Part 1
The interactive assignment this week is a blog post. In your post, explain to another newbie how to apply algorithmic design and data structure techniques in developing structured programs. Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? If so, explain why one design would be used before another design would be used. Discuss in the post how you would apply algorithmic design and data structure techniques in developing structured programs. Post the link to your blog in the discussion forum.
Part 2
For this assignment, you will take on the role of a member of an IT department. Your chief technology officer (CTO) has tasked your department with the replacement of IT equipment. Your manager does not want to buy a piece of equipment based on the
and name alone. Rather, your manager wants to know the return on investment for each piece in order to make a sound purchasing decision.
Your task is to write a Java program that will be used to calculate ROI on three different pieces of equipment and sort it from best to least ROI. The program must prompt the user to enter the
and name of the equipment, the gain, and the cost for each piece of equipment.
In this coding assignment, you will express searching and sorting algorithms to return the ROI best to least for each piece of equipment. You must apply algorithmic design techniques in developing your program so that you can ensure the user will receive a co
ectly sorted list. Utilize a LinkedList class to create the list. Include comments for each section of the program. You may select variable names as long as proper Java syntax is used. You will also submit your source code in a zip file.
Utilize a Java LinkedList to input the
and name of the equipment along with the equipment’s co
esponding gain and cost. The input should be completed by the user either via keyboard or via file. As a last resort, the data can be hard-coded into the program.
The input for this calculation is in the Gains and Costs for Equipment  Download Gains and Costs for Equipment table. See separate attachment.
Utilize the ROI calculation (below) with the data from the LinkedList. You may select any of the sorting algorithms from Chapter 1 of Data Structures Essentials to sort the ROI from best to least return.
The calculation for Return on Investment Calculation (ROI) is as follows:
ROI = (Gain from Investment – Cost of Investment) / Cost of Investment
Sort from the best to least ROI, and display to the screen the equipment name, gain, cost, and calculated ROI. The program must include the code to inform the user that the program has completed processing.
Your code must include the following as comments at the top of the code:
· Name of program Calculate ROI Program
· Autho
student’s name Mel Weave
· Course name and number: CPT 307 Data Structures & Algorithms (INE2206A)
· Instructor’s name Michael Hayden
· Date submitted March 7, 2022
Take a screen shot of the results page and save the image. When you are finished with your Java program, zip the file(s). Next, submit the zip folder that contains the running source code
Part 3
In a Word document in your own words, describe the object-oriented features of your Java program in a minimum of 200 words. Paste the image of your results.
