This assignment is for you to gain hands-on experiences of our weekly (week 9) covered topics including Queue, Heap, and Priority Queue. In this assignment, you need to write Java programs that meet the following requirements:

=== Basic Requirements (100 ‘pts) ===

1) (50 ‘pts) Implement a MyQueue class that supports the following interfaces within O(1) time:

1.1) int size(); //return the total number of stored elements
1.2) boolean isEmpty(); //return if the queue is empty
1.3) void offer(E val); //enqueue an element val for generic type E
1.4) E poll(); //remove head and return the removed value, return null if isEmpty()
1.5) E peek(); //return head, return null if isEmpty()

2) (50 ‘pts) Based on our class demonstration of MinHeap implementation, write a MaxHeap class that at least supports all the queue interfaces stated above as in 1).

=== Bonus (20 ‘pts) ===

a) (10 ‘pts) In the above requirement 2) MaxHeap, can you implement a class method: heapify(E[] arr) that takes in an array input, and transfer that array into a max heap?

b) (10 ‘pts) Inspired by the above practices, now revisite Leetcode 912. Sort An Array, this time use heap sort to conquer this coding challenge. Make sure your submission passes all Leetcode test cases. 

Minimum of two and a half pages with no plagiarism.

Please answer all the questions mentioned in the screenshots.

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)

• How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

• End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?

(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)

• The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)

• Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)

• How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
• How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.

(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)

Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

In writing a clear and concise memo in response to senior management queries, you are demonstrating your communication skills, technical expertise, and responsiveness to customer/client needs and concerns.  

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

• 1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension. 
• 1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas. 
• 2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position. 
• 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs. 
• 10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies. 
• 12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls. 
• 12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored. 

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and back up your responses with facts and examples.

Project managers are responsible for every aspect of a project, from its start date until project completion. A project is something that is intended to have short shelf life and is an activity of manufacturing something that is useful and different in nature (Management Study Guide, 2021 para. 1). This paper will describe and detail the reason for selection of the groups top project, predicated on the project’s anticipated goals, benefits, and key success criteria. The group selected the home addition as their top project. This paper will also describe the three potential projects the team discussed, analyzed, and selected. 

The three project potential selections are home addition, garage conversions to an apartment, and a flash mob projects.

• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)
