...ArrayList Johnnie L. Bagley III PRG/420 October 09, 2013 Dr. Orenthio K. Goodwin ArrayList The differences between the Array and an ArrayList is a common question asked by beginners, just starting to code using Java. The Array and ArrayList are both used to store elements, which can be a primitive or an object in the case of ArrayList in Java. A main difference between the ArrayList and an Array in Java would be the static nature of the Array, but the ArrayList has a dynamic nature. Once an Array is created, programmers cannot change the size of it, but an ArrayList will be able to re-size itself at any time. There is one more notable difference between ArrayList and an Array (Paul, 2012). The Array is a core part of Java programming that has a special syntax and a semantics support within Java. An ArrayList is a part of the collection framework of popular classes, such as HashMap, Hashtable, and Vector. There are six more differences between Array and ArrayList which will be listed in numeral order: 1. First and Major difference between Array and ArrayList in Java would be that Array is a fixed length data structure, while ArrayList is a variable length collection class. 2. Another difference is that an Array cannot use Generics, due to it cannot store files, unlike the ArrayList that allows users to use Generics to ensure storage. 3. Programmers can compare the Array vs. ArrayList on how to calculate length of Array or size of an ArrayList. 4....

...Task 1 LO 1.1 All high-level programming languages support the concept of data types. A data type defines a set of values that a variable can store along with a set of operations. Data types are used to store various types of data which is managed by program. Data type attaches with variable to determine the number of bytes to be allocate to variable and valid operations which can be performed on that variable. Although C has several built-in data types, it is not a strongly typed language, as are Pascal and Ada. C supports various data types and here some common data type as character, integer and floating-point types. C defines five foundational data types as defined below: ▪ character ▪ integer ▪ floating-point ▪ double floating-point ▪ valueless These are declared as by char, int, float, double, and void, respectively. These types form the basis for some other types also. The extent and choice of these and data types may contrast amongst processor natures and compilers. However, in all belongings an object of type char is 1 byte. C stores character type inside as an integer. Each character has 8 bits so, we can have 256 different characters values (0-255). Character set is used to map between an integer value and a character. The size of an int is ordinarily the same as the word length of the implementation setting of the program. C has 3 classes of integer storage namely short int, int and long int. All of these data types...

...Format The first section of the outline is the Introduction, which identifies the subject and gives an overview of your reaction to it. The introduction paragraph ends with your thesis statement, which identifies whether your expectations were met and what you learned. The Thesis statement serves as the focal point of your paper. It also provides a transition to the body of the paper and will be revisited in your conclusion. The Body of your paper identifies the three or more, major points that support your thesis statement. Each paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence. The rest of each paragraph supports your topic sentence. Keep in mind that a transition sentence at the end of each paragraph creates a paper that flows logically and is easy to read. When creating the outline, identify the topic sentence for each paragraph, and add the supporting statements, evidence, and your own experiences or reactions to the subject underneath. The Conclusion wraps up your essay, serving as the other bookend in stating and proving your thesis statement. In outlining the conclusion, identify the thesis statement and add the main points from the body paragraphs as a recap. Don't add new information to the conclusion, and be sure to identify the closing Conclusion statement of your reflection paper.

...Abstract Mission statements and organizational goals have evolved dramatically over the past twenty years. Once a mission statement was a simple statement that conveyed why the organization existed. Now, that same statement may include information about supporting sustainability and corporate responsibility. This document will look at trends within mission statements and goals. Organizational Goals According to dictionary.com, a goal is defined as the result or achievement toward which the effort is directed. For each goal that an organization sets, it also sets objectives. Objectives are short-term targets with measurable results. Without clearly-defined goals and objectives, organizations will have trouble coordinating activities and forecasting future events (Marler, 2013). Virtually every business has a goal or goals that they want to accomplish. Most start with mission statements that tell us why the organization exists and state goals on what they hope to achieve. One of the most comprehensive mission statements that review their goals in terms of leadership, quality and value, profits, ethics, and social responsibility is Caterpillar (King, Case, and Premo, 2010). Caterpillar Caterpillar will be the leader in providing the best value in machines, engines, and support services for customers dedicated to building the world’s infrastructure and developing and transporting its resources. We provide the best value to customers. Caterpillar people will increase...

How does it affect a company? What does it do for a country? What are some major benefits of going global? Who are the recipients of these benefits, if there are any? Let’s get started by answering the first question. “Globalization is the increasing economic interdependence among countries and their organizations as reflected in the flow of goods and services, financial capital, and knowledge across country borders” (Hitt, Ireland, Hoskisson, pg. 9. 2013). Starbucks, an American company headquartered in Seattle, Washington is one of the most global companies I know of with more than 20,000 stores in over 50 countries around the world. I have had the opportunity to enjoy the taste of home in at least 5 different countries, which are almost the same as home but more geared to the host country tastes. As you can see, going global allowed for expansion into different markets around the world, which in return lead to countries who supply products to reach those markets as well. For instance, Starbucks by coffee from places such as Africa, Latin America and Asia by doing so this creates jobs in those areas and increases export of goods. These are major benefits from all parties involved. Coffee drinker benefit the most as they...

...projects” (Milligan, & Smith, 2011). Tender Childcare is no different than any other business that needs innovation to prosper in the markets of today. This essay will give information concerning Tender’s vision, mission, and values and how each component is used to facilitate the day-to-day actions of Tender Childcare. The mission and vision statements serve as directions for a business, providing the blueprint for operations and keeping the organization focused on its goals. “These statements serve a dual purpose by helping employees to remain focused on the tasks at hand, as well as encouraging them to find innovative ways of moving towards an increasingly productive achievement of company goals” (Investopedia, 2015). The mission, vision, and value statements also serve as directives that detail what services or goods a company offers to its customers. The competitive advantage, prosperity, and seamless operation of an organization is guided by the mission, vision, and value statements, so creating, spreading, and adhering to these statements is imperative for Tender Childcare. Business Description with Mission Statement The strategy of Tender Childcare is to provide a 24-hour childcare service available to each employee of the National Security Agency (NSA). The employees of NSA work varying shifts and cannot readily tend to the needs of his or her children, causing scheduling conflicts, tardiness, and mounting fees from childcare companies.
