Chapter 2, Problem 2.26RQ

Explanation of Solution

Meaning of the Equation:

The given expression is,

(D, E)->F

Explanation:

The meaning of the following equation is:

  • Given the value for both D and E simultaneously, represented as composite (D, E), user can determine the value of F.
  • If one of the values of D or E is not given, user cannot determine the value of F.
  • The Composite (D, E) is the determinant of F.
  • F is functionally dependent on the composite (D, E).
  • It is a composite key.

Example:

  • For a table Employee containing attributes ‘employee_id’, ‘employee_name’ and ‘employee_department’, it is observed that user can fill an online form asking to enter the ‘employee_name’ and  ‘employee_department’ simultaneously and the Database Management System (DBMS) searches the employee database and retrieves the information about employee id . 

Therefore, expression can be (employee_name, employee_department) -> (employee-id)...

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below: Assume you have three data definition classes, Person, Student and Faculty. The Student and Faculty classes extend Person.  Given the code snippet below, in Java, complete the method determinePersonTypeCount to print out how many Student and Faculty objects exist within the Person array. You may assume that each object within the Person[] is either referencing a Student or Faculty object.   public static void determinePersonTypeCount(Person[] people){   // Place your code here }
Please answer JAVA OOP question below: Consider the following  relationship diagram between the Game and VideoGame data defintion classes.   Game has a constructor that takes in two parameters, title (String) and cost (double).
