Document Summary

Four basic directions: north (n, east (e, south (s, west (w) Four intermediate directions: northeast (ne, northwest (nw, southeast (se, southwest (sw) *sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The red arrow points to earth"s magnetic north. Two ways to give directions using compass: quadrant notation also known as quadrant hearing. The face of a compass is divided into four quadrants which can be further subdivided from 0 to 90. Uses north and south as the principal points: azimuthal notation also known as azimuthal hearing. The compass is divided into 360 degrees, with north 0, east 90, south 180 and west 270. The north direction is the reference point. South pole: prime meridian located in the middle part of the earth vertically measuring 0 degrees, antimeridian or international date line opposite to the prime meridian which measure 180 degrees. Map is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional representations of a particular area.

3. As seen in Assignment #5 of EECS1520, Excel can be used to simulate physiological processes like thyroxine conversion in the liver. In these simulations the value of the time dependent variables, like the amount of thyroxine in the liver, is often defined using the value of the same variable from an earlier time step. This type of relation where each further term of the sequence is defined as a function of the preceding terms is called: a) backward relation b) Forward relation c) Recurrence relation x d) Bidirectional relation e) None of the above

7. Write a class MetroLine in which you define a new type MetroLine (10 points) A MetroLine is defined to have the following private properties: • A String representing the colour of the line (e.g. blue, red, green, etc. No numbers. It's Montreal, not Manhattan!) • A collection of MetroStation This collection can be either a built in array, an ArrayList, or any other kind of collection you feel would satisfy the requirements of the class. The collection must be able to define an ordering from "beginning" to "end" of the MetroLine. It does not matter which part you consider the beginning and which part is the "end" as long as it is consistent. (We recommend using ArrayList but you are free to do otherwise if you feel it will be casier.) A MetroLine should have the following methods defined: • A constructor which takes nothing as input and performs any initialization necessary to maintain your collection of stations. • A method addstation which takes as input a MetroStation and adds it to the end of your collection. The method can assume the station is not already part of the collection and should return void. Note that the order the MetroStations are added is the same as the path the trains will travel on (or it could be the reverse path as well). • A method hasStation which takes as input a MetroStation and returns a boolean representing whether the metro line has a MetroStation with the same name or not. A method get LineColour which returns the colour of the line. • A method get First Stop which returns the MetroStation representing the first stop of the metro line. If there is no such station (ic, if the collection of MetroStation is empty), your method should return null. • A method get PriorStop which takes as input a MetroStation and returns the stop prior to the MetroStation passed as input. You may assume that the MetroStation passed as input is indeed in the collection of MetroStations If the current station is the first stop on the MetroLine then this method should return null. You may assume that there are no "loops" in the MetroLine That is, no station is present on the same line twice. A method getNext Stop which takes as input a MetroStation and returns the stop after the MetroStation passed as input. You may assume that the Metrostation passed as input is indeed in the collection of Metrostations. If the current station is the last stop on the MetroLine, then this method should return null. You may assume that there are no "loops" in the MetroLine That is, no station is present on the same line twice. For the above methods, you may assume that there is no aliasing issue. That is to say, you can use == to compare the references, or if you are using a type such as ArrayList to maintain your list of stations, you can use the indexOf or contains method defined on an ArrayList.

I need help solving these questions for my software class:

12. Match each term with its definition

Word list: documentation, evolutionary prototype, GUIs, fourth generation, information gathering prototype, libraries, Lips and Prolog (5GLs), prototype, prototyping approach, short-term solution

Term Definition

	Programming languages often used in information gathering prototype development
	Usually involves only a small team of programmers and one or more users
	Type where the prototype becomes the full working program
	Term used to describe the scale and budget for most prototyping projects
libraries	Collections of reusable code often used to speed up prototype development
Lips and Prolog (5GLs)	Languages often used in the development of prototypes of both kinds
GUIs	Favoured interface for prototype development
information gathering prototype	Prototypes developed to gather information that can be used in another development
documentation	Stores critical information for future maintenance
prototype	A working model that can be evaluated by users

14. Complete the Methods of Implementation table, using the information provided below.

One section of the organisation uses the new program and all other sections continue with the old program until a decision is made to put the new program into place across the whole organisation	One or more tasks of the new program are gradually implemented until the new program takes over all tasks of the old program
The old and the new program work together	The new program immediately replaces the old program

Method	Description	Diagram (draw it yourself)
Direct Cut Over	The new program immediately replaces the old program
Parallel Implementation	The old and the new program work together for a period of time
Phrased Implementation	One or more tasks of the new program are gradually implemented until the new program takes over all tasks of the old program
Pilot Implementation	One section of the organisation uses the new program and all other sections continue with the old program until a decision is made to put the new program into place across the whole organisation
