Entity-Relationship diagram:

  • Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram is the method to represent the relational database using graphical form.
  • This graphical representation shows only primary elements such as records, types, attributes, relationships between entities, and so on.
  • The graphical representation of the ER diagram clearly describes the relationship among entities.
  • In the diagram, every connector is labeled.
    • On one side it is represented by the value 1, and on the other side it is labeled with the value “M”. This labeling is referred to as “cardinality constraint” of the relationship.

Explanation of Solution

ER diagram for the Car Insurance Company:

Database System Concepts, Chapter 6, Problem 1PE

Explanation:

In the above ER diagram, “Customer”, “Car”, “Accident”, “Insurance_Policy”, and “Premium_Payment” are the entities.

  • The “Customer” entity contains “cust_ID”, “cust_Name”, “cust_Address” and “cust_Phone attributes. Here, “cust_ID” is a primary key.
  • The “Car” entity contains “car_Num”, “model”, “make”, “color”, and “year” attributes. Here, “car_Num” is a primary key.
  • The “Accident” entity contains “report_ID”, “location”, “date” and “damage_Cost” attributes. Here, “report _ID” is a primary key.
  • The “Insurance_Policy” entity contains “policy_Num”, “policy_Name”, and “coverage” attributes. Here, “policy_Num” is a primary key.
  • The “Premium_Payment” entity contains “payment_ID”, “payment_Date”, “due_date”, and “amount” attributes. Here, “payment_ID” is a primary key

Relationships between the entities:

  • One “Customer” contains many “Car” so here, one-to-many relationship exists and named it as “Owns”.
  • One “Car” contains many “Insurance_Policy” so here, one-to-many relationship exists and named it as “Covers”.
  • One “Car” meets optional many (zero or many) “Accident” so here, one-to-optional many relationship exists and named it as “Meets”.
  • One “Insurance_Policy” contains many “Premium_Payment” so here, one-to-many relationship exists and named it as “Payments”.

In this assignment, you will implement a multi-threaded program (using C/C++) that will check for Prime Numbers and Palindrome Numbers in a range of numbers. Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…
