CSE 461 Project I

CSE 461 Project I

The first part of this project requires that you implement a class that will be used to simulate a disk drive. The disk drive will have numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many bytes. The interface for the class Sdisk should include :

Class Sdisk



{



public :



Sdisk(string diskname, int numberofblocks, int blocksize);



int getblock(int blocknumber, string& buffer);



int putblock(int blocknumber, string buffer);



int getnumberofblocks(); // accessor function



int getblocksize(); // accessor function



private :



string diskname;        // file name of software-disk



int numberofblocks;     // number of blocks on disk



int blocksize;          // block size in bytes



};

An explanation of the member functions follows :

  • Sdisk(diskname, numberofblocks, blocksize) This constructor incorporates the creation of the disk with the “formatting” of the device. It accepts the integer values numberofblocks, blocksize, a string diskname and creates a Sdisk (software-disk). The Sdisk is a file of characters which we will manipulate as a raw hard disk drive. The function will check if the file diskname exists. If the file exists, it is opened and treated as a Sdisk with numberofblocks many blocks of size blocksize. If the file does not exist, the function will create a file called diskname which contains numberofblocks*blocksize many characters. This file is logically divided up into numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many characters. The text file will have the following structure : Bytes 0 – blocksize-1Block 0Bytes blocksize – 2*blocksize-1Block 1Bytes 2*blocksize – 3*blocksize-1Block 2……Bytes ?-?Block numberofblocks-1
  • getblock(blocknumber,buffer) retrieves block blocknumber from the disk and stores the data in the string buffer. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.
  • putblock(blocknumber,buffer) writes the string buffer to block blocknumber. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES : It is essential that your software satisfies the specifications. These will be the only functions (in your system) which physically access the Sdisk. NOTE that you must also write drivers to test and demonstrate your program.

Apply Audit Evidence

 

Assignment Content

  1. For this assignment, you will continue using the Gail Industries Case Study.

    As IT manager, you must review the gathered evidence before presenting it to the external auditor.

    Read the Gail Industries Case Study. Refer to the “Partially Collected Audit Evidence” section for this assignment.

    Complete the Audit Evidence Worksheet. Follow the prompts in the document.

    Submit the Audit Evidence Worksheet.

    Note: You will use these findings in the assignment for Week 5.

complete the method named countdown (method stub provided) so that it accepts an int countFrom as its parameter and prints each number from countFrom to 1 on a single line separated by a space. This method should not return anything (void return type).

 

complete the method named countdown (method  stub provided) so that it accepts an int countFrom as its parameter and  prints each number from countFrom to 1 on a single line separated by a  space. This method should not return anything (void return type).

Hint:  Use a loop and think about the starting value you want to print, the  ending value that will print, and how you want to update the value  between iterations.

Example: countdown(5) should print: 5 4 3 2 1  Example2: countdown(-1) should not print anything. Example3: countdown(9) should print: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1  

Ensure you are thoroughly calling and testing your methods before submitting to zyBooks.

Problem 2 – Arrays as Parameters

Complete  the curve method (method stub provided for you) so that it loops  through the int[] grades, incrementing each non-zero grade by 2. Grades  of 0 should not be changed. This method should not print or return  anything, but should modify the contents of the grades array.

Hint – you can test that your method works in main by printing the values in grades both before and after this method is called.

Example: Passing in an int[] containing: {95, 80} should modify the array to {97,82} Example2: Passing in a int[] containing: {70, 0, 99} should modify the array to {72, 0, 101}  

Problem 3 – Returning Arrays, Arrays as Parameters, String methods

Write  a method named acronyms that accepts an array of type String as its  parameter and returns an array of type char. This method stub is not  provided for you. Method name, return type, and parameter(s) should  match exactly to receive credit. You should not use the keyword static  in the method header.

Your method should  create a new char array the same size as the String array passed in.  You should then use a loop to populate the char array with the first  letter of each individual String stored in the array.

Hint – the charAt method in the String class retrieves a single char from a specified index.

Example:  Passing in an String[] containing: {“tiger”, “king”} should return a  char[] of size 2 containing {‘t’, ‘k’} Example2: Passing in an String[] containing: {“go dawgs”, “uga”, “java”}  should return a char[] of size 3 containing {‘g’, ‘u’, ‘j’} 

Problem 4 – Scanner in methods, String methods, Algorithm design, Return Statements

Write  a method named setPassword that accepts a Scanner object as its  parameter and returns a boolean. This method stub is not provided for  you. Method name, return type, and parameter(s) should match exactly to  receive credit. You should not use the keyword static in the method  header.

Your method should read in a  String password using the nextLine method and the the Scanner object  passed in as the method parameter. Your method should then return either  true or false depending on if all criteria of a password is met.

A valid password (returning true) would have the following criteria:

  • The password contains at least 8 characters
  • The password contains at least 1 capital letter/char
  • The password contains at least 1 lowercase letter/char

If  ALL of the above conditions are met, your method should return true. If  any of the above conditions are NOT met, your method should return  false.

Example: a user input of “Coding99” or “Java12345” would return true Example2: a user input of “Java123” would return false //only 7 characters Example3: a user input of “JAVA12345” would return false //no lowercase Example4: a user input of “java12345” would return false //no uppercase

import java.util.Scanner; //imported for you!

Risk management is one of the most important components in empowering an organization to achieve its ultimate vision. With proper risk management culture and knowledge, team members will be “speaking” the same language, and they will leverage common analytical abilities to identify and mitigate potential risks as well as exploit opportunities in a timely fashion. In order to consolidate efforts, the existence of an integrated framework is crucial. This is why an ERM is necessary to the fulfillment of any organization’s goals and objectives.

In your final research project for the course, your task is to write a 8-10 page paper discussing the following concepts:

  • Introduction
  • Why should an organization Implement an ERM application?
  • What are some key challenges and solutions to Implementing an ERM?
  • What is Important for an effective ERM?
  • Discuss at least one real organization that has been effective with implementing an ERM framework or /application.
  • Conclusion, final thoughts for future research
  • Recommendation

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least ten scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The Google Scholor Library is a great place to find supplemental resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Requirements: 8 to 10 pages

Project Planning

Project Plan / Gantt Chart / Budget section of deliverables this week.   From a budget perspective you need to include resource costs (mostly yours although you can identify other people that might be needed to complete the project), potential hardware costs (i.e., the actual hardware, set up costs, ongoing costs), software costs (i.e., software costs, set up costs, ongoing costs), and training.. 

 

For the project plan and Gantt chart, you can find some templates/guides online and then use that as a guide to build yours out. I’ll link some youtube videos and tools below for instructional purposes.
