Project 1-1: Set Up a Small Network 5. Answer the following questions:
a. Does your network use a client-server or peer-to-peer model?
b. What is the topology of your network?
c. If the lights on the switch ports were not lit or blinking, what is the best theory of
probable cause? At what layer of the OSI model would this theory be?
As you work your way through this book, you will continue to build your small network and its resources.

A911 dispatcher is the sole sender of messages to all police officers. while on patrol, officers communicate with the dispatcher who, in turn, relays messages to other officers. the officers do not communicate directly with one another. this illustrates a network.

Use a physical stopwatch to record the length of time it takes to run the program. calculate the difference obtained by calls to the method system. currenttimemillis() just before the start of the algorithm and just after the end of the algorithm. calculate the difference obtained by calls to the method system. currenttimemillis() at the start of the program and at the end of the program so that the elapsed time includes the display of the result. use the value returned by the method system. currenttimemillis() just after the end of the algorithm as the elapsed time.

Develop the program incrementally: a) start by reading and displaying each line of the input file to make sure you are reading the data set correctly. b) use the split string method to extract information from each line into a list. print the list to prove that this step is working correctly. d) convert the exam scores to type int and calculate the student’s average. display those items to prove this step is working correctly. e) create a tuple containing the six items for each student (name, exam scores, exam mean). display the tuples to prove this step is working correctly. (optionally, you may want to have the exam scores in a list so your tuple is (name, scores_list, f) append each tuple to a list. display the list to prove this step is working correctly. g) use the sort list method to re-order the tuples in the list. display the list to prove this step is working correctly. h) use a for statement to display the contents of the list as a table (with appropriate formatting). i) use a for statement to calculate the average of all scores on exam #1, then display the results. note that you could have calculated this average within the first loop, but we are explicitly requiring you to do this calculation by looping though your list of tuples. j) add the logic to calculate the average of all scores on exam #2, then display the results.
