You are required to write a program for BILLING SYSTEM of a virtual restaurant. The basic idea is that by entering the meal price, your billing system will calculate the Sales Tax, Total amount and Complement offer upon that meal. The program will process the billing of undetermined number for customers. At the end, program will show sum of total amount of all the customers. 

Detailed Description:

Billing System should work as under: 

> You are required to take meal price as input from user. 

> After getting this input, program will calculate the sales tax on it as given below: 

Meal Price Sales Tax applicable 

Less than or equal to 1000 No sales Tax on it. 

Greater than 1000 and less than or equal to 2000 1% of meal price. 

Greater than 2000 2% of meal price.

> After calculating the sales tax, program will calculate and display the total amount of the meal according to given formula: 

Total Amount = Meal_Price + Sales_Tax 

> Now, program will prompt to serve the complement sweet dish to customer on the basis of total amount as given below:

Total Amount Sweet Dishes

Less than 1000 Candies

Greater than or equal to 1000 and less than 2000 Sweet Bread

Greater than or equal to 2000 and less than 3000 Pudding

Greater than or equal to 3000 and less than 4000 Cake

Other amounts Trifle

> After displaying the information of one customer, the program should ask the user if he/she again wants to process the bill of another customer. The user will be given two options. If user selects "Y or y", the program will start the processing of another customer. If user selects "N or n", the billing system exits.

> Before exiting from billing system, this program should display the total number of customers it processed, and sum of total amount of all the customers.

Q.1. There are multiple ways to enhance the performance of a computer system. Discuss what role a cache can play in boosting up the performance of a computer system? (5 Marks)

Answer:
A CPU cache is a cache used by the central processing unit of a computer to reduce the average time to access memory it is different as compare to the main memory which is used to copy data from the secondary storage it store the data inside the page file and then take it from there as compare to cache memory it exists inside the CPU and directly gives the data to cpu to process the instructions lets see a figure which will make it more clear. The cache is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations. As long as most memory accesses are cached memory locations, the average latency of memory accesses will be closer to the cache latency than to the latency of main memory. It is Volatile memory, also known as volatile storage, (FutureBlog) is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information,When the processor needs to read from or write to a location in main memory, it first checks whether a copy of that data is in the cache. If so, the processor immediately reads from or writes to the cache, which is much faster than reading from or writing to main memory. Most modern desktop and server CPU's have at least three independent caches: an instruction cache to speed up executable instruction fetch, a data cache to speed up data fetch and store, and a translation [Future Blog] look-aside buffer (TLB) used to speed up virtual-to-physical address translation for both executable instructions and data. Data cache is usually organized as a hierarchy of more cache levels which are L1 and L2 etc.

Q.2. Generally there is a concept that “Memory” and “Storage” are same terms. Do you agree? Justify your opinion with a real life example. (5 Marks)

Answer:-
AS we know nowadays these are very common terms which we use in our daily life so for that you called mostly the Ram as the memory of the system and the Storage device which is called the hard disk or Flash (USB) memory or can be a memory card. So what’s the difference between them lets see it in real life that in Memory which is Volatile (FutureBlog) and need powers to maintain if the electricity is off then it is going to wash each and everything. As compare to the Storage Non-Volatile memory which doesn’t need the power all the time when the data is store to it and power went off next time you can see the data inside it. As we can see a new functions which start from the XP Windows Os from Microsoft. Hibernate it store the data to the hard drive from the Memory You can say the Memory to storage when you hibernate the system it will open next time all the files and applications where you were working. So it’s an example from real life.

Another Solution

Q.1. There are multiple ways to enhance the performance of a computer system. Discuss what role a cache can play in boosting up the performance of a computer system? (5 Marks)

Answer:-
Cache memory is random access memory RAM that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory.


Q.2. Generally there is a concept that “Memory” and “Storage” are same terms. Do you agree? Justify your opinion with a real life example. (5 Marks)

Answer:- 

The term memory refers to the amount of RAM installed in the computer, whereas the term storage refers to the capacity of the computer’s hard disk. To clarify this common mix-up, it helps to compare your computer to an office that contains a desk and a file cabinet.
The file cabinet represents the computer's hard disk, which provides storage for all the files and information you need in your office. When you come in to work, you take out the files you need from storage and put them on your desk for easy access while you work on them. The desk is like memory in the computer: it holds the information and data you need to have handy while you're working.

Consider you are walking alongside a road where you see a fender bender. Both the drivers have developed a conflict on this issue and none of them is ready to accept his mistake. Both of them are talking about litigation and that even in a harsh tone. 

As a student of conflict management, you are well aware about the techniques of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). Which technique of ADR do you think would be more suitable in this situation to resolve the matter on the spot? Discuss with solid reasons.

Solution:

I suggest that meditation will be most suitable ADR technique to resolve conflict between Fender Bender because it is a voluntary and confidential process in which neutral third party help in discussing difficult issue, developing options, negotiating an agreement and formalizing agreement. According to above scenario, Fender Bender is much annoyed with each other and talk in a harsh tone so for this purpose there will be a need of mediator who helps while resolving problem. The mediator can be any person like police or any other person who play neutral rule, talk for penalty etc and helps both parties for creating their own solution.

.......
it can b mediator n may b conciliation also because thy are getting harsh so here we should use conciliation.When the parties are too angry to speak with each other, a conciliator may be all that is needed.
