One of the things discussed in this chapter is the sorting of data. Imagine that a large medical center hires you to write a program that displays a list of potential organ recipients. The hospital's transplant team will consult this list if they have an organ available for transplant. The hospital administrators have instructed you to sort potential recipients by last name and display them in alphabetical order. If more than 10 patients are waiting for a particular organ, the first 10 patients will be displayed; a doctor can either select one or move on to view the next 10 patients. You are concerned that this program will unfairly select patients whose last names begin near the front of the alphabet. It's critical that the hospital has a program written quickly, as the hospital currently has no method of going through potential organ recipients. Based on this, answer the following questions in detail: Would you write and install the program? If yes, would you change anything about the program? (be specific if you would change it) If no, why not? (be specific)

Generating statistics from a set of data is a task that computers love. In this assignment, you will be implementing a grade processing system that will generate the mean and standard deviation for a set of final exam grades. We will assume that final grades are stored in a list, where each entry in the list is a string with the following format: "studentNum-finalGrade%" The string represents the final exam mark (finalGrade) that the student (studentNum) achieved. For example, the cell below contains a list of final exam marks from two students. Student 1007089 achieved a mark of 91%, and student 1009989 achieved a mark of 77.5%. grades = ['1007089-91%','1009989-77.5%' ] We want to calculate the mean final exam mark from a list of grades. If we assume that we have N grades, the mean x can be calculated from the following formula: N-1 1 (1) i=0 The variable x; represents each grade in our list at index i. We assume that we start counting at 0. We also want to be able to calculate the…
PYTHON In order to parse data to start a simulation, users must enter data correctly. Suppose that the simulation requires 2 information from the user, which is called 'soil_key' and 'soil_data.' The user will enter 'soil_key' first, following with 'soil_data.' We need to check if the user enters the 'soil_data' data correctly. All elements in soil data ('soil_data') must be characters defined in the soil keys ('soil_key'). Both soil_key and soil_data are lists. Consider an example: INPUT: soil_key = ['C', 'Clay', ' B', 'Bedrock', ' V', 'Void'] soil_data1 = [ ['V', 'C', 'V'], ['C', 'V', ' '], ['B', 'M', 'B'] ] soil_data2 = [ ['B', 'C', 'V'], ['C', 'V', ' B'], ['B', 'C', 'B'] ] OUTPUT: soil_data1: check data again. Parsing failed! soil_data2: Parsing successfully. Write a python function that checks if the soil data is being entered correctly. Return True and print 'Parsing successfully' for correct data. Otherwise, return False and tells the user 'check data again. Parsing…
please code in python A mining company conducts a survey of an n-by-n square grid of land. Each row of land is numbered from 0 to n-1 where 0 is the top and n-1 is the bottom, and each column is also numbered from 0 to n-1 where 0 is the left and n-1 is the right. The company wishes to record which squares of this grid contain mineral deposits. The company decides to use a list of tuples to store the location of each deposit. The first item in each tuple is the row of the deposit. The second item is the column. The third item is a non-negative number representing the size of the deposit, in tons. For example, the following code defines a sample representation of a set of deposits in an 8-by-8 grid.deposits = [(0, 4, .3), (6, 2, 3), (3, 7, 2.2), (5, 5, .5), (3, 5, .8), (7, 7, .3)]Given a list of deposits like the one above, write a function to create a string representation for a rectangular sub-region of the land. Your function should take a list of deposits, then a set of parameters…
In C++Monkey Business A local zoo wants to keep track of how many pounds of food each of its three monkeys eats each day during a typical week. Write a program that stores this information in a two-dimensional 3 × 5 array, where each row represents a different monkey, and each column represents a different day of the week. The program should first have the user input the data for each monkey. Then, it should create a report that includes the following information: Average amount of food eaten per day by the whole family of monkeys. The least amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey. The greatest amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey. Write functions: average() least() greatest() main()
A contact list is a place where you can store a specific contact with other associated information such as a phone number, email address, birthday, etc. Write a program that first takes in word pairs that consist of a name and a phone number (both strings), separated by a comma. That list is followed by a name, and your program should output the phone number associated with that name. Assume the search name is always in the list. Ex: If the input is: Joe, 123-5432 Linda, 983-4123 Frank, 867-5309 Frank the output is: 867-5309
This year, UCF Football had a perfect home season. In home football games our team as scored 36, 63, 20, 24, 14, 49, and 17 points. Our opponents have scored 31, 14, 16, 7, 10, 17, and 13. Taking this data, I would like you to create two lists. One keeping track of all the points we have scored, and another for all the points scored against us. How would you create a program that does the following: Total Scored and total opponent scored (Print both answers on the same line) Average of both lists rounded to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places) (Print both answers on the same line) The average points of victory (average number of points UCF has won by, 2 decimal places, print both answers on the same line) Merge the two lists together and determine the highest and lowest scored in the game. (HINT: must merge lists together before determine the high and low values to receive full points, print both answers on the same line) This program should have 4 lines of output. Note:…
Suppose a list contains marks earned in the courses CSE110, PHY111, and MAT110 of each student consecutively in a nested list form. Your task is to take a course name as input from the user and sort the list based on the marks obtained in that course in order to finally print the names of the students in descending order of marks obtained i.e. from the student who earned the highest marks to the student who earned the lowest. For example, the list may look likelst = [ ["Alan", 95, 87, 91], ["Turing", 92, 90, 83], ["Elon", 87, 92, 80], ["Musk", 85, 94, 90] ]where for each nested list, 1st index holds the name of the student, 2nd index is total marks earned in the CSE110 course, 3rd index is PHY111 marks and 4th index is MAT110 marks. ===================================================== Hint:You may create a function for sorting, then call it every time when needed instead of rewriting the code. You may get the data in the individual lists from the given nested list.…

Java program You have been hired at an open-air mine. You are to write a program to control a digger. For your task, you have been given a `map' of all the underground resources in the mine. This map comes as a file. The file has n rows. Each row has n space-separated integers. Each integer is between zero and one hundred (inclusive). The file should be understood to represent a grid, n wide by n deep. Each square in the grid can contain valuable resources. The value of these resources can go from zero (no resources) to 100 (max resources). The grid maps the resources just below the surface, and down to the lowest diggable depths. The digger starts at the surface (so, just on top of the topmost row in the grid)—at any horizontal position between 1 and n. The digger cannot dig directly downwards, but it can dig diagonally in either direction, left-down, or right-down. In its first time-step, it will dig onto the first row of the grid. In its second time-step, it'll hit the second row,…
Assignment 5A: Multiple Frequencies. In the last assignment, we calculated the frequency of a coin flip. This required us to have two separate variables, which we used to record the number of heads and tails. Now that we know about arrays, we can track the frequency of all numbers in a randomly generated sequence. For this program, you will ask the user to provide a range of values (from 1 to that number, inclusive) and how long of a number sequence you want to generate using that number range. You will then generate and save the sequence in an array. After that, you will count the number of times each number occurs in the sequence, and print the frequency of each number. Hints: You can use multiple arrays for this assignment. One array should hold the number sequence, and another could keep track of the frequencies of each number. Sample Output #1: What's the highest number you want to generate?: 5 How Long of a number sequence do you want to generate?: 10 Okay, we'll generate 10…
Grades 0-100 will be assigned randomly in a series with 30 elements. Taking their averages (shown on the screen), those above the average will be divided into an array and the ones below will be divided into an array by the function named "plenty" (two different sequences will be obtained). (Pointer is required.)Then, with the function named "gor", the grades of the whole class, those above the average, those below the average will be displayed on the screen.Write the C program code that performs the above operations.
