Compound Interest
When a bank account pays compound interest, it pays interest not only on the principal amount that was deposited into the account, but also on the interest that has accumulated over time. Suppose you want to deposit some money into a savings account, and let the account earn compound interest for a certain number of years. The formula for calculating the balance of the account after a specified number of years is:
The terms in the formula are:
A is the amount of money in the account after the specified number of years.
P is the principal amount that was originally deposited into the account.
r is the annual interest rate.
n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded
t is the specified number of years.
Write a
▪ The amount of principal originally deposited into the account
▪ The annual interest rate paid by the account
▪ The number of times per year that the interest is compounded (For example, if interest is compounded monthly, enter 12. If interest is compounded quarterly, enter 4.)
▪ The number of years the account will be left to earn interest
Once the input data has been entered the program should calculate and display the amount of money that will be in the account after the specified number of years.
Note:
The user should enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example. 2 percent would be entered as 2, not as .02. The program will then have to divide the input by 100 to move the decimal point to the correct position.

- What resources are used when a thread is created? How do these differ from those used when a process is created?arrow_forward(c) Consider the following set of processes: Process ID Arrival Time Priority Burst Time A 2 3 100 B 6 C 10 1 (highest) 2 40 80 D 16 4 (lowest) 20arrow_forward(3e) Test-and-Set. The Test-and-Set instruction is used in hardware to achieve synchronization. It can be defined in the following way: function Test-and-Set (var target: boolean): boolean; begin Test-and-Set:= target; target := true; end; Now show how the Test-and-Set instruction can be used to protect a critical region and hence achieve mutual exclusion (do not worry about satisfying the bounded waiting condition).

- Consider a system with three smoker processes and one agent process. Each smoker continuously rolls a cigarette and then smokes it. But to roll and smoke a cigarette, the smoker needs three ingredients: tobacco, paper and matches. One of the smoker processes has paper, another has tobacco and the third has the matches. The agent has an infinite supply of all three materials. The agent places two of the ingredients on the table. The smoker who has the remaining ingredient then makes and smokes a cigarette, signaling the agent on completion. The agent then puts out another two of the three ingredients, and the cycle repeats. Given below is a solution to the Cigarette-Smokers Problem. Give initial conditions for the semaphores as well as plausible values for the variables i & j and r & s, such that the agent and smokers are synchronized. Write a couple of sentences on why these initial conditions are necessary and sufficient. Solution: var a: array [0..2] of semaphore (initial condition =…arrow_forwardLevel-0 Diagram for this: A customer sends in an order form containing details of their order and their membership number. A check is made to verify that they are a member. When their order is verified, a check is made to validate that the items ordered are produced by the company. Next, the valid order is used to update the daily order file, and then used to create a shipping list and invoice, which are sent on to the Order Fulfilment System.arrow_forwardIn this assignment, you will use all of the graphics commands you have learned to create an animated scene. Your program should have a clear theme and tell a story. You may pick any school-appropriate theme that you like. The program must include a minimum of: 5 circles 5 polygons 5 line commands 2 for loops 1 global variable You may wish to use the standard code for simplegui graphics below: import simplegui def draw_handler(canvas): frame = simplegui.create_frame('Testing', 600, 600) frame.set_canvas_background("Black") frame.set_draw_handler(draw_handler) frame.start() Submit Your Code After you write your code here in the programming environment, you will check it and submit it as usual. However, the grader will only perform basic checks against some requirements. If your code passes, you should submit your work, and your teacher will manually grade your submitted work using a rubric.arrow_forward

Use limits to find these. For each case it is possible that more than one of these conditions is satisfied:1. f(n) =log(n2^n), g(n) = log(sqrt(n)2^(n^2))2. f(n) =nsqrt(n) +log(n^n), g(n) =n + sqrt(n)lognarrow_forward
