Explanation of Solution

Difference between sequential access and random access:

Sequential accessRandom Access

Files are processed in sequential order.

Files are processed in random order.

If the records are needed to be accessed in sequential order, sequential file access is used.

If the files are needed to access in random order, random file access technique is much faster.

In sequential access, the file pointer moves only in one direction...

Inheritance & Polymorphism (Ch11) There are 6 classes including Person, Student, Employee, Faculty, and Staff. 4. Problem Description: • • Design a class named Person and its two subclasses named student and Employee. • Make Faculty and Staff subclasses of Employee. • A person has a name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. • • • A person has a class status (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior). Define the status as a constant. An employee has an office, salary, and date hired. A faculty member has office hours and a rank. A staff member has a title. Override the toString() method in each class to display the class name and the person's name. 4-1. Explain on how you would code this program. (1 point) 4-2. Implement the program. (2 point) 4-3.

Suppose you buy an electronic device that you operate continuously. The device costs you $300 and carries a one-year warranty. The warranty states that if the device fails during its first year of use, you get a new device for no cost, and this new device carries exactly the same warranty. However, if it fails after the first year of use, the warranty is of no value. You plan to use this device for the next six years. Therefore, any time the device fails outside its warranty period, you will pay $300 for another device of the same kind. (We assume the price does not increase during the six-year period.) The time until failure for a device is gamma distributed with parameters α = 2 and β = 0.5. (This implies a mean of one year.) Use @RISK to simulate the six-year period. Include as outputs (1) your total cost, (2) the number of failures during the warranty period, and (3) the number of devices you own during the six-year period. Your expected total cost to the nearest $100 is _________,…
Which one of the 4 Entities mention in the diagram can have a recursive relationship?    If a new entity Order_Details is introduced, will it be a strong entity or weak entity? If it is a weak entity, then mention its type (ID or Non-ID, also Justify why)?
