C++ Programming Project – Puzzle Solver

/in /by

make a C++ program that takes input a .txt through std (cin, getline, etc) of a map puzzle, and find solution from start to finish. Meant to utilize stacks and queues, whichever option is inputted. Attached is a pdf that explains in great detail the assignment and what’s needed. For this class (EECS 281 at University of Michigan), the programs are made through visual studio and should run without fault of that IDE. It would be easiest to code it all in one .cpp file, but if you’d rather you can create different dependencies in .h files, you’ll just need to add that in the Makefile (which I’ll attach). I’ve also attached another students work on this project for your reference, but this has to be new work, so just use it to understand what the program should do. This program also uses getopt, so I’ve attached both getopt.h and getopt.c files, and a file that explains how to use it with visual studio. Will pay whatever is necessary.

Files included in zip:
Project1_W20.pdf (detailed nstructions of assignment)
Project1_the_STL_and_You_Puzzle.pdf (some info of c++ STL for use in project)
Visual_Studio_Installing_Using.pdf (using visual studio for the project, how to use and update with getopt files for use in project)
puzzle.cpp (example of project, but this assignment should be new work, so use only as reference to see how one example might work)
Makefile (use as resource file in visual studio to compile, if needed. The only thing you should need to change is the name of the .cpp that contains the main() function and add any dependencies if needed).
getopt.c and getopt.h (used for choice input, must be used in project. Visual Studio pdf shows how to add these files to the software for use.
P1-sample-windows folder (files that show some input options for troubleshooting and how output should look. instructions talk about these in more detail.)

Benchmark – Capstone Project Change Proposal

/in /by

 

In this assignment, students will pull together the change proposal project components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. At the conclusion of this project, the student will be able to apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice.

Students will develop a 1,250-1,500 word paper that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:

  1. Background
  2. Problem statement
  3. Purpose of the change proposal
  4. PICOT
  5. Literature search strategy employed
  6. Evaluation of the literature
  7. Applicable change or nursing theory utilized
  8. Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures
  9. Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome
  10. Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys, educational materials, etc. are created

Review the feedback from your instructor on the Topic 3 assignment, PICOT Statement Paper, and Topic 6 assignment, Literature Review. Use the feedback to make appropriate revisions to the portfolio components before submitting.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

On Sunday 1/26/20, Kobe Bryant and his 13 year old daughter along with 7 additional passengers and crew were killed in a helicopter accident in California.  Kobe Bryant was an NBA great and considered an inspiration to many.  The accident was confirmed and publicized as the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards were about to take place.  The Grammy team jumped into action and immediately adjusted the schedule, layout, and many details for the evening broadcast.  Please research online and respond to the following.  Use credible sources and include links where appropriate.  

1. Large crowds descended upon the Staples Center to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant.  What risk(s) did this situation pose for the Grammy Awards?  What was done to ensure the safety of all in attendance?  

2.  The red carpet at large events is a carefully designed and timed portion of the event.  News of the tragedy spread quickly and broadcasters quickly adjusted their live coverage.  What was noticeably different from the red carpet in the 2020 broadcast across media outlets?  Do you feel the Grammy organization had an obligation to inform or make suggestions to the media about their coverage of the red carpet or event?  

3.  Live broadcasts always come with challenges.  There were many changes made to the live broadcast of the Grammy Awards in 2020 out of respect for the lives lost earlier that day.  Research one edit to programming that was made between rehearsal and the live broadcast.  Did the event planners and producers of the show do a good job executing the edit?  Why?

Title: The Law of Healthcare Administration 

Edition: 8th (2017) 

Author: Showalter 

Publisher: Health Administration Press 

Book ISBN: 978-1567938760 

Chapter 3: Health Reform, Access to Care, and Admissions and Discharge 

Discuss the following in not less than 200 words:

 

Reforming the United States healthcare system has not been easy. Many have tried and failed. After completing the assigned reading for this week, you will find that the arduous task has been undertaken in the past, only to find that a consensus could not be reached by Congress. As such, the recent passing of this law is an incredible accomplishment, but the hard work is hardly over.

Presently, the United States government, in conjunction with both the public and private healthcare sectors, is working toward implementing the law.

For this week, please review the major provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)   of your textbook and formulate an initial post with the following criteria:

  • In your own words, discuss the passing of the ACA. What was the intent of reforming health care at the time law passed? Provide details on the issues that this law addressed.
  •  Discuss the current state of the ACA. What has changed?  Have the legal challenges to the ACA been successful?  Why or why not? Provide specific examples of challenges that were successful and/or failed.  
  • Finally, what is the future of the ACA?  How is our current political (Congress) addressing the issues facing you in your role as a health administrator? 

In two different paragraph with no less than 75 words give your personal opinion to Brenda Newcomb and  Mary Harris 

Brenda Newcomb 

The ACA is an all-inclusive reform of healthcare that was passed into law by Obama in March 2010. The law of ACA was planned to expand coverage for health insurance to millions of American people who were uninsured. The ACA also extended eligibility for Medicaid and it developed a marketplace for health insurance. The Affordable Care Act stops companies that provide insurance from refusing coverages due to conditions that are pre-existing and does require plans in covering lists of extremely important health benefits. Families who have low income will be able to qualify for additional savings for health insurance plans relating to an insurance payment tax credit and reductions of sharing the cost. The ACA was planned for reducing the costs of health insurance for qualified individuals. The act includes tax credit premiums and reductions of sharing the cost in helping to lower costs for people and families (Kenton, 2019).

In May 2019, the United States Representatives passed a legislation called the omnibus, for bolstering the ACA and lowering prescription drug prices. The bill is planned for safeguard protection for individuals who had preexisting health conditions and in lowing the prices of prescription drugs (Keith, 2019). In 2018, a hearing decision by Judge OConner made a firm decision relating to ACA. The judge ruled that ACA was unconstitutional since Congress reduced the penalty that required people that did not have health insurance in paying a fine.  Although the law of tax did not unlock the individuals sanctioned itself, it did, however, had a penalty of $0 (Zhou, 2019).

1. Affordable Care Act of 2010 – A group of laws that was strategically created to provide insurance coverage to “ALL” Americans regardless of their pre-existing condition(s), their income status without limitations, while improving quality and education and curbing healthcare cost.

Here are some of the provisions, according to NCSL, 2011:

  • Fraud/abuse
  • Minimum coverage for preventive service
  • Tax Credits to employers with less than 25 employees
  • A requirement for health plans to report medical loss ratio
  • Expansion of CHIP
  • Programs to get a deeper look into the effectiveness of quality of care.

2. Current State and the change:

The Republicans are vigilant in trying to repeal the ACA. There are attempts made, that put Law is in serious jeopardy because of the election in 2016 (Showalter, 2017), and this is due to the majority of both houses where the Ruplicians were the majority.

 Legal challenges have not been successful because, in 2019, the Fifth Circuit Court heard arguments in the case of Texas v. Azar where a lawsuit was brought by approximately 18 State Attorney General and endorsed  (Vox, 2019) by Mr. Trump’s Administration. The decision was determined the ACA was unconstitutional since the penalty which required everyone who did not carry health insurance pay a fine was waived.  Legal experts said the argument did not hold water (too weak), therefore it would not stand up against an appeal.

3. Future of ACA:

As we know Mr. Trump has never been in favor of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and there has been several attempts to repeal and replace since he has taken office that have been unsuccessful. Despite those attempts, the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is still improving access to health insurance for more than 20 million Americans through the expansion of Medicaid. Several critical elements of the law still service the growing needs of older adults from the closing the Medicare Prescriptions gap in the elimination of cost-sharing deductibles or copay for preventive health services.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to be quite valuable  (Loria, 2019) to the public. At this moment there isn’t a better alternative, and if some of us, if not all, will remember the good ( don’t shoot me down. I know it is not perfect) that has come out of the creation of this law, the future will seem even brighter, prosperous and very beneficial. I know this is positive thinking on my part. No one really knows the future of this law, due to the many variables that are involved.
