The Encore Video Store Co. is owned and operated by Sergio Alonzo. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Sergio Alonzo and Suzie Engel, the chief accountant for The EncoreVideo Store: Sergio: Suzie, I’ve got a question about this recent balance sheet. Suzie: Sure, what’s your question? Sergio: Well, as you know, I’m applying for a bank loan to finance our new store in Cherokee, and I noticed that the accounts payable are listed as $120,000. Suzie: That’s right. Approximately $100,000 of that represents amounts due our suppliers, and the remainder is miscellaneous payables to creditors for utilities, office equipment, supplies, etc. Sergio: That’s what I thought. But as you know, we normally receive a 2% discount from our suppliers for earlier payment, and we always try to take the discount. Suzie: That’s right. I can’t remember the last time we missed a discount. Sergio: Well, in that case, it seems to me the accounts payable should be listed minus the 2% discount. Let’s list the accounts payable due suppliers as $98,000, rather than $100,000. Every little bit helps. You never know. It might make the difference between getting the loan and not. How would you respond to Sergio Alonzo’s request?

“”Simple Perl Assignment – Program that alphabetically sorts strings”””

NOTE :::: Actually it just needs to be simple program that does what has requested and will have some form of documentation showing work cited, can be internet or book..

 

 

Please write a simple Perl script following the instructions below.

Write a Perl program that reads in an arbitrary number of strings from the command line and displays them sorted alphabetically.

Here is an example:

type:

    perl mySorter.pl spencer able delta

see:

    able delta spencer

type: 

  perl mySorter.pl

see:

Invalid command line arguments to program. Please supply two or more strings to sort.

Optional command line switch

type:

   perl mySorter.pl -r spencer able delta

    or

   perl mySorter.pl–reverse spencer able delta 

    See:

   spencer delta able

NOTE: the command line switch (-r or –reverse) can be present anywhere in the command e.g.  perl mySorter.pl spencer able delta  –reverse  should work to. 

Did you know: that the single dash followed by a letter or the double dash followed by the entire word is a standard convention?

 You will be graded on this assignment.

Criteria:

• Documentation (has documentation, and work as documented) 
• Works as Documented
• Style and Clarity of Code
• Meets Assignment Requirements

Exceptional work must include one or more of the following:

• A command line switch that controls the order of sorting (ascending [a-z], descending [z-a]) 
• Separate test code (treat writing test code as an independant study project because for most students it will be too much to tackle in the first week, but if you want to go for it – encouraged but by no means required/expected) 

 

Follow the instructions carefully! Points off for failng to do this. 

** Submit a zip or tar.gz file as an attachment. Don’t just paste in text. Do not submit compressed files in any other format like .rar **

You will be asked to cite examples from real-world situations to support your answers. MLA citations are required for all sources when using direct quotes.

 

             

 

 

1. Explain the main purpose of a quality management plan? What are two metrics – besides those provided in this chapter – that Kristin and her team could use on the Just-In-Time training project? Besides ensuring that classrooms are ready for training, where else might they use a checklist on the project?
2. Explain the main purpose of a staffing management plan? What tool should you use to graphically show total staffing needs for a project? What tool should you use to clarify roles and responsibilities for tasks?
3. What is the difference between an RFP and an RFQ? Give an example of the appropriate use of each. How does procurement planning differ for government projects versus those in private industry?
4. Explain why risk management is often neglected on projects? Why is it important to take the time to identify and rank risks throughout a project’s life. 5. Your company is planning to launch an important project starting January 1, which will last one year. You estimate that you will need one half-time project manager; two full-time business analysts for the first six months; two full-time marketing analysts for the whole years; four full-time business interns for the months of June, July, and August; and one full-time salesperson for the last three months. Use spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Projects resource utilization, to create a stacked-column chart showing a resource histogram for this project, similar to the one shown in Figure 5-8 (page 189 of your textbook). Be sure to include a legend to label the types of resources needed, and use appropriate titles and axis labels. You can use the resource histogram template on the companion Web site to make this exercise easier.
