Max Function

Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.

Power Function

A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be…

Chapter 3, Problem 7PC

The Upper West View Yacht club sponsors sailboat races every weekend for its fleet of SuperGee sailboats, and wants to determine which boat is the winner out of every four races. The scoring system is simple: a boat finishing in first position (first place) receives 1 point; a boat in second place receives 2 points, and so on. At the end of four races, the boats are ranked in ascending order by number of points, so the boats with the lowest points win.

Your task is to write an application that lets the user input the finishing position for each of three boats for four races. The program will then display the total points for each boat. Here are some specific requirements:

Validate all text boxes to make sure the user enters integer values.
Use a StatusStrip with a label to display an error message. When the user corrects an error and clicks the Calculate button again, clear any existing error message.
Set TabIndex properties so that the focus will move between input fields in a logical manner.
Do not allow the user to maximize or resize the form.

Figure 3-62 shows a sample of the program as the user is entering all valid values. In any single race, no place value should appear twice, although you currently do not have the programming tools to enforce this rule. For Race 1 in the sample, for example, the values 1, 2, and 3 each only appear once. HINT: to avoid an excessive amount of typing when coding this solution, rely on the copy and paste commands with the Windows clipboard. The key combinations are Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste).

Hands-On Assignments Part II Assignment 1-5: Querying the DoGood Donor Database Review the DoGood Donor data by writing and running SQL statements to perform the following tasks: 1. List each donor who has made a pledge and indicated a single lump sum payment. Include first name, last name, pledge date, and pledge amount. 2. List each donor who has made a pledge and indicated monthly payments over one year. Include first name, last name, pledge date, and pledge amount. Also, display the monthly payment amount. (Equal monthly payments are made for all pledges paid in monthly payments.) 3. Display an unduplicated list of projects (ID and name) that have pledges committed. Don't display all projects defined; list only those that have pledges assigned. 4. Display the number of pledges made by each donor. Include the donor ID, first name, last name, and number of pledges. 5. Display all pledges made before March 8, 2012. Include all column data from the DD PLEDGE table.

Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn, and start engine. FancyCar.java is provided with method stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods. Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main() method includes basic method calls. Add statements in main() as methods are completed to support development mode testing. Step 0. Declare private fields for miles driven as shown on the odometer (int), gallons of gas in tank (double), miles per gallon or MPG (double), driving capacity (double), and car model (String). Note the provided final variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons. Step 1 (2 pts). 1) Complete the default constructor by initializing the odometer to five miles, tank is full of gas, miles per gallon is 24.0, and the model is "Old Clunker". 2)…
