To gain a competitive edge this year, the upper management of a global it company has decided to focus on customer service, employee training, and continuous quality improvement. this approach is known as

Problem 1 - hashing we would like to use initials to locate an individual. for instance, mel should locate the person mark e. lehr. note: this is all upper case. generate a hash function for the above using the numbers on your telephone. you know, each letter has a number associated with it, so examine your telephone keypad. generate 512 random 3 letter initials and take statistics on a linked list array size 512 to hold this information report how many have no elements, 1 element, 2 elements, does this agree with the hashing statistics distribution?

For positive constants a and b, the force between two atoms in a molecule is given f(r) = −a r2 + b r3 , where r > 0 is the distance between the atoms. note: a and b are upper case letters. (a) find f '(r) = (b) find the critical point for f(r). r = (c) find f ''(r) = (d) find the value of r so that f ''(r) = 0.

Write a fragment of code that reads in strings from standard input, until end-of-file and prints to standard output the largest value. you may assume there is at least one value. (cascading/streaming logic, basic string processing)
