peer response power point 100 word minimum

 

powerpoint theme , responds to peer based on the following response minimum of 100 words : In every large group meeting I have attended whether at a new job, my kid’s school, open houses, etc. There were PowerPoint presentations. This program is a particularly effective way to get a lot of information to a group of people effectively and in a timely manner. Truthfully, at some points in Power Point slide shows, especially long ones, my eyes tend to glaze over, and I zone out and lose focus.  

I think some key considerations you must have when developing your slide show are how engaging it is and how effectively you are communicating the information you must give. Paying close attention to what the prestation look like from the viewer’s standpoint rather than the presenter’s would be an excellent way to approach it. Are the slides cohesive? Easy to follow? Having different elements (I.e.. Bullets, photos, color schemes, varying font sizes, etc.) would be a plus too because it keeps your audience from just staring at paragraph after paragraph thus keeping their attention.

Users and Groups

In this week, we will again use our virtual machine. This time, we will be creating two users and granting selected permissions from one user to the other.

First, create a new user with “useradd -m ”. Then, repeat the command for a second user. Set a password for each user with “passwd ”.

Next, we will create a group for our users with “groupadd ”. Add your users to the group with “usermod -G ”.

Test out logging in as your first user with the command “su – ”. Next, we will create three files using the following commands:

  • echo “first file” > file1
  • echo “second file” > file2
  • echo “third file” > file3

You can validate the contents of file1 with “cat file1”. Let’s validate the file permissions of our files with “ls -l”. Take a screenshot of the output. Every file has nine permissions, ignoring the first one. The first three are for the user, the next three are for the group, and the final three are for others.

Next, we are going to adjust permissions so that:

  • File1 is only readable and writeable to user1
  • File2 is readable and writeable to user1 and members of the group to which you added both users 
  • File3 is readable by all users, but writeable only by user1

To make these changes, you’ll use the “chmod” command to adjust permissions, and you’ll need to add file2 to the group our users are in using “chown : file2”. To use the chmod command, there are two syntaxes: octal syntax and letter syntax. We are going to use the letter syntax in these examples. If you know octal syntax, feel free to use that instead.

The format is going to be “chmod ”. The value will be one of u for user, g for group, o for others, or a for all. The will be + to add permissions and – to remove permissions. The will be any of r for read, w for write, or x for execute. Set the permissions of the files to the bulleted list above. Validate your permissions with “ls -l” and take a screenshot of the output.

Then, switch to the second user account and verify the permissions using the following commands.

  • cat file1
  • cat file2
  • cat file3
  • echo “first file” > file1
  • echo “second file” > file2
  • echo “third file” > file3

Take a screenshot of the results of these commands. If the results don’t match expectations, you can switch back to your user1 and adjust permissions again to get it right.

In your submission, include:

  • Screenshot of “ls -l” output before changing permissions
  • Screenshot of “ls -l” output after changing permissions
  • Screenshot of the validation commands as user2

Lab exercise

   

Payroll Lab

You will be taking in a file (payroll.txt) which details a number of departments (at least 1) and in each department are a set of employees (each department will have at least 1 employee or it would not appear on the payroll sheet). Your job is to read the file in separate out each employee and calculate the total values (hours, salary, number of employees) for each department and in each category (F1, F2, F3, F4). In your final submission please include the .cpp file which should work for any kind of payroll file I supply (which will naturally match the format of the examples below). Be sure to indicate in your submission text if you have attempted any of the bonus points .

   

An example file:

The IT Department
Bill 8 7 8 9 7 F1
Bob 205103 0.08 F3
Betty 8 8 7 8 8 F2
Brandon 10 10 9 6 9 F2
Brad 9 8 10 9 9 4 1 F4

The Sales Department
Kyle 88840 0.105 F3
Tyler 105203 0.085 F3
Konner 8 6 7 6 9 F2
Sam 309011 0.045 F3
Kent 9 8 9 9 9 0 0 F4

An additional example file:

The Sales Department
Mike 5 6 1 3 5 F1
Mark 98103 0.115 F3
Jill 8 8 8 8 8 F2

Frank 106101 0.095 F3

Mark 76881 0.091 F3

Department of Records
Konner 8 6 7 6 9 F2
Tammy 7 3 7 2 8 F1

Anika 8 8 8 8 8 F2

Last in the row after the hours comes the pay grade (F1, F2, F3, F4). The number of hours recorded is based on the pay grade of the employee. F1 and F2s will have 5 numbers for their hours. F3s are commission based where a sales amount and a commission percentage is given. F3s are also assumed to work 30 hours if their commission is 10% or below and 40 hours if their commission is above 10%. F4s will have 7 numbers (as they are on-call during the weekend). Each of the pay grades will also have different pay calculations which are as follows:

F1 = The total number of hours * 11.25
F2 = (The total number of hours – 35) * 18.95 + 400
F3 = The total sales amount * the commission rate
F4 = The first 5 hourly totals * 22.55 + Any weekend hourly totals (the last 2) * 48.75

Your output to the screen should start with the department name, followed by the total pay for all of the employees, then the total number of hours, and the total number of employees. After that you should have a breakdown of each category of employee: F1 total pay and total hours, F2 total pay and total hours…

Each department will have at least 1 employee and each department will contain the word “Department.”

Before coding your solution, take the time to design the program. What are the possible things that the file can have that you need to anticipate? What are the actions that you need to take (read the file, add up hours…)? Are those actions things that could be placed in separate functions? What about the function – can you guess some of the things that will happen? Such as, using substring to pull out part of a line in the file maybe using stoi to convert a string to an integer to add it to the total or creating variables to hold the employee type you find before passing it to another function. Finally, how are these functions called, what is the order and what information is passed to and from? 

Scoring Breakdown

25% program compiles and runs
30% program reads in and calculates the figures for output
10% the program is appropriately commented
35% outputs the correct information in a clear format 

5% bonus to those who can output the F# responses in a columned output like that shown above.

5% order the employees in the roster according to their F status, F1’s first, then F2’s and so on.
5% bonus to those who do a chart comparing the data at the end to show the relation between the pay grades and the amount of salary spent in each (they style of chart is up to you and more points may be given for more difficult charts (like a line chart):

   

B Department
F1 – 00000000
F2 – 000000
F3 – 00000
F4 – 000000000000 

K Department
F1 – 0
F2 – 0000
F3 – 0000000000
F4 – 0000000
