This is the first programming project for the course. The details can be found in the attached PDF file, and I have included additional files you will need. You are not required to use the two Python scripts I provided — feel free to write your own scripts from scratch. You will need the CSV data file, however, since it contains all the input data you will need to use. I’ve allotted 2 weeks for the assignment, but extensions are possible should you need one. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions. 

 Need to be done within 12 hours. My major is computer science.

This assignment allows you to practice translating engineering concepts for different audiences and requires you to think about how we use language to convey ideas. Choose a topic that you are familiar with from your major and practice adapting your writing for three audiences:

1. Nonexperts: these readers should include anyone who is not an expert in your own field: high-school students, college students, the general public, even people with advanced non-technical degrees. (Do not write for audiences younger than high-school students.)
2. Experts / peers: as the phrase indicates, this audience should include people with a very similar technical background as yours, which means you can assume they have some familiarity with your subject, but you should still obviously ensure you’re not omitting important details.
3. Executives / administrators: this audience should include people high up within an organization who are likely more interested in “big picture” ideas: e.g., developing the concepts you discuss into marketable/sellable products or devoting research funding to a new lab or degree program. These readers could also include, e.g., people who actually do have an engineering or scientific background but who have not practiced actual hands-on engineering in many years (because they have moved into administration).

Each of the three descriptions should be about 1 page, double-spaced. So the length of the entire paper will be ~3 pages double-spaced.

The assignment comes from a series in Wired magazine Links to an external site.in which an expert explains a high-level concept to five audiences: a child, a teenager, an undergraduate student majoring in the same subject, a graduate student, and a colleague. We will watch at least one of the Wired videos as part of this module, and you should note well the strategies the expert uses to translate the topic to his audience.

1. (TCO 3) Show the source code for a C# console application called “Area” to display the area of a parking lot with length 203.5 ft. and width 30.5 ft. (Note that area is length times width.)

· Declare and initialize appropriate variables for length and width.

· Include at least three descriptive comments.

· State what your program displays when it runs.

· State how you would use the debugger to check the values of your variables as your program runs.

2. (TCO 5) Describe two types of loops that can be used to write the C# code required to print every fifth integer from 0 to 500 (i.e., 0, 5, 10, 15, etc.), each on its own line. Which would be a better choice and why? Write the code using that type of loop. 

3. (TCO 8) Briefly describe how parameter passing by-value and by-reference are accomplished in memory. Write statement 1 to call method A below. Write statement 2 to call method B. Which method uses pass by-value? Which method uses pass by-reference?

static void Main()
{
int balance = 20000;
//statement 1
//statement 2
}
 

//method A
public static void getBalance(ref int balance)
{
balance = balance + 500;
}
 

//method B
public static int getBalance(int balance)
{
return (balance + 500);
}

How could each of the three errors be corrected to improve the user experience?

. (TCO 9) Identify an example of one of each of the following GUI design errors in Figure 2:

· inconsistency

· misalignment

· clutter

6. How do managers decide which alternative design strategy to develop? Please elaborate to explain your point of view.

7. What are the deliverables from coding, testing, and installation? Please elaborate on your answer.

8. List and define the factors that are important to successful implementation efforts. Which is the most important in your opinion and why? Express your point of view.

how do you feel that social interaction has change the way a designer measures usability and human interaction?

After reading Chapter 5, how do you feel that social interaction has change the way a designer measures usability and human interaction? You are required to write a statement that is LIMITED to 150 words. This is an opinion question; therefore, research is not required. Should you cite the work of others, please provide the source of your opinion in APA format.

You must reply to one peer with 100 – 200 words.

 there are alternatives to passwords. Passwords are considered by many to be insecure and easy to break. So what are the alternative and how are they better?

For this discussion you will research alternative to traditional password that are created by users. Choose an article and summarize your chosen alternative method of authentication. Do you think it is a possible alternative? How difficult is it to implement and manage? Is special hardware needed to use it? Does it have its own weaknesses?  These are some of the topics you should be thinking about when you write
