Remember to follow the Expectations on Homework when preparing your solutions, including the academic honesty policy.
The following code produces bar graphs for three pieces of data.
;; bar-graph : number number number -> image
;; consumes three numbers and produces bar graph of results
;; NOTE: background image sized for inputs up to 20
(define (bar-graph num-a num-b num-c)
(overlay/xy (overlay/xy (overlay/xy (rectangle 80 80 'solid 'tan)
-25 (- 40 (* 1/2 3 num-a))
(rectangle 15 (* 3 num-a) 'solid 'red))
0 (- 40 (* 1/2 3 num-b))
(rectangle 15 (* 3 num-b) 'solid 'blue))
25 (- 40 (* 1/2 3 num-c))
(rectangle 15 (* 3 num-c) 'solid 'green)))
Copy this code to your homework file, then create a cleaner version of it using helper functions and constants. Turn in only your final version (with all helpers and constants). You do not need to include a copy of the original code. Your final version should have the same behavior as the original code (don't embellish it, just clean it up).
Be sure to include contracts, purposes and test cases for your helper functions.
Describe in a few sentences how you went about this exercise. Specifically, how did you decide when to create a helper function or constant?
A company that organizes and runs conferences stores several pieces of information on the people who have registered for the conference: their name, registration category (regular, student, or member), hotel information, and whether they plan to attend the banquet dinner. Hotel information consists of the number of nights needed, what rating of hotel is requested (a number of stars from 2 to 4, inclusive), and the room type needed (double or king).
Your solutions to the following problems should use helper functions in place of repeated code (we will deduct points otherwise). You may also introduce helper functions to improve the readability of your code. Work through the reading on helper functions for examples of what we expect here.
Develop a data definition for hotel information. Provide three examples of data with your solution.
State all of the operators (with their contracts) that are created for your define-struct in the previous question.
Develop a data definition for conference registrations. Include both the define-struct and three examples of data.
Write a program registration-rate which consumes
a registration category and returns the registration fee for that
category. Fees are given in the following table:
| regular | $400 |
| member | $350 |
| student | $150 |
Write a program hotel-surcharge which consumes
hotel information and produces the total charge for that hotel request
(for all nights). One night starts at $109 for a double and $89 for a
king at a 2-star hotel. Rates go up $30 per night for each room type
for each additional star (so a 4-star king room should cost $149 a
night). Compute the charges based on the formula given, rather than
by explicitly coding in the rates for each room-type and star
combination.
Write a program fees-due which consumes a
conference registration structure and produces the total fees due for
the registration. The total fees should include the registration fee,
hotel surcharge, and $55 if the person plans to attend the
banquet.
Write a program raise-stars which consumes a hotel
info and a number (new number of hotel stars) and returns a hotel
info. If the given number is larger than the number of hotel stars in
the given hotel info, the produced hotel info has the new number of
hotel stars (and all other information the same). Otherwise, all of
the information in the produced hotel info should be the same as in
the given hotel info.
Write a program upgrade-hotel which consumes a
conference registration (not a hotel info) and a number (new number of
hotel stars) and returns a conference registration. The produced
registration should raise the stars of the hotel in the registration
according to the same rules as in the previous question. All other
information should be the same between the consumed and produced
registrations.
Turn in a single file hwk2.ss or hwk2.scm containing all code and documentation for this assignment. Make sure that both students' names are in a comment at the top of the file.
For the helper functions problems, read the notes on creating helpers and come to office hours if you have questions.
For the programming problems, data definitions first! Think about what data you need for this problem, which of it belongs together, and how the various forms of data should be related. Then write define-structs that capture your data. Then turn to the programs.
Post other questions to the discussion board or come to office hours.
