Chapter 8, Problem 2E
In certain applications, particularly in the financial area, it is often necessary to calculate the number of elapsed days between two dates. For example, the number of days between July 2, 2015, and July 16, 2015, is obviously 14. But how many days are there between August 8. 2014, and February 22, 2015? This calculation requires a bit more thought.
Luckily, a formula can be used to calculate the number of days between two dates. This is affected by computing the value of .N for each of the two dates and then taking the difference, where N is calculated as follows:
N
where:
f if month <= 2
otherwise
g if month <= 2
otherwise
As an example of applying the formula, to calculate the number of days between August 8, 2004, and February 22, 2005, you can calculate the values of N1 and N2 by substituting the appropriate values into the preceding formula as shown:
N1
N2
Number of elapsed days = N2 – N1
= 732,441 – 732,239
= 202
So the number of days between the two dates is shown to be 202. The preceding formula is applicable for any dates after March 1, 1900 (1 must be added to N for dates from March 1, 1800, to February 28, 1900,and 2 must be added for dates between March 1, 1700, and February 28, 1800).

Working with cell addresses
The address of a cell in Google sheets can be specified in two ways: either as a letter-number pair like C5, or as a pair of numbers like "row 5, column 3". Some formulas may be easier to specify on one way or the other, so it's useful to know how to convert from one form to the other and back.
ROW() and COLUMN() take addresses in A1 format and return the number of the row and column respectively.
ADDRESS() takes numeric row and column inputs and returns the address in A1 format. It also has an option argument to specify the relativity of the addresses: 1 (the default) returns absolute addresses; 2, 3, and 4 return row absolute, column absolute, and relative addresses respectively.
In this chapter you'll be working with Indian butterfly data from Singh and Pandey.

A fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…
We usually write numbers in decimal form (or base 10), meaning numbers are composed using 10 different “digits" {0,1, ...,9}.
Sometimes though it is useful to write numbers hexadecimal or base 16. Now there are 16 distinct digits that can be used to form numbers:
{0, 1,...,9, A, B, C, D, E, F}. So for example, a 3 digit hexadecimal number might be 2B8. Assume that digits and letter can be repeated.
a. How many 4-digit hexadecimals are there in which the first digit is E or F?
b. How many 5-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)?

- You need to take a trip by car to another town that you have never visited before. Therefore, you are studying a map to determine the shortest route to your destination. Depending on which route you choose, there are five other towns (call them A, B, C, D, E) that you might pass through on the way. The map shows the mileage along each road that directly connects two towns without any intervening towns. These numbers are summarized in the following table, where a dash indicates that there is no road directly connecting these two towns without going through any other towns. Miles between Adjacent Towns Town A B C DE Destination Origin A 40 60 50 10 70 B 20 55 40 50 10 D 60 E 80 (a) Formulate this problem as a shortest-path problem by drawing a network where nodes represent towns, links represent roads, and numbers indicate the length of each link in miles.

- Here is the assignment Write a program that prints the multiplication table but inserts a randomly generated incorrect value between 1 and 50 into a cell whose row and column are randomly selected. Make sure the program does insert an incorrect value. For example, if row and column of 3 and 4 are randomly selected, keep generating a random number to print for that location until it's not the right value of 12. Then, ask the user to tell where in the table the incorrect number is located by entering the row and column of the incorrect number. Print whether the user was right or not. If he or she was right, ask for and read the correct value; if not, the program must give the correct location and the correct number. My main issue: is how to set up the multiplication table? I've only learned the basics in C++ (loops and if statements).arrow_forwardWhen the robot makes a turn, it would be useful to have an operation to perform on d to represent this turn. This is because after making a turn, the new value of d will depend on the old value of d. Complete the table for the new values of d if the robot is turning left or right.Then determine an expression in terms of d that will give the new position if the robot turns left and another expression if the robot turns right. Type these expressions in the last row of the table. Attached is the table I completed. All rows are correct except the last one. I'm not sure what my error is.arrow_forwardIn mathematics, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers, i.e. is it has only two factors 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself.Note that the prime number series is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, …a.

Write a Java class called PrimeNumbers that: o Reads from the user a natural value n (should be less than or equal 200). o Prints a list of the prime numbers from 2 to n and their number and values. o The program has to work EXACTLY as given in the following sample run.arrow_forward
- This must be done using CORAL language. Primary U.S. interstate highways are numbered 1-99. Odd numbers (like the 5 or 95) go north/south, and evens (like the 10 or 90) go east/west. Auxiliary highways are numbered 100-999, and service the primary highway indicated by the rightmost two digits. Thus, the 405 services the 5, and the 290 services the 90. Given a highway number, indicate whether it is a primary or auxiliary highway. If auxiliary, indicate what primary highway it serves. Also indicate if the (primary) highway runs north/south or east/west. Ex: If the input is: 90 the output is: The 90 is primary, going east/west. Ex: If the input is: 290 the output is: The 290 is auxiliary, serving the 90, going east/west. Ex: If the input is: 0 or any number not between 1 and 999, the output is: 0 is not a valid interstate highway number.arrow_forwardKinetic energy can be calculated with the following formula: KE 1 2 • m is mass in kg • v is velocity in m/s • KE is kinetic energy in J mv² شور در روز Return the Kinetic Energy in Joules, given the mass and velocity. For the purposes of this challenge, round answers to the nearest integer. Examples kinetic Energy (60, 3) → 270 kinetic Energy (45, 10) - 2250 kinetic Energy (63.5, 7.35) → 1715 Notes Expect only positive numbers for inputs.arrow_forwardThe greatest common divisor of two positive integers, A and B, is the largest number that can be evenly divided into both of them. Euclid's algorithm can be used to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two positive integers. You can use this algorithm in the following manner: 1. Compute the remainder of dividing the larger number by the smaller number. 2. Replace the larger number with the smaller number and the smaller number with the remainder. 3. Repeat this process until the smaller number is zero. The larger number at this point is the GCD of A and B. Write a program that lets the user enter two integers and then prints each step in the process of using the Euclidean algorithm to find their GCD. An example of the program input and output is shown below: Enter the smaller number: 5 Enter the larger number: 15 The greatest common divisor is 5arrow_forward
