...WEEK 3 DQ 2 PRG 211 * What are the similarities and differences between single alternative structures, dual alternative structures, and case structures? Provide an example of one of the three control structures using pseudocode. Try to provide an example that has not already been posted. Selection structures ask a question and, depending on the answer, take one of two courses of action. Then, no matter which path is followed, they continue on the next task. Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed on improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making extensive use of subroutines, block structures and for and while loops. A single-alternative structure is a single block of statements to be executed or skipped. When a single alternative selection structure returns the value of true, the actions on the true branch of the structure are executed. If the expression returns false, no actions are executed and the program control continues to the next executable statement structure in the program. Dual-alternative structures contain two blocks of statements, one of which is to be executed, while the other one is skipped. A case structure executes one sub diagram depending on the input value passed to the structure. Only one sub diagram is visible at a time, and the structure executes only one case at a time. Case structures easily support multiple simple conditions that have similar actions compared to if/else statements. Single-alternative...

...Personal Learning Management Part Three University of Phoenix PRG 211 09-23-2013 Contents Introduction 3 Problem Statement and Solution 4 Conclusion 6 Introduction Parallel array structures can be used for many instances where an individual wants to input information that is unique to them, such as keeping track of their value items of learning. The entire process of putting pen to paper and creating a program is methodical in nature. The code does not have to be complicated and can be written in plain spoken English. Testing a program to see if it works is a simple task. All the programmer has to do is to input the data into the program and if it is functioning properly, a result based on the input and output will appear of the screen. The results come from a calculated list of items that have a represented value declared by the programmer. For instance, if a programmer wanted to design a program to calculate an entire course’s worth of an item with high value, then they would most likely declare the item of high value as the starting declaration and then say how many of that item are in an entire course. Problem Statement and Solution Arrays have been used in a whole host of problems to arrive at solutions for daily routines and tasks that people are involved in. Parallel arrays operate on a “grab that” basis where the values within the strings grab data from each other and produce information...

...Algorithms and Logic for Computer Programming (PRG 211) November 14, 2011 Professor Sprouse Array Structure Proposal In my proposal from week two I would want to find the total number of units per patient for each procedure code billed by the doctor. A parallel array consisting of a one-dimensional and a two-dimensional array in this case would be a good way to solve this problem in a simplified code format. An array would also allow all the data the user wants to input to be stored in the program for multiple queries to be run without having to re-input the data. So this module of the program will allow the user to input all the different procedure codes billed the provider and return a units-per-patient statistic for the searched procedure code. Assuming the data that the user will input is all for the same provider, the following variables will need to be declared: the procedure code, the number of patients, and the number of units billed. Two arrays will be declared as well, one for the procedure code and one for the number of patients and units. The procedure code variable and array must be setup with a string data type since there are some procedure codes that have alpha characters. The number of patients and the number of units variables, as well as their corresponding array will be setup as integer data types. Since both of those variables are of the same data type they can be combined into one two dimensional array. These two arrays will be parallel because they...

Calories are consumed in both food and beverages. Calories can be identified from both product labeling and calorie counters located on the Internet. Calories are burned daily in both daily living and exercise. Calories expended or burned can be calculated using calorie calculators located on the Internet. The balance of calories may be displayed in either calories or pounds and ounces. The following are examples of the information that might be provided: Calories are in balance. _ _ _ more calories are consumed than expended. _ _ _ more calories are expended than consumed. No pounds/ounces were gained or lost. _ pounds _ _ ounces may have been gained. _ pounds _ _ ounces may have been lost. Use the following computation: One pound equals 3500 calories. THE PLAN Identify the criteria TEAM B will need to develop the required software. To do this, Team B must...

...Calorie Management by Team A PRG/211 - Algorithms and Logic for Computer Programming June 29, 2015 Calorie Management With rising obesity rates all across the United States of America, the team felt that it was necessary to build a program that could help citizens make healthier decisions and track those decisions on a day-to-day basis. The team set out to create a program that could manage and track a person’s daily calorie expended as it compares to their calorie intake. This program allows the consumers of the application be more conscientious of the choices they make as to how often they workout and what they choose to eat. To better help you as investors understand the proprietary nature of our application along with the ease of use for the end consumer, we will discuss each of these details along with future updates for this application. Not only will this application continue to improve the lives of those who use it, but it will become a social and cultural phenomenon that will contribute to bettering the lives of all those who need it. The mass appeal of this application is that it is not only a weight loss application, but also one for those who are already healthy. It will help to provide a way for the user to maintain his or her already good habits they have learned on their own or through use of the application The Program The program will ask for specific information about the user’s calories consumed, and calories expended. The calories consumed...

Methods: Exploratory in-depth individual and focus group interviews were conducted with 222 healthcare stakeholders including healthcare providers, managers, policy-makers, and payers to identify factors affecting the quality of healthcare services provided in Iranian healthcare organisations. Results: Quality in healthcare is a production of cooperation between the patient and the healthcare provider in a supportive environment. Personal factors of the provider and the patient, and factors pertaining to the healthcare organisation, healthcare system, and the broader environment affect healthcare service quality. Healthcare quality can be improved by supportive visionary leadership, proper planning, education and training, availability of resources, effective management of resources, employees and processes, and collaboration and cooperation among providers. Conclusion: This article contributes to healthcare theory and practice by developing a conceptual framework that provides policy-makers and managers a practical understanding of factors that affect healthcare service quality.

Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination’s possible causes and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection. Strong and consistent predictors of procrastination were task aversiveness, task delay, selfefficacy, and impulsiveness, as well as conscientiousness and its facets of self-control, distractibility, organization, and achievement motivation. These effects prove consistent with temporal motivation theory, an integrative hybrid of expectancy theory and hyperbolic discounting. Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially because its prevalence appears to be growing. Keywords: procrastination, irrational delay, pathological decision making, meta-analysis Procrastination is extremely prevalent. Although virtually all of us have at least dallied with dallying, some have made it a way of life. Estimates indicate...
