Assignment No. 02

Semester: Fall 2011

CS201: Introduction to Programming

Total Marks: 20

Due Date:21/11/2011

Instructions:

Please read the following instructions carefully before submitting assignment. It should be clear that your assignment will not get any credit if:
The assignment is submitted after due date.
The submitted assignment does not open or file is corrupt.
Assignment is copied(partial or full) from any source (websites, forums, students, etc)


Note: You have to upload only .cpp file. Assignment in any other format (extension) will not be accepted and will be awarded with zero marks. For example, if you submit code in .doc (Word document) or .txt files, no reward will be given in any case.



Objectives:

The objective of this assignment is to provide hands on experience of:


Functions
Arrays Manipulation
Pointers with Arrays


Guidelines:

Code should be properly indented and well commented.
Follow C/C++ rules while writing variable names, function names etc
Use only dev-C++ for this assignment.
Use appropriate C/C++ structure i.e. if-else; switch statement etc to get inputs from user where required (Marks will be deducted if inappropriate structure will be used).

Problem Statement:
Write a program which calculates the increase or decrease in the annual income of a company for each year.

Detailed Description:

The program should start by asking the user to enter the company’s annual income for each year starting from year 2000 till 2009. Income must be taken in million. Implementation of following user defined functions are mandatory for this program:


A function GetAnnualIncome(), which will take and store the income for each year in an input array. The input entered by user should be integer only. The input array should be passed as argument to the function. While taking the input, if annual income entered by the user is a negative value, the program should prompt the user to enter the income again for that year.


A function CalcIncChange(), which will take two arrays as its arguments. This function will calculate the increase or decrease in the annual income of the company for each year by subtracting the current year income from the income of previous year. For example, to calculate income increase or decrease for year 2001, the following formula can be used:


Income increase or decrease for year 2001 = Income of Year 2001 – Income of Year 2000


Income of year 1999 = 1000 million
The increase or decrease in the income for each year will be stored in another array. Calculated increase or decrease in the income for each year should also be displayed on the screen.


A function CalcChangePercent(), will calculate the percentage of income increase or decrease for each year and then will display this calculated percentage on the screen. The function will take array as its argument and calculates the percentage for each year using the formula given below:


Income increase or decrease in percentage for year 2001 = (Income increase or decrease for year 2001 / Income of Year 2000) * 100


After calculating the percentage for each year, it should be displayed on the screen as well.


A function IncDecYears(), will be used to display the years in which the company income increased and years in which company income decreased.
A function MaxIncDecYears(), will take a pointer to an array and by using pointer arithmetic, displays only those two years in which the company faced maximum increase and maximum decrease in its income.

Sample Output:

The sample output of program is given below:

ISL201 GDB 1 SOLUTION

Social structure is a term used in the social sciences to refer to patterned social arrangements which form the society as a whole, and which determine, to some varying degree, the actions of the individuals socialized into that structure. The meaning of “social structure” differs between various fields of sociology. On the macro scale, it can refer to the system of socioeconomic stratification (e.g., the class structure), social institutions, or, other patterned relations between large social groups. On the meso scale, it can refer to the structure of social network ties between individuals or organizations. On the micro scale, it can refer to the way norms shape the behavior of actors within the social system.
These meanings are not always kept separate. For example, recent scholarship by John Levi Martin has theorized that certain macro-scale structures are the emergent properties of micro-scale cultural institutions (this meaning of “structure” resembles that used by anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss).
The English word ‘society’ can be stretched or narrowed to cover almost any form of association of persons possessing any degree of common interests, values, or goals. ‘Society’ in the nineteenth century meant the upper classes; one might now refer to ‘international academic society’ or ‘European society’, though these uses might be disputed. The primary and most normal sense refers to a society defined by the boundaries of the state, even though this usage is odd and potentially misleading in the many cases where there is more than one sizeable ethnic or cultural group in a society, like Canada and South Africa.
Philosophy Dictionary: society
A group of persons unified by a distinctive and systematic set of normative relations, whereby actions of one are perceived as meriting characteristic responses by others. To be part of the same society is to be subject to these norms of interaction.
A society is a group of humans or other organisms of a single species that is delineated by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, or eusociality. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture or institutions. Like other groups, a society allows its individual members to achieve individual needs or wishes that they could not fulfill separately by themselves, without the existence of the social group. Society, however, may be unique in that it is ontologically independent of, and utterly irreducible to, the qualities of its constituent individuals. As a reality sui generis, or “of its own kind”, it is emergently composed of social facts that often hinder rather than help the pursuits of the subjects that form its physical and psychological underpinnings.
More broadly, a society is an economic, social or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied multitude of individuals. Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups. A society may be a particular ethnic group, such as the Saxons; a nation state, such as Bhutan; a broader cultural group, such as a Western society; or even a social organism such as an ant colony.
The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.

Gaddafi spends two hours with 200 Italian ladies

قریباً دو سال قبل کرنل معمر قذافی نے اٹلی کی دوسو حیسناووں کی دعوت کی

سب سج دھج کر آئیں

ایک سے ایک بڑھ کر حسینہ تھیپوری دنیا کے میڈیا نے اس خبر کو خوب اچھالا کہہ مسلم ممالک میں لوگ بھوکےمر رہے ہیں اور ایک مسلمان ملک کا عرب سردار عیاشی میں پڑا ہے لڑکیوں کی دعوت کر رہا ہے

سب لڑکیاں حیران تھیں

سب سوچ رہیں تھیں ایک ملک کا صدر دعوت کر رہا ہے پتا نہیں کیا وجہ ہے

وجہ وہ تھی جو پوری دنیا میں کسی نے نہیں سوچی تھی

کرنل صاحب نے سب لڑکیوں ایک ہال میں اکٹھا کیا اور سب کو نوسے سے سو سو یورو کے درمیان رقم دی

اس کے بعد اس نے ان سب لڑکیوں کو

ایک ایک قرآن پاک دیا

جو کہ اٹالین زبان میں ترجمہ شدہ تھا

اس کے بعد کرنل صاحب نے ایک گھنٹے اسلام کی افادیت کے بارے لیکچر دیا

یہاں دیکھ لیں خبر

اب سو سوال اٹھتے ہیں کہ لڑکیوں کو ایک مرد تبلیغ نہیں کر سکتا

Muammar Gaddafi disappointed some 200 Italian women after he invited them using an agency advertizing a "party" where the Libyan leader proceeded to lecture them on Islam, Italian media reported on Monday.

The ad, by the Hostessweb agency, was very specific in the kind of woman that should attend and read: "Seeking 500 attractive girls between 18 and 35 years old, at least 1.70 meters (5 foot, 7 inches) tall, well-dressed but not in mini-skirts or low cut dresses."

ld receive €60 ($90) and "some Libyan gifts." Among them was an undercover reporter for Italian news agency ANSA, who took photos and described the evening's proceedings.

The reporter described how the ladies answered the ad expecting to attend a lavish party but were instead told to wait in a large hall until the arrival of Gaddafi, who gave them a lesson on Libya and the role of women in Islam.

Italian press reported that the Libyan leader explained it was "untrue that Islam is against women" and said in the West women "have often been used as pieces of furniture, changed whenever it pleases men. And this is an injustice."

To the dismay of those present the lecture lasted for around two hours, including a Q&A session, and concluded at midnight with an exhortation by Gaddafi to "convert to Islam" and with each woman given a copy of the Quran and a book of sayings by Gaddafi, called the Green Book.

A girl with a copy of the Quran on a bus after leaving the Rome villa

"It was anything but the VIP party we were expecting, they didn't even give us a glass of water," one attendee told ANSA.

Others said they were offended by what they considered anti-Christian aspects of his lesson, such as when Gaddafi recounted how Muslims do not believe Jesus was crucified but God replaced him with a lookalike and took Jesus up to heaven to save him from the torture.

The Libyan ambassador told ANSA that Gaddafi was planning other similar evenings during his three-day stay in Italy where he is attending the Rome-hosted United Nations food summit.

ACC501 GDB Idea Solution

Excellent customer service can create loyal customers for life who are willing to refer your business to friends, family, and colleagues.

Providing customer service starts with a genuine desire to delight your customers, but you also have to think beyond selling your product or service. You need to consider the cumulative experience your customers have when they visit your store or website, what they think and feel, and what you can do to make it better.

Here are nine ways you can start to create a pattern of excellent customer service in your business.

1. Know Your Product/Service

In order to provide good customer service; you need to know what you're selling, inside and out. Make sure you know how your product or service works. Be aware the most common questions customers ask about your products, and know how to articulate the answers.2. Be Friendly

As they say, customer service starts with a smile. When you are in a face-to-face situation, a warm greeting should be the first thing your customers see and hear when they ask for help. And even when handling customer service requests via telephone, a smile can come through in your voice, so make sure you're ready to be friendly.

3. Say Thank You

Gratitude is memorable, and it can remind your customers why they shopped at your store or hired your company. Regardless of the type of business you have, saying thank you after every transaction is one of the easiest ways to start a habit of good customer service.

4. Train Your Staff

It's important to make sure all of your employees, not just your customer service representatives, understand the way they should talk to, interact with, and problem solve for customers. Provide employee training that gives your staff the tools they need to carry good customer service through the entire customer experience.5. Show Respect

Customer service can often involve emotions, so it's important to make sure you and others you have handling your customer service tasks are always courteous and respectful. Never let your own emotions overtake your desire to see your customer walk away happy.

6. Listen

Listening is one of the simplest secrets of customer service. Listening means hearing what your customers are saying out loud, as well as what they are communicating non-verbally. Watch for signs that they are displeased, as well as what say to you directly.

7. Be Responsive

There may be nothing worse than non-responsiveness to a customer who is trying to get help, resolve an issue, or find out more about what you're selling. It's important to respond quickly to all inquiries, even if it is only to say you are looking into the issue and will be back in touch. Some response is always better than none so the customer doesn't

Idea solution

Cycles of Products or Services normally entail the following phases.

INTRODUCTION PHASE: When items are first introduced, it is received with curiosity. Demand is low in the beginning then when buyers begin familiar with the product and see it as a reliable and good buy, they start buying it.

GROWTH PHASE: With the passage of time, production and design improvements lead to decrease in cost and price becomes an attractive feature with increase in reliability.

MATURITY PHASE: When the product reaches maturity stage its demand can only increase if design is refined or changed and some differentiation feature is added this may increase the demand but when it goes down

SATURATION PHASE: In this phase product demand declines and the market is saturated with either a compatible product or substitutes.

DECLINE: In this phase, most of the organizations adopt a defensive design R&D Strategy in an attempt to prolong the life of the product by employing new packaging, redesigning it, improving its reliability.
