This is your sixth CS 146 project. In this project, you will design a form for simulating an automated check-out at a supermarket.

Your task is to create a form and apply the appropriate controls for allowing the user to input UPCs one at a time. The form should place each UPC into an array. The form should have a button for adding UPCs to the array, and another button for calculating a receipt. Last, the form should have a listbox for displaying the receipt.

Where to start

Each item in a supermarket is identified by its Universal Product Code (UPC), which consists of a sequence of 12 digits appearing below a rectangle of bars. The bars have these digits encoded into them so that the UPC can be read by an optical scanner. Let’s refer to the UPC as d1 – d12. The digit d1 identifies the type of product (0 for general groceries, 2 for meat and produce, 3 for drug and heath products, 5 for coupons). The first set of five digits, d2-d6, identifies the manufacturer, and the second set of five digits, d7-d11, identifies the product. The twelfth digit, d12, is a check digit. It is chosen so that:

3 * d1 + d2 + 3 * d3 + d4 + 3 * d5 + d6 + 3 * d7 + d8 + 3 * d9 + d10 + 3 * d11 + d12
is a multiple of 10. This check digit is used in the event that a cashier has to enter the UPC manually and mistypes a digit.
You are to write a program to simulate an automated check-out at a supermarket. A master file, called UPC.txt, should have a record for each item in the supermarket consisting of fields for the UPC, the name of the item, and the price of the item. For instance, the file might contain the following records:

037000004301,Jif Peanut Butter – 22 oz,2.29
070734000034,Ceestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea,2.59
099482403645,365 Soda Root Beer,.55
You should create a file of at least 10 different items. Make sure that each item has a unique UPC, and that the UPC you create passes the check formula.
The program should allow the cashier to enter UPCs one at a time and should place the UPCs in a single array. Each UPC should be validated with the formula given above as soon as it is entered. The UPC should only be added to the UPC array if it is valid, otherwise you should prompt the user with a message box that the UPC is invalid, and let them enter it again. After all items have been processed, the program should generate a reciept by comparing the UPCs entered by the user to the records stored in the text file UPC.txt. A receipt, similar to the one shown below, should be displayed in the forms listbox:

22-oz Jif Peanut Butter: $2.29
Celestial Seasoning Sleepytime Tea: $2.59
365 Soda Root Beer: $.55
Total: $5.43

Critical Essay on ‘Sputnik Sweetheart’

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to think critically about a complex piece of literature, applying concepts introduced throughout the course. Looking at Haruki Murakami’s ‘Sputnik Sweetheart’, you need to produce a short essay exploring one of the themes present in the text.

1. Choose one of the following themes:

The Relationship Between Love and Loneliness

The Conflict Between Love and (Sexual) Desire

The Challenges Facing the Artist in Conventional/Mainstream Society

The Effect of Trauma on Memory

2. Develop a thesis statement. Essentially, you need to state how Murakami sees your chosen theme and how he reveals this in the text. Think back to the article you read on ‘Howl’ and how the author stated his/her argument.

For example: Say my theme was ‘Ideas of Beauty’, I would identify what Murakami seems to be saying about beauty throughout the text, and how this is expressed. What is his overall argument? How does he reveal it?: ‘In ‘Sputnik Sweetheart’, Haruki Murakami suggests that there is an important distinction between conventional/objective beauty and that subjective beauty one sees in another when they are in love. He shows this distinction through examples A, B and C.’
3. Prove your thesis statement. Use concrete examples from the text (scenes/incidents that occur, stylistic elements) to illustrate how Murakami explores your chosen theme throughout the text.

Note: You do not need to go outside the novel (i.e. do additional research) to complete this assignment, but you may find it useful to do a bit of research to help you get a bit of a handle on the text. Look at some scholarly articles about Murakami. Please note, I DO NOT want to see regurgitated bits from Sparksnotes, Wikipedia etc. I will be able to recognize them.

Format: Your paper should be in essay format, which means: an introduction where you introduce your topic and explain exactly what you are going to talk about, a body where you prove your argument through a series of examples, a conclusion where you summarize what you have just talked about.

It should be about 4-6 written pages (double-spaced), and should include any works cited or references used (including the novel, itself).

Evaluation: You will be evaluated based on how well you have understood the text, the strength of your thesis statement and your ability to find concrete examples that are relevant to your chosen theme. Clarity will be important.

Over the years, philosophers, lawyers, and social scientists have developed theories about how laws developed and are accepted by cultures. These theories of law, or schools of jurisprudence, change over time, and frequently express fundamental ideas of justice and how a society should be set up for the greater good. Durkheim felt laws were agreed upon standards of society, but Marx felt laws were put in place by a society’s elite to serve the elite’s interests.

Your assignment this week is to discuss the following prompt:

Which two theories do you believe is closer to the truth?
This individual work should include the following:

An in-depth submission free of spelling and grammar errors.
An essay containing a minimum of 200 words.
You will be assessed on the rationale you use in addressing the questions/issue posted, and how well you justify your argument regarding this issue.
