In earlier chapters you developed classes needed for Cost Is No Object—a car rental service that specializes in lending antique and luxury cars to clients on a short-term basis. The rental service produces computerized paychecks for its employees every week. Write a program that gets data for each of the following:
An employee ID number
A first name
A last name
A street address
A zip code
An hourly pay rate
Number of hours worked this week
An insurance plan code
 

Create an application that prompts the user for employee data; the application continues to accept data for new employees until the user enters 0 for an ID number to indicate the desire to quit. While the ID number is not zero, prompt the user for a value for each field in turn. Any time the user enters an invalid value, continue to reprompt the user for the same data. Continue with the next data item only when the previous item is valid, as follows:
An employee ID must be between 100 and 999 inclusive.
A zip code must not be greater than 99999.
An hourly pay rate must be between $6.00 and $25.00 inclusive.
The number of hours worked in a week cannot be negative or more than 70.
An insurance plan code must be 1 or 2.
 

When all the needed data has been entered correctly for an employee, display a copy of all the data fields for the employee as well as the following:
Gross pay, calculated as hours worked times pay rate
Income tax, which is calculated as 15% of the gross pay if the gross pay is $400 or less; otherwise, it is 20% of the gross pay
Insurance premium, which is $60 for insurance plan code 1 and $100 for insurance plan code 2
Net pay, which is calculated as gross pay minus income tax, minus insurance premium; if the net pay is negative (the employee did not earn enough to cover the tax and insurance), then the net pay should be $0

RESEARCH: Expand your knowledge of the print() function.  

  1. Write a Python program to print the following string in a specific format (see the picture below)

String: “Twinkle Twinkle: little How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high: Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle Twinkle: little star: How I wonder what y al are.”

2. Can “Twinkle: Twinkle: little star” be performed as a musical cannon? 

3. Write a Python program to count the number (occurrences) of t-s (upper and lower cases) in the string.

4. Write a Python program to count the number (occurrences) of i’s, w’s, and l’s in the string.

Big Data Analytics Assignments

 Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing big data analytics. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing.You should use the UC library and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles.Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it. This is considered a research article review.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your weekly class learning materials. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

You have been hired by ACME Global

  

Logical Design, Part 1
You have been hired by ACME Global Consulting to procure requirements for a large database. In developing database management systems, E-R models are used to graphically depict complex relationships between entities. In this assignment, you are to convince a set of clients of the benefits of using an E-R model in developing a database. Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you: 

1. List the advantages of a relational model specific to ACME Global Consulting.
2. Summarize in your own words the purpose of an E-R model specific to ACME Global Consulting.
3. List and describe essential components of the model such as entities, attributes, keys, relationships, roles, and dependencies specific to ACME Global Consulting.
4. Describe the need for the enhanced E-R model and how we can create sophisticated models to help us in complex environments.
5. Outline and describe the advantage of using the relational model.
6. Create an E-R diagram using graphical depicting software that could theoretically be used in a restaurant application. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Acceptable software used to depict the solution includes any drawing tool, such as Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Paint, open source alternatives or similar drawing tools. You are free to formulate constraints, entities, attributes, etc. Potential entities may include but are not limited to customers, vendors, orders, and menu items.
7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
· Include charts or diagrams created in Excel, Visio, MS Project, or one of their equivalents such as Open Project, Dia, and OpenOffice. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Compose conceptual data modeling techniques to capture the information requirements.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in database systems.
