Write a JavaScript program to solve the following problem: A company pays its salespeople on a commission basis. The salespeople receive $200 per week plus 9% of their gross sales for that week. For example, a salesperson who grosses $5000 in sales in a week receives $200 plus 9% of $5000, or a total of $650. Your program should obtain the gross sales for each employee through an XHTML form and determines how many of the salespeople earned salaries in each of the following ranges (assume that each salesperson’s salary is truncated to an integer amount): 

Ø $200 – 299

Ø $300 – 399

Ø $400 – 499

Ø $500 – 599

Ø $600 – 699

Ø $700 – 799

Ø $800 – 899

Ø $900 – 999

Ø $1000 and over

Exp19_Access_Ch08_Capstone – Registry 1.0

  

Project Description:

You work as a database manager at Virtual Registry, Inc. This firm specializes in supplying china, crystal, silver, and collectible gifts online. You will add a hyperlink field that will store a URL for each manufacture’s website. The HR department manager wants to store a photo and the most recent performance review for each employee. You also export data from the database to three different formats. Finally, you import information from Excel, Access, and text files.

     

Start   Access. Open the downloaded Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch8_Cap_Registry. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the   location where you are storing your files.

 

You   will add a hyperlink field to the Manufacturer table to store each company’s   website address.
 

  Create a new field in the Manufacturer table after RlMfgCode named Website with the Hyperlink data type. Save the   table.

 

Switch   to Datasheet view, add the website https://www.spode.co.uk   to the Spode China record (11).

 

Add   https://www.wedgwood.com to the Wedgwood China record (15).   Click each link to make sure it launches a browser and locates the   appropriate website. Close the table.

 

You   will add an attachment field to the Employees table to store the employees’   performance reviews and photos.
 

  Create a new field in the Employees table after HireDate named EmployeeFiles with the Attachment data type. Save   the table.

 

Switch   to Datasheet view and locate the record for UserID 81094880. Add the downloaded Word document   named 81094880.docx and the picture   file named 81094880.jpg to the   EmployeeFiles field.Save the table.

 

Create   a basic form based on the Employees table; the form will open in Layout view.   For UserID 81094880, (record 1), click the Word icon and click the Forward   arrow on the Attachment toolbar to display the Word document and the   picture file. Save the form as Employees.   Close the form and the table.

 

You   want to determine current sales for a specific product line. You will filter   the Revenue Query to locate records and export the records to Excel and Word.   You will also export inventory records to create a report in PDF format.
 

  Open the Revenue Query. Use Filter by Selection to display records in the   Alias column where the value equals Waterford   Crystal. Export the filtered records to an Excel file. Save the file as a08c1Crystal_LastFirst. Do not save the export steps.

 

Hide   the ProdCategoryID, DESCR, and Alias fields from the results in the Revenue Query. Export the   same filtered records to a Word file. Open the destination file after the   export operation is complete. On the Layout tab, change the orientation of   the document to Landscape. Press ENTER   one time and add the title Waterford Crystal   Orders   to the Word file. Format the title as bold and center aligned. Save the file   as a Word document with the name a08c1Crystal_LastFirst.   Close the document and exit Word. Do not save the export steps. Save and   close the filtered Revenue Query.

 

Use   Filter by Selection to display records in the Inventory table where the   OnHandQty value equals 0 (five   records will display). Export the records to a PDF document. Save the file as   a08cInventory_LastFirst. Close the PDF reader program. Do not   save the export steps. Save and close the filtered Inventory table.

 

You   will import new customer records from Excel.
 

  Open the a08c1Customers.xlsx   workbook, examine the Customers1 worksheet, and then close the workbook.   Create a linked table in the database by importing the workbook named a08c1Customers.xlsx. Use the first row   of the Customers1 worksheet as column headings and accept all other default   options.

 

You   will also import additional customer records from an Access database.
 

  Open the a08c1Customers database,   examine the Customers2 table, and then close the database. Create a linked   table in the database by importing the Customers2 table from the database   named a08c1Customers.

 

You   will import additional customer records from a text file.
 

  Open the a08c1Textcust.csv text   file, examine the content, and then close the file. Create a table in the   database by importing the text file named a08c1Textcust.csv.   Use the first row of the file as field names, CustomerNum as the primary key,   and name the table Customers Text.   Accept all other default options.

 

Append   the linked customer records to the original Customer table in the database.   Append the 32 records from Customers1 and the 36 records from Customers2.   Open the Customer table to view the appended records. Close the Customer   table.

 

Close   all database objects. Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the   database as directed.

  

Determining the Square Root of a Number Via Recursion For this programming project you will develop an recursive function to find the square root of a number. The function should the number for which we are determining the square root and any other arguments you deem necessary. The recursion should terminate when the calculated square root produces a squared value within 0.001 of the value we are finding the square root of.
The following is required:
1. The user should be prompted to input a positive number.
2. The program should check to determine whether the user entered a valid number, i.e. -4.0 doesn’t work.
3. The program should call a function called: recursive sqrt(argument, argument, ….) .
4. The recursive square root function should continue to call itself until the value calculated for the square root when squared is within 0.001 of the value for which we are calculating the square root.
5. Your calculated value of the square root should be printed to the screen.

Respond to the following discussion with 150 words or more.

 

Hello class,

Today were gonna take a look at Abstract Data Types!

The way that abstract data types are implemented reminds me a LOT  about HTML and CSS. when it comes to CSS, it is what the user see’s and  interacts with that hides the HTML and raw code/implementation, and is  typically in its own “style sheet” that is referenced by the source html  file.

Let me put this into java terms.

For example if we take a look at a List. The List data type has a lot  of functionality hidden within it that you don’t see or interact with  as a user. Things such as count, pointers, and how the data is stored in  a sequence.

Then you take a look at Linked List.

A linked list is a linear data structure, you can almost think of it  as a physical structure. Once the size is defined, it creates a box to  place each object with its own data part. The Linked List still uses  pointers, but each element is linked and also referenced as a node. 

The main difference between General purpose data structures and  Abstract data types is how they are perceived. With abstract data types,  when using the application program, how the data is handled is hidden,  you cant see what type of algorithms are used, or what data structures  are used. In general purpose data structures, they aren’t trying to  explicitly hide it.

Importance of Security Policies

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Explain the importance of information security policies and the role they play in ensuring sound and secure business information.

Assignment Requirements

Answer the following question(s):

1.Think about how you would feel if there were no rules regarding how your credit card information was stored on merchants’ websites. Consider whether you would purchase items online. Would the Internet be as big as it is today if we had no laws or information security policies regarding data that makes up an e-commerce transaction? Provide rationale for your answer.

2.Imagine that you work for an organization that has no Internet use policy. Employees use the Internet in whatever way they want using company-owned personal computers. Could this cause a problem for the organization? Why or why not?

GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THE POST BELOW, ALSO ASK THREE QUESTIONS PRETAINING TO THE POST.

 

As the cloud has become the norm for many businesses and users at this point, I selected Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). SaaS is the concept of enabling users with the ability to connect and use cloud resources over the internet (Chkadmin, 2022). The most recent example that applies to many of us here at Strayer University would be Microsoft 365. Specifically, we can log in to Strayer University and utilize many of the Microsoft applications or “software” provided through this cloud service. This is a perfect example of SaaS and poses many benefits but offers many challenges as well.

One of the main issues with the SaaS option of Microsoft 365 is that the user’s credentials are the target. If a user’s credentials are compromised, malicious actors are provided direct access to not only the user’s data but also the data within the organization that the user’s a member of. This exposes potentially sensitive data and places other assets and users at risk.

Within my organization, we have additional security configurations in place for this specific reason. One example is multifactor authentication through something you have and something you know. Along with two-person authentication, when I enable or request access to certain information, another user with the same permission or more must authenticate my request. Through this configuration, justifications are required for auditing purposes as well to harden resources and limit unauthorized access.
