his wife and daughters. Jed feels that his marriage has been basically good, but that he would not blame Emily for leaving him, the way things have been going lately. She will no longer sleep with him while he is intoxicated, which occurs regularly. She complains that the house is falling apart because Jed does not keep up with his chores. He believes that his marriage would become solid again, if he stopped overdoing the drinking, but he complains about her hassling him about the alcohol.
Jed is not close to his remaining family members. His mother is very religious and wishes Jed would see religion as a way out of his problems. His siblings live in other communities and they rarely get together. His wife and daughters regularly attend his mothers church, but Jed only attends on Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday.
Jed is distraught about having to remain abstinent in preparation for the trial. He has trouble getting to sleep without alcohol. He also “gets jumpy” when he tries to stay away from drinking, feeling “closed in or like he is suffocating.” Jed reports that he is not used to socializing without alcohol and alcohol helps him relax and be more social with people.
Jed is willing to go to AA meetings only because he knows they may be court ordered and it may be better for his legal case. He does struggle with the philosophy of AA. He does not like the spirituality part of the program and does not like when people talk about God.
He does believe that he can go to the bars with his friends and not drink. He does think that he can increase his sports activities to help him not drink although many of his friends who play also drink.

The essay should have the following elements:
 
 
 

an engaging introductory paragraph.  You might even want to cite sources in the opening paragraph to make your opening engaging to the reader.
an effective and clear thesis statement
a statement of definitions and background on the topic on which you are writing. 

You will want to define any terms necessary for the reader.
You may want to provide a historical background on your topic.

unified, supported, and coherent body paragraphs that defend the thesis

•    Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.?▪ Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate APA format with correct grammar, usage, and ?mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. ?Context ?African explorer and geographer, meteorologist, psychologist, statistician, and geneticist Sir (knighted in 1909) Francis Galton—cousin to Charles Darwin—lived a life of extraordinary measures, literally. In Galtons biography, Extreme Measures: The Dark Visions and Bright Idea of Francis Galton , Martin Brookes (2004) writes: ?His measuring mind left its mark all over the scientific landscape. Explorer, inventor, meteorologist, psychologist, anthropologist and statistician, Galton was one of the great Victorian polymaths. ?But it was in the fledgling field of genetics that he made his most indelible impression. Galton kick-started the enduring nature-nurture debate, and took hereditary determinism ?to its darkest extreme. Consumed by his eugenic 1 vision, he dreamed of a future society built on a race of pure-breeding supermen. (p. 3) ?Show More ?1 According to the Oxford American Dictionary, eugenics is the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis. ?
 
As you explore this idea, consider how differences in both biology and social environment impact how people learn and remember.

Assessment Instructions
Although many effects in memory and psychology in general are presented as universal, applying to everyone at all times and at all places, there are important differences among individuals in how they process and recall information. For instance, demographic differences such as age, gender, and culture of origin may have an impact on how we remember; other dimensions of individual difference may be intelligence, creativity, and motivation. Some of these differences are related to biology, others are related to the social environment, and some are related to both.
As you prepare for this assessment, research how one of these variables will change how people experience a learning situation—for example, learning a foreign language, remembering the names of people at a party, or studying for a biology exam or other academic test. Think how this dimension could explain the differences between your own experiences and those of others you know.
Directions
For this assessment, complete the following:
•    Describe a learning context of interest—for example, learning a foreign language, studying for an exam, or remembering names at a party. Feel free to use an example from one of the other assessments in the course. Describe the types of memory and learning involved and the memory and learning problems involved (for instance, problems with memory such as forgetting, amnesia, and the tip-of-the-tongue effect). Write up a case study where two people learn and experience a learning situation differently. Note that you can contrast circumstances involving memory deficits and also circumstances of exceptional performance. ?
•    Find at least three peer-reviewed research articles that help you understand individual learning differences. In other words, how could the result change due to individual differences such age, gender, or culture? Summarize these sources. Apply the scholarship you have found to explain how the individuals in your case study learn and remember differently. Describe the methods and measures used in research that seeks to understand individual learning differences. ?
•    How would you apply the knowledge you have gained regarding individual differences and learning and memory in your personal or professional life? ?
Strive to be as concise as possible and limit the length of your completed assessment to no more than 5–6 pages, excluding the title page and reference page. Support your statements and analyses with references and citations from at least three resources.
Additional Requirements
• Include a title page and a reference page. • Use at least three resources.?• Follow APA format.
▪ Note : You may use the APA Paper Template linked in the Resources. This resource is not required. • Use 12-point, Times New Roman font.
• Double-space your paper.?
 

Create the algorithm that will solve the following problem definition

Create the algorithm that will solve the following problem definition: !A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, one gallon of paint and eight hours of labor will be required. The company charges $18.00 per hour for labor. The program will allow the user to enter the number of rooms to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. It should also ask for the length and height of wall in each room (assumption: room dimensions are square). !The program will have methods that determine: !the square footage of the room (height of wall times length of wall = 1 wall) assume the room is square the number of gallons of paint required the hours of labor required the cost of the paint the labor charges the total cost of the paint job !It should then display the following information on the screen: !total square footage number of gallons of paint required and the cost the labor charges total cost of the paint job !Create 3 sets of test data. !!User defined methods !1) calculateSquareFootage calculate the square footage which is the length of walls times the height of walls = 1 wall. For example for a room that is 12 feet by 10 feet and ceiling height is 9 feet:
1st wall = length x height 12 x 9 = 108 square footage = 108 x 2 = 216 2nd wall = length height 10 x 9 = 90 square footage = 90 x 2 = 180
1st wall + 2nd wall = room 216 + 180 = 396 !This method will return the square footage of the room as a double value. !algorithm: ( (lengthOfRoom * heightOfRoom) + (widthOfRoom *heightOfRoom)) *2 2) PaintNeeded the number of gallons of paint required note: pass in double that contains the square footage returns an int which holds the number of gallons round up !algorithm: calculate paintNeeded = (squarefootage/115) round up paintNeeded to nearest whole number that is greater than itself (use the Math.ceil() method) !!!
3) hoursRequired the number of hours needed for the job 8 hours for each 115 square feet to be painted note: pass in double that contains the square footage returns an double which holds the number of hours needed to pain the room
algorithm: calculate hoursRequired = (squarefootage / 115) * 8 hours return hourseRequired !
!!4) costOfPaint calculate the cost for the paint for the room note: pass an int value paintRequired returns double which contain the cost of paint $50 for each gallons (squarefootage / 115) (# of gallons) (cost of gallon) 3.44 4 50 200 paint cost
5) LaborCharges calculate the cost for the labor to paint the room note: pass in double that contains the hours needed to paint the room returns double which contain the cost of labor cost per hour is 18$ hours needed times cost per hour = 27.52 18 = 495.36
6) totalCost calculate the cost to paint the room note: pass in double cost to paintroom pass in double cost of paint and double cost of labor return double contains the cost to paint the room LaborCharges + costOfPaint = totalCost 495.36 + 200 = 695.36
Algorithm for main method: !prompt user to enter number of rooms while number of rooms is not valid (must be greater than one) display error message to user prompt user to enter number of rooms end while prompt user for price per gallon of paint while price of paint is not valid display error message to user prompt user for price per gallon of paint end while For Each room that needs to be painted get squareFootage = call calculateSquareFootage() method accumulate squareFootage to totalSquareFootage End For Each get paintNeeded = call paintRequired() method passing in squareFootage get paintCost = call method costOfPaint() passing in paintNeeded get laborHours = call method numberOfHours() passing in squareFootage get laborCharges = call method laborCharges() passing in laborHours calculate costToPaintRoom = paintCost + laborCharges display totalSquareFootage, paintNeeded, paintCost, laborHours and laborCharges display totalCost

I. Write the class  MailOrder to provide the following functions:
 
Set up one one-dimensional array for each field: product number (integer), unit price (double), and current inventory level (integer) in main memory to hold the above product information. There should be five rows (0 to 4) in each array, one for each item. For example, row 0 of the array for the product number is to hold the product number of product 1. Row 0 of the array for the unit price is to hold the unit price of product 1.  Row 0 of the array for the current inventory level is to hold the current inventory level of product 1, etc.
 
 The system should accept incoming sales orders until the user chooses to quit.  In each sales order, a user can buy more than one item.  For each item, the system accepts the product number and the quantity to be purchased.  The system retrieves the correct unit price and current inventory level for that particular item.  The system only sells up to the current inventory available.  If the system can sell x pieces of this item in this order, the system calculates and displays the total amount for this item and also decreases the item inventory level by x immediately.  When the user has finished keying in all the items of an order, the system displays the order total amount. 
 
When the user says there are no more orders, the system displays the daily sales total. This is the total sales amount of all the orders processed.  Then the system should end the execution of the system.
 
Detailed description of how the system should work is as follows:
 
When the system is run: 
Display the following main question:
 
Please enter the next action ( a new order and ): user enters 1 or 2
 
If the user enters any value other than 1 and 2, then the system displays an error message and displays the above question until the user has entered either 1 or 2.
If the user chooses entering a new order (1), then display the next product number question:
Please enter the next product number to buy (1 – 5 or -99 = end): user enters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or -99
 
If the user enters a value that is not one of -99, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, then repeat this question again until the user has entered one of the acceptable values.
 

If user enters -99, this means the end of the current order:

 
Display order summary, for example:
 
Order Total Amount:      $  72.83
 
Add this order total amount to the daily sales total amount.
The system should go back to asking the main question, as shown above.
 

If the user enters 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (these are product numbers), this is the next item to be purchased:

 
If the current inventory level of this product is 0, display “This item is out of stock. Please pick another one.” The system goes back to asking for the next product number, as shown above.
 
If the current inventory level is 0, display “Unit Price: the unit price of this item “ and “Current Quantity Available: the current inventory level of this item”
ask for the quantity ordered, “Enter quantity ordered: “ user enters the quantity ordered.
           
If the quantity available is smaller than the quantity ordered, sell only the quantity available. Otherwise, sell the ordered quantity.
 
Display “Quantity Sold: the quantity that can be sold”
Calculate the amount for this item as Unit Price * Quantity Sold.
                              Display the amount for this item: “Item Amount: $ the amount calculated”
                              Add this amount to the current order total amount.
                              Since this item has been sold, update the current inventory level of this item.
 
 
Repeat the above until the user enters -99 for the next product number to buy.
 
Then the system displays the main question again and repeats the above until the user enters a 2.
 
If the user chooses ending the whole order entry operation (2), then the system displays the daily sales total amount and ends the execution.
 
II. Write the class  MailOrderTesting to provide the following functions:
 
In method main of this application, instantiate an object of MailOrder and call the method processOrders of this MailOrder object to start order processing.
