My father use to tell me that “locks keep honest people honest”. What do you think he meant by that? Is there any such thing as total security?

 In chapter 6, the author describes basic components of a business network. Create a new thread, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes. 

****Assignment #4 Makeup – Instead of in-fix notation for our maybe-probably logic language, you should implement the parse, evaluate, and print functions to work with pre-fix notation. The input strings will now be of the form, s = ‘ AND T M_0.5 ‘, and will not need parentheses. 

General structure of your make-up assignment (regardless of which one) should be as follows:

import unittest





class YourClass:

    """

    YOUR CLASS DOCUMENTATAION

    """



    def __init__(self, size):

        """ INSERT COMMMENTS (IN YOUR OWN WORDS) """

        pass



    # ADD YOUR OTHER METHODS HERE...





def YourFunctionA:

    """ DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS FUNCTION """

    pass



    # ADD YOUR OTHER FUNCTIONS HERE (IF NEEDED)...





class TestYourClassOrFuctions(unittest.TestCase):



    def testMethodA(self):

        """ INSERT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THIS TEST IS CHECKING.. """

        pass



    # ADD MORE TESTS TO CHECK YOUR OTHER CLASSES/METHODS/FUNTIONS WORK





# main() - run any example/demo you want to when running as standalone program

def main():

    pass



# unittest_main() - run unittest's main, which will run TestHashTable's methods

def unittest_main():

    unittest.main()



# evaluates to true if run as standalone program

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

    unittest_main()

7. Conclude your paper. Summarize the important aspects of the review.

8. References

Your paper should include 8 centered and bolded headings that correspond to each of the required sections (Introduction, Article’s Purpose and Problem, Content, Article’s Findings and Conclusions, Point of View and Assumptions, Significance, Conclusion, References).

You will also prepare a presentation of this Critical Review during the residency. The presentation should last about 10 minutes and Power Point is required. The presentation rubric provided under the Content Tab in the Getting Started folder will be used to grade the presentation. Follow the same format as the paper for the presentation. Power point is required and the presentation should last 10 minutes. The presentation is worth 50 points and the paper is worth 100 points.

Writing Requirements for all Written Work:

• References must be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
• Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions (even initial discussion posts)
• Provide the exact web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the exact link – I check all sources
• No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
• Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
• Write more than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned
• As always, the word count is only for the body of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper
• Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces
• Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
• Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

 the question is 

The code in project2 is for a program that plays a simple game called Chomp.

The programmers of this project have opted to package some of their code in a “module” called chomp.adt, from which the related files cookie.h and cookie.cpp files can be generated.

The steps necessary to produce this program are:

1. Run the command
   csplit chomp.adt "/Split Here/"
   and copy the resulting file xx00 to cookie.h.
2. Run the command
   csplit chomp.adt "/Split Here/"
   and copy the resulting file xx01 to cookie.cpp.
3. Compile cookie.cpp to produce cookie.o.
4. Compile mainProg.cpp to produce mainProg.o.
5. Link the the .o files to produce an executable program named playChomp

Write a makefile that will carry out these steps. Your makefile should result in only the minimum required amount of steps when any input file to this process is changed. (Note: you will probably not be able to base this makefile upon my self-updating makefile as in the earlier part of the assignment. Instead, you will probably find it necessary to write this one from scratch.

_________________________________________________

I am currently having an issuewith the question above. I am meant to create a makefile that runsthe program like stated above, and currently this is mymakefile:

all: cookie.h cookie.cpp playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o

cookie.h: chomp.adt
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
cp xx00 cookie.h
cp xx01 cookie.cpp
 

playChomp: cookie.o mainProg.o
g++ -o playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o

cookie.o: cookie.cpp
g++ -c cookie.cpp

mainProg.o: mainProg.cpp
g++ -c mainProg.cpp

However, I am receiving this error code:

Your makefile does not build playChomp in 3 distinct g++ stepswhen chomp.adt has been changed:
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
1372
8632
cp xx00 cookie.h
cp xx01 cookie.cpp
g++ -c cookie.cpp
g++ -o playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o

is there anything that I can do to fix my makefile?

Instructions:

Create a FLOWCHART and a PSEUDOCODE for each problem.

Use the information below to create a pseudocode (which can be a text-based description for solving the problems) and a flowchart (using flowchart symbols to illustrate how you would program) to solve each problem. You may use Microsoft Word® for your pseudocode and Microsoft PowerPoint® for your flowchart.

1. Problem:

Create a flowchart and pseudo code to do the following:-

You are going to modify week 4 assignment (2 problems) to use input() function (no hard coded values) to prompt the user to enter the values.

Make sure the prompt message is meaningful, do not say “Enter value”, say something like this “Enter hours worked” after you get all the inputs, display the results and prompt the user if wants more calculation (y/n). If no then print a message like “Thank you for …….”

The flowchart must include a loop and if-then

Discussion: This week we focus on the concept of the balanced scorecard.  Please note what it is and how organizations use balanced scorecards.  Note any alternative methods organizations use instead of the balanced scorecard and why they would use these methods over the balanced scorecard.

Note: The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. I am looking for active engagement in the discussion.  Please engage early and often.

Your response should be 250-300 words.  Respond to two postings provided by your classmates.

Chapters 17/18 – From our weekly chapter reading, digital preservation can be defined as the long-term, error-free storage of digital information, with means for retrieval and interpretation, for the entire time span the information is required to be retained.  Though this assessment holds true to the authors, business organizations continue to face significant challenges in meeting their LTDP needs, especially those organizations whose primary mission is to preserve and provide access to permanent records.

Q1: Looking forward, the authors concluded that, there is going to be a great need for collaboration between both internal and external stakeholders to develop governance policies and strategies to govern and control information assets over long periods of time, among other requirements.  For this to be achievable, the chapter has identified one most important consideration that must be met.  What is that consideration?  Identify, and provide a brief narrative to support your answer.
