Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Conditions:

Following are the conditions should be met before an entity is referred as a weak entity:

  • The entity should be “existence-dependent” on its parent entity.
    • If an entity is referred as an “existence-dependent”, then that entity can exist in the database if and only if when it is related with another entity existence.
  • The entity should inherits a section of its primary key (PK) from its parent entity.

Example:

Consider the following ER diagram along with its attributes:

DATABASE SYSTEMS, Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation:

  • The entity CLASS is “existence-dependent” on COURSE entity. Hence the CLASS entity uses a PK component from its parent entity (COURSE).
  • The CLASS entity’s PK is (COURSE_ID, CLASS_SEC).
  • In this strong implementation, the CLASS entity is referred as a weak entity between COURSE and CLASS.

Write a program that simulates a Magic 8 Ball, which is a fortune-telling toy that displays a random response to a yes or no question. In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt:  Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO.
