QUANTITATIVE Journal Article

 You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research  piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family  as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what  is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as  long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work,  however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste  to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to  track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe  Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

  • Introduction/Background:  Provide  context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the  piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior  research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research  question?
  • Methodology:  Describe  how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or  hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical  analysis was used?
  • Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
  • Conclusions:  Evaluate  the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and  the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further  study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what  you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms  of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of  the rubric is covered.)

Week 5 Journal

Each week you are to enter content into an online journal provided in Blackboard that briefly summarizes (1) the tasks you performed during your internship that week and (2) total hours worked with days/times. The content can be brief and in outline form and use bullet or another list styling, but keep in mind that this content will form the basis of the two major papers that you will write for this course. Therefore, the more detailed you are in your weekly journal, the easier it will be to finish the two papers. Specifically, your weekly journal should contain: 

• The days and times you worked that week, as well as the total hours, worked. (Provide this information at the top of each weekly section so this will act as a de facto heading to separate each weekly entry that you make.) 

• The skills or skillsets used/required to complete each task 

• Each task you performed along with a brief description of what you did.

 • A brief explanation of why the task needed to be done.

 • Was there an outcome? If so, what was that outcome?

 • What new terminology did you learn this week? Provide the term and its definition.

c program, shell build in command

Shell built-in commands, unlike legacy executables such as /bin/ls or /usr/bin/vim, are internal features of a shell that the user may invoke. For example, alias (to create a shortcut such as ‘l’ for ‘ls’), cd, history are among common built-in commands supported by most shells. When a user enters a command, a shell must first check if it is a built-in command in which case forking a child to load and run a legacy executable is not required. If the entered command is not built-in, then a shell assumes that it is a binary executable that needs to found and executed by a worker process. Extending built-in commands into a programming language, called shell scripts, is a popular way to manage and automate tasks on UNIX based operating systems such as Linux and MacOS.

Use the code of main4.c as a starting point to extend its capability to support the following built-in commands:

$ cprompt

where is 0, 1, 2 or 3. The notation means that x is a variable. When is 0, the default prompt ‘$’ is output. If is 1, the prompt is changed to ‘>’. equals to 2 changes the prompt to the PID of the process. Implement your own prompt for the case where equals 3. Annotate your code to describe what option 3 outputs.

$ mem

where is a string that is stored in a memo note. Implement the memo note as a 1-D array of maximum size 10, char *memnote[10], where each element is a pointer to a string. Use malloc() to allocate just enough memory to store the string . When memnote[] is full, cycle to the beginning and overwrite memnote[0] with the new string. Hence memnote[] is a circular array that overwrites the oldest element if space is full. Keep track of the newest and oldest memo note so that when the user enters the command ‘mem’ without a string then the memo note strings are output by recency, with the newest first and the oldest last, by the order the user has added them to the memnote string array.

$ d

The command d asks that the shell delay running the legacy executable by seconds. Perform this task by calling library function sleep() with as argument. Look up section 3 of the man pages (run % man 3 sleep) to check how to use sleep() including any header files. First fork a child process who checks if a delay is needed by inspecting a variable, int delayflag, set by the parent. If 1, sleep() is called with argument followed by execlp() of . Otherwise, execlp() is called without delay. In the case delayed execution is requested by the user, the parent does not call waitpid() to wait until the child terminates. Instead, it returns to the beginning of the while loop to print a fresh prompt since the delay could be substantial.

$ x

The command x without arguments means to terminate the shell. The shell prints a suitable message to stdout, then calls exit(0) to terminate.

Although main4.c serves as the main skeleton code, implement the built-in features supported by the shell, call it mysh, in a modular fashion making calls to functions that are put in their own file in a folder v12. Create a README text file that describes what each file in a folder v12 contains and its role. Use a Makefile to compile your code. 20 points out of 150 will be assigned for modularity, clarity, and style. Although not necessary, you may use string processing library functions. The library function atoi() which converts a number represented as a string (e.g., “3075”) into an integer (3075) may be useful. Look up its man page if you decide to use it. Test and verify that mysh works correctly. the code should run under Mac terminal.

Develop a Java application that plays

  

Develop a Java application that plays a “guess the number” game as described below.
a) Your application first gets a random number in the range 1-1000 inclusive (you might want to use Math.random() or the Random class).
b) The application then displays the following prompt (probably via a JLabel):
I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?
Please enter your first guess.
Post a textbox for the user to enter a number and post a message telling the user to hit ‘Enter’ after entering a guess in a textbox (probably using a JTextField).
c) Input the user’s guess in the code for a previously-registered event-handler method (consider using the event-handling approach discussed in the text, or the actionPerformed() method of class based on the ActionListener interface, which will require some additional research outside the text).
d) For the first guess, color the entire background red, meaning that they are getting warmer (you might want to use the setBackground() method for a container). If this is the second or later guess, and they are further from the correct number than the last guess, then color the entire background blue. If they get the correct number then color the background some other color than red or blue.
e) If the user guessed the number correctly, respond with their number, post a congratulatory message, get a new random number, and display a JButton to start a new game. Otherwise, to help the user close in on the correct number, post a message, with their guessed number, whether they are “TOO HIGH” or “TOO LOW” from the correct number, and whether they are “WARMER” or “COLDER” (this should match the background color). Also report the guess number of the next guess (e.g. “Enter guess number nnn”). You might want to use a concatenated string in JLabel for these incorrect guess messages.
f) The process is repeated each game until the user guesses the correct number. Be sure that you erase obsolete status messages.
