Section C Predictions

[edit | edit source]
  • The 2020 paper 1 will contain 1 question in Section C: two parts, worth 1 and 2 marks respectively.
  • What is the function of super() in the definition of the LargeSettlement class? - Not relevant to all languages - Could question be reworded to make it more realistic? (Another option could be: "Explain how Settlement is used as a superclass in the program")
  • State one additional line of code which should be added after the Ben Thor Cuisine default company definition in the Simulation class' constructor in order to make it consistent with the ModifyCompany() function.
  • What relationship (composition, aggregation and inheritance) exists between each of the classes
  • What are the (i) exact chances of each of the events happening individually (ii) the chances of all of the events occurring simultaneously?

Section D Predictions

Programming Questions on Skeleton Program

  • The 2020 paper 1 will contain 4 questions: a 6 mark, an 8 mark question, a 11 mark question and one 12 mark question - these marks include the screen capture(s), so the likely marks for the coding will be 1-2 marks lower.
  • The 2019 paper 1 contained 4 questions: a 5 mark, an 8 mark question, a 9 mark question and one 13 mark question - these marks include the screen capture(s), so the marks for the coding will be 1-2 marks lower.
  • The 2018 paper 1 contained one 2 mark question, a 5 mark question, two 9 mark questions, and one 12 mark question - these marks include the screen capture(s).
  • The 2017 paper 1 contained a 5 mark question, three 6 mark questions, and one 12 mark question.

Current questions are speculation by contributors to this page. Answers are down for maintenance, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Ensure all costs are displayed in the following format £X.XX (4 Marks)
  • Add a new Small Settlement class and an option to create a Small Settlement in the simulation launch menu (6 Marks)
  • Add a Close Outlet event which results in an outlet being removed from the simulation (11 Marks)
  • ExpandOutlet() add option for when the capacity is now zero
  • AlterCapacity(Change) correctly calculate the new DailyCosts when new capacity is limited to the max capacity
  • AddCompany(self) add check to see if CompanyName already exists in _Companies
  • RemoveCompany() add option to remove a company instead of removing each of its outlets individually (this is likely to come up, there is no option 5 in the menu so this seems logical)
  • Add a faster option to load in the default scenario
  • Close an outlet for a specified temporary number of days
  • Merge two companies together
  • Advanced a specified number of days
  • Display how many days have passed
  • Display net gain/loss for the companies
  • Display net and average weekly gains/losses for individual outlets
  • Ensure fuel costs can never become negative
  • Increase or decrease reputation of a company by a inputted value (or predefined values)
  • Modify the CalculateDeliveryCost() function so that the shortest path through all Outlets is used to minimise delivery costs (using Breadth-First graph traversal)
  • Add ability to create a new settlement and have outlets set up there
  • Validation on the initial entries for the program to run its menu
  • Validation on coordinates of Outlets, Households etc since two could randomly overlap on the x and y coordinates
  • Find, by using Djikstra's algorithm, the shortest path between a restaurant and the delivery locations. From there, calculate the total cost of delivery.
  • At day end, if any company has more than £20,000 as a balance, open another outlet at a random location and subtract £20,000 from their balance.
  • Only allow a new outlet to be created at a NEW location (i.e. one that doesn't already have an outlet of that company type)
  • At the end of the day, if a household eats out then its chance to eat out should change to another random number. However, if a household does not eat out then its probability to eat out should increase (e.g by 0.1) (4 Marks)
  • Create a random instance of a company or an outlet running a promotion, during which time its expenses go up but its reputation score also rises
  • Decrease company's balance when an outlet is closed
  • Add a class foodTruck which inherits from the class outlet and has a subroutine move()
  • Add validation for any user input to ensure something is entered
  • Add validation according to type such that inputs required to be numeric are numeric
  • Create an additional category of restaurant, with a new Company of that type created as part of the default companies
  • Close an outlet that runs at a loss for five consecutive days, adding a notification that this has happened to the events
  • Display details of a restaurant, which was either the most profitable, the most visited or the one with the highest reputation reading
  • Generate a random budget and store it as an attribute within each household object; a household that eats out will only eat out will only eat out with a company whose prices are within their budget
  • Incorporate weather into the simulation; it can rain at random, in which cases the probabilities of eating out are all halved, and the presence of rain is indicated within the events
  • Add a feature in which meals can be delivered, rather than customers visiting outlets; households who choose not to eat out might, according to random chance, order food to be delivered, although this costs the company extra in fuel according to the distance of delivery
  • The name chef outlets generally make a profit while other categories make a loss; write a subroutine to determine, for each type of company, how much an outlet should have charged per meal during the previous day in order to have operated at a profit

Calculate the delivery cost to deliver between 2 outlets

Create a random instance of a company or an outlet running a promotion during which time its expenses go up but its reputation score also rises

Delivery cost using Dijkstra's Algorithm. (likely 12 mark question in my opinion)

[edit | edit source]

Dijkstra's algorithm can only be used to find the shortest path between one node and another. In order to optimise delivery cost, we need to calculate the shortest path through all nodes. Djikstra's algorithm is not meant for this.
Find the shortest route to get from the first outlet to all the other outlets.

Java:


VB.NET:


C#:


Delphi/Pascal:

This is a generic Djikstra's algorithm I have written in Delphi. It needs to be adapted for use in the Food Magnate program.

Declare a Node class.

TNode = class
  public
    NodeIdentity, Original, Weight : integer;
    Visited : boolean;
    constructor Create(myNodeIdentity, myOriginal, myWeight : integer);
end;

const Area = Settlement.XSize * Settlement.YSize;
var HorizontalHeap, VerticalHeap : array of integer;

Construct the class

constructor TNode.Create(myNodeIdentity: Integer; myOriginal: Integer; myWeight: Integer);
begin
  NodeIdentity := MyNodeIdentity;
  Original := myOriginal;
  Weight := myWeight;
end;

Grab the next node from the list

function GetNodeFromIdentity(NodeIdentity : integer; ListOfNodes : TList) : TNode; overload;
var
  I : integer;
  Node : TNode;
begin
  result := nil;
  for I := 0 to (ListOfNodes.Count - 1) do
    begin
      Node := ListOfNodes[I];
      if Node.NodeIdentity = NodeIdentity then
        begin
          result := Node;
          break;
        end;
    end;
end;

Find the minimum weight to traverse between two nodes

function GetNodeOfMiniWeight(ListOfNodes: TList) : TNode; overload;
var
  I, minimum : Integer;
  Node : TNode;
begin
  result := nil;
  minimum := maxint;
  for I := 0 to ListOfNodes.Count - 1 do
    begin
      Node := ListOfNodes[I];
      if Node.Visited then continue;
      if Node.Weight < minimum then
        begin
          result := Node;
          Minimum := Node.Weight;
        end;
    end;
end;

Find the shortest path between the origin (restaurant) and the destination (house).

procedure ShortestPath(origin, destination : integer);
var
  NewWeight : integer;
  ListOfNodes : TList;
  CurrentNode, NextNode : TNode;
  ShortestPath : string;
begin
  ListOfNodes := TList.Create;
  CurrentNode := TNode.Create(origin, MaxInt, 0);
  ListOfNodes.Add(CurrentNode);

          ListOfNodes.Add(NextNode);
        end;
    end;

    if (CurrentNode.NodeIdentity < Area*Area-Area) and not (CurrentNode.Original - CurrentNode.NodeIdentity = Area) then
      begin

              begin
                NextNode := TNode.Create(CurrentNode.NodeIdentity + Area, CurrentNode.NodeIdentity, NewWeight);
                ListOfNodes.Add(NextNode);
              end;
          end;
      end;

    if not (CurrentNode.NodeIdentity mod Area = Area - 1) and not (CurrentNode.Original - CurrentNode.NodeIdentity - 1) then

Slight change to Simulation.Run(); Just to add call to ChangeReputation procedure();

Delphi/Pascal:

This power outage event functions by creating a power outage for the entire 'world'. While the power outage is in progress, no companies will gain/ lose any money. At the end of the day the companies will all be reimbursed the earnings from that day. All other events will continue as normal. All new sub processes need to be declared in the class declarations.

// Two lines below changed in the Company.ProcessDayEnd subprocess. Puts the change in balance in a separate variable to be accessed later
Self.BalanceChange := ProfitLossFromOutlets - Self.DailyCosts - DeliveryCosts; // Calculates the change in balance that occurs for the day
Self.Balance := Self.Balance + Self.BalanceChange; // updates the current balance

procedure Simulation.ProcessPowerOutageEvent(); // Procedure added to handle the power outage event
var
  company : integer;
begin
  writeln('There has been a power cut and no companies have been running');

  for company := 0 to length(self.companies) - 1 do

End of world event

[edit | edit source]

Python:

import sys

  def EndOfWorldEvent(self):
    RandNumber = random.random()
    if RandNumber < 0.1:
      RandNumber = random.random()
      if RandNumber < 0.1:

        print("A nuclear World War just finshed all life in Earth! Bye Bye !!!")
        input()
        sys.exit()


In the __DisplayEventsAtDayEnd method:

if EventRanNo < 0.1:
        self.EndOfWorldEvent()


Java:

Within the Simulation class, make a method processEndOfWorld():

private void processEndOfWorld() 
{
    Console.println("An asteroid has hit the earth. The world has ended.");
    System.exit(0);
}

Within the displayEventsAtDayEnd() method in the Simulation class, add:

if (eventRanNo <= 0.1f)
{
    processEndOfWorld();
}


Delphi/Pascal:

The custom end of world message for each chance is not necessary for this question (This may be different if it comes up in the exam), if you're running low on time it may be possible just to have one option and leave out the random choice.

  # Added this function, which allows you to grab the balance into the "processdayend" function in the 
  # Simulation class.
   def GetBalance(self):

           {
               details += current + ". " + outlets[current - 1].GetDetails() + "\n";
           }
           return details;
       }

This needs to be in the simulation class.

public void DeleteCompany(int index) // new subroutine to delete a company which has had all its outlets closed

       {
           int outlets = companies[index].GetNumberOfOutlets();
           if (outlets == 0)
           {
             
                   Console.WriteLine("That company has now closed down as it has no outlets.");
                   companies.RemoveAt(index);
                                               
           }
       }

and it is called in process day end which is shown here

public void ProcessDayEnd()
       {
           int index = 0;
           
           do                                              // calls the other subroutine while the company count is changing
           {
               DeleteCompany(index);
               index++;
           } while (index < companies.Count);
           double totalReputation = 0;
           List<double> reputations = new List<double>();
           int companyRNo, current, loopMax, x = 0, y = 0;
           foreach (var c in companies)
           {
               c.NewDay();
               totalReputation += c.GetReputationScore();
               reputations.Add(totalReputation);
           }
           loopMax = simulationSettlement.GetNumberOfHouseholds() - 1;
           for (int counter = 0; counter < loopMax + 1; counter++)
           {
               if (simulationSettlement.FindOutIfHouseholdEatsOut(counter, ref x, ref y))
               {
                   companyRNo = rnd.Next(1, Convert.ToInt32(totalReputation) + 1);

Remove Company

[edit | edit source]

C#:

make a new method called RemoveCompany.

public void removeCompany()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter company name: ");
            string name = Console.ReadLine();
            bool found = false;
            for(int i = 0; i < companies.Count; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(companies[i]);
                if(companies[i].GetName() == name)
                {
                    companies.RemoveAt(i);
                    Console.WriteLine("Company removed");
                    found = true;
                }
            }
            if (!found)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Company not found.");
            }
        }

modify the Run method to add a new case for option 5

public void Run()
        {
            string choice = "";
            int index;
            while (choice != "Q")
            {
                DisplayMenu();
                choice = Console.ReadLine();
                switch (choice)
                {
                    case "1":
                        simulationSettlement.DisplayHouseholds();
                        break;
                    case "2":
                        DisplayCompanies();
                        break;
                    case "3":
                        string companyName;
                        index = -1;
                        while (index == -1)
                        {
                            Console.Write("Enter company name: ");
                            companyName = Console.ReadLine();
                            index = GetIndexOfCompany(companyName);
                        }
                        ModifyCompany(index);
                        break;
                    case "4":
                        AddCompany();
                        break;
                    case "5":
                        removeCompany();
                        break;
                    case "6":
                        ProcessDayEnd();
                        break;
                    case "Q":
                        Console.WriteLine("Simulation finished, press Enter to close.");
                        Console.ReadLine();
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

lastly, modify the DisplayMenu method to write the option to the console.

public void DisplayMenu()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\n*********************************");
            Console.WriteLine("**********    MENU     **********");
            Console.WriteLine("*********************************");
            Console.WriteLine("1. Display details of households");
            Console.WriteLine("2. Display details of companies");
            Console.WriteLine("3. Modify company");
            Console.WriteLine("4. Add new company");
            Console.WriteLine("5. Remove a company");
            Console.WriteLine("6. Advance to next day");
            Console.WriteLine("Q. Quit");
            Console.Write("\n Enter your choice: ");
        }



Delphi/Pascal:


Slight change to Simulation.Run(); Just to add call to RemoveCompany(); procedure.

procedure Simulation.Run();
var
  CompanyName : String;
  Choice : Char;
  Index : Integer;
begin
  Choice := ' ';
  while Choice <> 'Q' do
    begin
      DisplayMenu();
      readln(Choice);
      case (Choice) of
        '1': Self.SimulationSettlement.DisplayHouseholds();
        '2': DisplayCompanies();
        '3':
          begin
            repeat
              write('Enter company name: ');
              readln(CompanyName);
              Index := GetIndexOfCompany(CompanyName);
            until Index <> - 1;
            ModifyCompany(Index);
          end;
        '4': AddCompany();
        '5': RemoveCompany();
        '6': ProcessDayEnd();
        'Q':
          begin
            writeln('Simulation finished, press Enter to close.');
            readln;
          end;
      end;
    end;
end;

Slight change to menu to show new option

procedure Simulation.DisplayMenu();
begin
  writeln;
  writeln('*********************************');
  writeln('**********    MENU     **********');
  writeln('*********************************');
  writeln('1. Display details of households');
  writeln('2. Display details of companies');
  writeln('3. Modify company');
  writeln('4. Add new company');
  writeln('5. Remove Company');
  writeln('6. Advance to next day');
  writeln('Q. Quit');
  writeln;
  write('Enter your choice: ');
end;

Add Simulation.RemoveCompany(); procedure. Also ensure you declare this within the simulation class deceleration.

procedure Simulation.RemoveCompany();
var
ValidCompanyNum : Boolean;
CompanyNumberInput : String;
CompanyNumber : Integer;
CompanyChange : Company;
ValidChangeInt : Boolean;
ReputationChangeInput : String;
ReputationChange : Integer;
I : Integer;
begin
  ValidCompanyNum := False;
  writeln('What company would you like to remove?');
  repeat
    try
      DisplayCompanyNames();
      write('Select company number: ');
      Readln(CompanyNumberInput);
      CompanyNumber := StrToInt(CompanyNumberInput);
      CompanyChange := Self.Companies[CompanyNumber];
      if( (CompanyNumber >= low(Self.Companies))  and (high(Self.Companies) >= CompanyNumber) ) then
      begin
        ValidCompanyNum := True;
        //Code to Remove from an Array
        if(CompanyNumber = high(Self.Companies)) then SetLength(Self.Companies, high(Self.Companies))
        else
        begin
          for I := CompanyNumber to high(Self.Companies)-1 do
          begin
            Self.Companies[I] := Self.Companies[I+1];
          end;
          setLength(Self.Companies, high(Self.Companies));
        end;
      end
      else raise Exception.Create('Invalid Company Number');
      except
      writeln('Error: Not real company number');
    end;

  until ValidCompanyNum;
  writeln('Company Removed! Press any key to continue');
  readln;

end;

Java BUT ACTUALLY GOOD:


Shows list of companies to be removed

public void removeCompany(){
        for(int i = 0; i < companies.size();i++ ){
            Console.writeLine((i+1) + "." + companies.get(i).getName());
        }
        Console.writeLine("Choose company to be removed: ");
        int removeCompany = (Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine())-1);
        companies.remove(removeCompany);
        run();
    }

public void run() {
        String choice = "";
        int index;
        while (!choice.equals("Q")) {
            displayMenu();
            choice = Console.readLine();
            switch (choice) {
                case "1":
                    simulationSettlement.displayHouseholds();
                    break;
                case "2":
                    displayCompanies();
                    break;
                case "3":
                    String companyName;
                    do {
                        Console.write("Enter company name: ");
                        companyName = Console.readLine();
                        index = getIndexOfCompany(companyName);
                    } while (index == -1);
                    modifyCompany(index);
                    break;
                case "4":
                    addCompany();
                    break;
                case "6":
                    processDayEnd();
                    break;
                case "7":
                    removeCompany();
                case "Q":
                    Console.writeLine("Simulation finished, press Enter to close.");
                    Console.readLine();
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

Obviously add the option for 7 in the menu so they know to press it. Solution by Owain Bestley

Display Costs (£x.xx)

[edit | edit source]

Display the costs in the format £x.xx, as opposed to just an integer value.

C#:

public static string getPoundsFormat(double toChange)
        {
            string changed = "";
            changed = toChange.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
            return changed;
        } //doubt this will be a question since you'd have to change a lot of lines


Delphi/Pascal:

Please note: RoundValue was chosen as the name for this function as round() is a taken keyword in Pascal, when copying code don't change the function name to round or it will break other areas of this program.

function RoundValue(Value : float) : String; // New Function added to round numbers and return a string
var noDecimalPlaces : integer;
begin
         noDecimalPlaces := 2; // Variable to define how many decimal places the resulting string should be
         RoundValue := FloatToStrF(Value, ffFixed, 8, noDecimalPlaces);
end;

To Apply this to the program, simply replace all applicable FloatToStr() functions with this RoundValue() one.

Fuel cost always positive

[edit | edit source]

Ensure fuel costs can never become negative

Points of Interest:

The fuel costs go negative because:
DeliveryCosts = Distance * FuelCostPerUnit
So when FuelCostPerUnit becomes negative, the fuel cost will very quickly break.
Just make sure FuelCostPerUnit does not go negative.


C#:

 
in the company class makes sure it is always positive
 public void AlterFuelCostPerUnit(double change)
        {
            fuelCostPerUnit += change;
            if (fuelCostPerUnit < 0) // checks if below zero 
            {
                fuelCostPerUnit -= fuelCostPerUnit; // if below zero then makes the negative positive
            }
        }

*By Michael Tomkinson


Delphi/Pascal:

procedure Company.AlterFuelCostPerUnit(Change : Real);
begin
  Self.FuelCostPerUnit := Self.FuelCostPerUnit + Change;
  if Self.FuelCostPerUnit < 0 then
    Self.FuelCostPerUnit := 0; //Sets fuel costs to 0 if they fall below 0.
end;

Java:


Python:

def __ProcessCostOfFuelChangeEvent(self):
    FuelCostChange = random.randint(1, 9) / 10.0
    UpOrDown = random.randint(0, 1)
    CompanyNo = random.randint(0, len(self._Companies) - 1)
    if UpOrDown == 1:
      if self._Companies[CompanyNo]._FuelCostPerUnit<FuelCostChange:
        UpOrDown=0
    if UpOrDown == 0:
      print("The cost of fuel has gone up by " + str(FuelCostChange) + " for " + self._Companies[CompanyNo].GetName())

type
  SmallSettlement = class(Settlement)
    public
      constructor New(ReducedXSize : Integer; ReducedYSize : Integer; ReducedHouseholds : Integer); overload;

By Lawrence Dennison-Hall | Peter Symonds College


Java:


By changing the Settlement class to 0 instead of just taking away an integer we can avoid having any issues where we may get a negative integer. We can also now create a custom sized Settlement.

public Settlement() {
        xSize = 0;
        ySize = 0;
        startNoOfHouseholds = 0;
        createHouseholds();
    }

class DefaultSettlement extends Settlement{
    public DefaultSettlement() {
        xSize = 1000;
        ySize = 1000;
        startNoOfHouseholds = 250;
        createHouseholds();
    }
}

class LargeSettlement extends DefaultSettlement {
    public LargeSettlement(int extraxSize, int extraySize, int extraHouseholds) {
        super();
        super.xSize += extraxSize;
        super.ySize += extraySize;
        super.startNoOfHouseholds += extraHouseholds;
        for (int count = 1; count <= extraHouseholds; count++) {
            addHousehold();
        }
    }
}

class SmallSettlement extends Settlement {
    public SmallSettlement(int XSize, int YSize, int Households) {
        super();
        super.xSize = XSize;
        super.ySize = YSize;
        super.startNoOfHouseholds = Households;
        for (int count = 1; count <= Households; count++) {
            addHousehold();
        
    }
}

You also have to alter the simulation class to accomodate for the change, calling the default simulation class instead of just simulation.

 public Simulation() {
        fuelCostPerUnit = 0.0098f;
        baseCostForDelivery = 100;
        String choice;
        Console.write("Enter L for a large settlement, S for a small settlement and anything else for a normal size settlement: ");
        choice = Console.readLine();
        if (choice.toUpperCase().equals("L")) {
            int extrax, extray, extraHouseholds;
            Console.write("Enter additional amount to add to x size of settlement: ");
            extrax = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            Console.write("Enter additional amount to add to y size of settlement: ");
            extray = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            Console.write("Enter additional number of households to add to settlement: ");
            extraHouseholds = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            simulationSettlement = new LargeSettlement(extrax, extray, extraHouseholds);
        }
        else if(choice.toUpperCase().equals("S")){
            int sizeX, sizeY, noHouseholds;
            Console.write("Enter  x size of settlement: ");
            sizeX = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            Console.write("Enter y size of settlement: ");
            sizeY = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            Console.write("Enter number of households in settlement: ");
            noHouseholds = Integer.parseInt(Console.readLine());
            simulationSettlement = new SmallSettlement(sizeX,sizeY,noHouseholds);
        }
        else {
            simulationSettlement = new DefaultSettlement();            
        }

Add a Close Outlet event

[edit | edit source]

Adds a random event function which removes an outlet from a company

C#:


Delphi/Pascal:

New functions and procedures added need to be declared in class definitions.

procedure Simulation.RemoveCompany(CompanyNumber : integer); // Following code adapted from Alex Finch's Remove Company program (Added here to remove companies that have no outlets)
var i : integer;
begin
if(CompanyNumber = high(Self.Companies)) then
                 SetLength(Self.Companies, high(Self.Companies))
else
    begin
         for i := CompanyNumber to high(Self.Companies)-1 do
                  Self.Companies[i] := Self.Companies[i+1];
         setLength(Self.Companies, high(Self.Companies));
    end;
end;

procedure Simulation.ProcessCloseOutletEvent(); // Procedure added to handle closing an outlet
var
  CompanyNumber, NumberOfOutlets : integer;
  CompanyName : String;

begin
  CompanyNumber := trunc(Random() * length(Self.Companies)); // Pick a random company
  CompanyName := self.companies[CompanyNumber].getName(); // Get that companies name
  NumberOfOutlets := self.companies[CompanyNumber].getNumberOfOutlets(); // Get the number of outlets that company has
  self.companies[CompanyNumber].CloseOutlet(Random(NumberOfOutlets)); // Close a random outlet from that company

  if NumberOfOutlets -1 = 0 then // the built in CloseOutlet() function returns whether the company should close or not, however I think this way is easier
  begin
     writeln(CompanyName + ' has closed their last outlet and has closed down');
     RemoveCompany(CompanyNumber)
  end
  else
      writeln(CompanyName + ' has closed one of their outlets, they have ' + IntToStr(NumberOfOutlets -1) + ' outlet(s) left');
end;

procedure Simulation.DisplayEventsAtDayEnd(); // Procedure edited to add in the chance to close an outlet
var
  EventRanNo : Real;
begin
  writeln;
  writeln('***********************');
  writeln('*****   Events:   *****');
  writeln('***********************');
  writeln;
  EventRanNo := random();
  if EventRanNo < 0.25 then
    begin
      EventRanNo := random();
      if EventRanNo < 0.25 then // Close outlet procedure added to this event, could be added to any events
        begin
             ProcessAddHouseholdsEvent();
             ProcessCloseOutletEvent(); // Calls procedure to close an outlet of a company
        end;
      EventRanNo := random();
      if EventRanNo < 0.5 then
        ProcessCostOfFuelChangeEvent();
      EventRanNo := random();
      if EventRanNo < 0.5 then
        ProcessReputationChangeEvent();
      EventRanNo := random();
      if EventRanNo >= 0.5 then
        ProcessCostChangeEvent();
    end
    else
      writeln('No events.');
end;

Java:

  • Under Simulation class add following method
public void closeOutletEvent(){
        int indexCOE = rnd.nextInt((companies.size()-1)+1) +1;
        int outletIndexCOE = rnd.nextInt((companies.get(indexCOE).getNumberOfOutlets()-1)+1) +1;
        for(int i = 0; i<=companies.size();i++){
            if(i == indexCOE){
                boolean closeCompany = companies.get(indexCOE).closeOutlet(outletIndexCOE-1);
                    if (closeCompany) {
                        Console.writeLine("That company has now closed down as it has no outlets.");
                        companies.remove(indexCOE);
                    }
            }
        }
        System.out.println("An outlet has been closed");
    }
  • also under displayEventsAtDayEnd() method, add some of the extra lines of code below:
private void displayEventsAtDayEnd() {
        Console.writeLine(System.lineSeparator() + "***********************");
        Console.writeLine("*****   Events:   *****");
        Console.writeLine("***********************" + System.lineSeparator());
        float eventRanNo;
        eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
        if (eventRanNo<100f){
            eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
            if (eventRanNo < 0.5f) {
                closeOutletEvent();
            }
        }
        if (eventRanNo < 0.25f) {
            eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
            if (eventRanNo < 0.25f) {
                processAddHouseholdsEvent();
            }
            eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
            if (eventRanNo < 0.5f) {
                processCostOfFuelChangeEvent();
            }
            eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
            if (eventRanNo < 0.5f) {
                processReputationChangeEvent();
            }
            eventRanNo = rnd.nextFloat();
            if (eventRanNo >= 0.5f) {
                processCostChangeEvent();
            }
            
        } else {
            Console.writeLine("No events.");
        }
    }


Python:

def __ProcessCloseOutletEvent(self):
  indx = random.randrange(0,len(self._Companies))
  randomCompany = self._Companies[indx]

  print(str(randomCompany._Name+" has closed an outlet"))
  randomCompany.CloseOutlet(random.randrange(0,randomCompany.GetNumberOfOutlets()))
  remove = randomCompany.GetNumberOfOutlets()
  print(remove)
  if remove <= 0:
    print(randomCompany._Name+" has closed down due to not having any more outlets open")
    del(self._Companies[indx])
  else:
    pass
