Chapter 2.1, Problem 14E
(Data processing) a. A national medical testing laboratory wants a new computer system to analyze its test results. The system must be capable of processing each day’s results as well as retrieving and outputting a printed report of all results meeting certain criteria, such as all results for a particular doctor or for hospitals in a certain state. Determine three or four major
b. Suppose someone enters incorrect data for a test result, and the error is discovered after the system has entered and stored the data. What program unit is needed to correct this problem? Discuss why such a program unit might or might not be required by most systems.
c. A program unit has been developed that allows users to change data that has been entered and stored incorrectly. Discuss the need for including an “audit trail” that would allow reconstructing the changes later as well as when they were made and who made them.

4. Breaking the Codeby CodeChum Admin
ATTENTION SOLDIER!
This will be the hardest mission of your life. Our intelligence department has caught the enemy sending codes from one base to another. These enemy codes can either be a simple communication message or a mastermind plan.
Our intelligence department has determined that a mastermind plan is a code that has at least 1 consonant character.
Since you know programming, your task is to check a code if it is a mastermind plan or not.
Instructions:
In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for a code. Furthermore, there is a call to the function, hasConsonant().Your task is to declare and define this hasConsonant() function which has the following details:Return type - intName - hasConsonantParameter:char* - to hold the character arrayReturn value - 1 if there is at least 1 consonant and 0 if there is none. Be sure to consider both the capital and small letter consonants…

He wants to help the dispirited students and believes his mentoring commitment requires he do more.

- Problem 1. - Expenditure Cycle Walker Books, Inc. (Manual System withMinimal PC Support) Purchases System The purchases process begins with the purchasing agent, who monitors the levels of books available via a computer terminal listing current inventory. Upon noticing deficiencies in inventory levels, the agent manually generates four hard copies of a purchase order: one is sent to accounts payable, one is sent to the vendor, one is sent to the receiving department, and the last is filed within the department. Vendors will generally ship the products within five business days of the order. When goods arrive in the receiving department, the corresponding packing slip always accompanies them. The receiving department clerk unloads the goods and then reconciles the packing slip with the purchase order. After unloading the goods, the clerk manually prepares three hard copies of the receiving report. One copy goes with the goods to the warehouse, another is sent to the purchasing…arrow_forwardProblem 1. - Expenditure Cycle Walker Books, Inc.

For a given day you are given the planned times when the thruster will be used. You need to be monitoring the situation at those boost times and for 5 minutes after. You want to figure out if you can take a break for a certain number of minutes. To achieve this you are given the planned boost times in in hours and minutes with an am/pm. And you are given a desired break time in minutes. Output if you can take the break or not given the monitoring you have to do. For example: If you know the thruster is fired at 5:00am and 12:50pm. You need to be monitoring the situation from 5:00am to 5:05am and again from 12:50pm to 12:55pm. Apart from those times you are free to take a break. So a 5 minute break is possible. But a 12 hour break is not possible.arrow_forward(ix) Environments that are fully observable, deterministic, finite, static and discrete are called as environment..
