Programming Assignment #5: Graph Solution to the Water Container Problem

What is the assignment?

• To implement a function that uses a graph-search approach to produce a “path” that represents a solution to the water container problem.
• See the following wikipedia page for more information about this problem, which dates back much further than the Die-Hard movie that it appears in 😉
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pouring_puzzle (Links to an external site.)

What to hand in?

• One (and only one) *.py file should be handed in. All your checks, unit tests should be inside of this file.
• The name of the function in your program should be findWaterContainerPath, and it should except three integer arguments. 
• Note that your program should be able to run at the console/terminal (e.g. $ python your_file.py). If it does not, then the execution portion of the assignment will be 0. 

What needs to be done?

• Ultimately, all that needs to be done is to have a function, named findWaterContainerPath, return a list of states that represents a solution to the water container problem. 
• Note that each state can be thought of a vertex on a graph, and the transitions between the states can be thought of as the edges. 
• To successfully implement the function you will need to figure out what all of the possible state transitions (i.e. edges). You’ll then perform a BFS across all of these states; adding a state to your final solution path when it is used (and being sure to not add, or to remove, states that are not on the solution path).

Be careful… 

• As with all assignments, do not copy code from the internet, and do not share/copy code directly from others. There are lots of poor implementations of this problem online, so even if you look at some to better understand the problem, be sure that you implement your own so that you can be confident that you understand what each step is doing. 
• Remember, copying/sharing code is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. If you are found to have been doing this, then the grade for this assignment may be a zero, and a report with the Dean of Students may be filed. 

Getting Started

• Use the following code to get started if you like. If, however, you decide not to, be sure that you still name your function “findWaterContainerPath”, and that it accepts the three given arguments. 

import math

import unittest



def findWaterContainerPath(a, b, c):

    """ DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS FUNCTION """

    starting_state = (0, 0)

    final_path = list()

    final_path.append(starting_state)



    """ THIS IS WHERE THE REAL WORK FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE """



    return final_path



""" ADD ANY OTHER (HELPER) FUNCTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED HERE """





class TestWaterContainerGraphSearch(unittest.TestCase):



    def testFindWaterContainerPath(self):

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

        """ IMPLEMENT YOUR FIRST TEST HERE """

        pass



    """ ADD MORE TESTS TO CHECK YOUR FUNCTIONS WORKS FOR OTHER VALUES """





def main():

    capacity_a = input("Enter the capacity of container A: ")

    capacity_b = input("Enter the capacity of container B: ")

    goal_amount = input("Enter the goal quantity: ")



    # ADD SOME TYPE/VALUE CHECKING FOR THE INPUTS (OR INSIDE YOUR FUNCTION)



    if int(goal_amount) % math.gcd(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b)) == 0:

        path = findWaterContainerPath(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b), int(goal_amount))

    else:

        print("No solution for containers with these sizes and with this final goal amount")



    print(path)





# unittest_main() - run all of TestWaterContainerGraphSearch's methods (i.e. test cases)

def unittest_main():

    unittest.main()



# evaluates to true if run as standalone program

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

    unittest_main()

Good luck!

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.

Part 1

A principal wants to determine if a new ACT preparation program is effective. The data are contained in the schools.sav data file. Open the schools.sav file in SPSS. Use SPSS to determine whether a significant improvement existed between student performance on ACT tests in 1993 (act93) and ACT tests in 1994 (act94). Assume that the same students were involved in 1993 and 1994 testing. (This requires a t-test. Review Chapter 10 of the Green & Salkind text for information on paired t-tests and reporting APA results interpretation and writing.)

Create a report that answers the principal’s question. Write these conclusions in formal APA results format. Include your SPSS output to support your conclusion.

Part 2

A pharmaceutical company wants to determine whether there is a need for a new medication based on the data in the electric.sav file. Specifically, they want to determine whether a person is alive or dead 10 years after a coronary incident and whether that is reflected in a significant difference in the patients’ cholesterol levels (chol58) taken when the event occurred. Use chol58 as a dependent variable and VITAL10 as your independent variable. Complete the following:

• Analyze these conditions to determine whether there is a significant difference between the cholesterol levels (vital10) of those who are alive 10 years later compared to those who died within 10 years.
• Include the SPSS output, which validates your conclusion.
• Write a brief paragraph describing your conclusions.

Refer to Unit 6 in the Green & Salkind text for specific information about SPSS tests and APA results interpretation and writing. Pay attention to the Levene’s test throughout for determining whether the assumption of equal variance was met when you make your final decisions about the analysis.

What conclusion did you reach? Write these conclusions in formal APA results format. Include your SPSS output to support that conclusion.

Part 3

Occasionally, you have 1 independent variable that has 3 or more levels or groups. For a parametric data set, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the proper calculation. Use an ANOVA to address the following scenario:

A financial planner is interested in understanding the relationship between the dependent variable of the income level of respondents (rincdol) and the independent variable of their education level (ndegree) from the gss.sav data file. Use SPSS to complete the following:

• Run an ANOVA to determine the overall conclusion.
• Use the Bonferroni correction as a post-hoc analysis to determine the relationship of specific levels of degree level to income.
• Explain the overall conclusions based on the analysis, and describe the relationship(s) between the levels of the degree earned and income.
• Write your conclusion of the findings based upon the output using proper APA formatting.

Submit both the SPSS output file and your Word summary. (Refer to the Green & Salkind section about a one-way ANOVA for information on APA results interpretation and writing.)

Please go through the attachment for assignment details.

Looking at the big picture, researchers

proposed a digitalization of businesses and many calls it the 4th Industrial Revolution. You will

find many references to Industry 4.0 from researchers, consulting firms, and practitioners alike.

That is the theme of this final paper. Select an industry that closely interests you (e.g.,

Agriculture, Banking, Retail, Health Care, Hospitality), and research and discuss how Industry

4.0 will drastically change it. The general structure of the report is as follows:

1. An introductory section about Industry 4.0, providing context for your report.

2. A description and discussion of how Industry 4.0 will affect the industry you selected as

a theme. This should be the bulk of your report.

3. The opportunities and challenges ahead for business implementing Industry 4.0

principles and technologies.

4. A conclusion section (with your takeaway from the discussion).

To write this report you will need to cover at least the following:

1. Your report must adhere to APA formatting;

2. You must research at least 5 recent (i.e., less than 5 years) peer-reviewed articles.

Exceptionally, highly regarded industry sources (e.g., IBM, Oracle, SAP, McKinsey,

Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini) will be accepted;

3. Other than APA formatting, the structure for the paper is not fixed, as long as there is

a logical flow of ideas. The length of the paper is 5-6 pages

Information Security & Assurance: how the evolution of Internet of things(IoT) is effecting it? Securing today’s information systems?

NOTE: Recommended 4-5 pages, including a cover page and reference page, at least three references and in APA format.  No plagiarism must be there and no late submissions.
