Auto-graded programming assignments have numerous advantages, but have some challenges too. Students commonly struggle with realizing that example input / output provided in an assignment's specification interleaves input and output, but the program should only output the output parts. If a program should double its input, an instructor might provide this example:

Simon says is a memory game where "simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (r, g, b, y) and the user must repeat the sequence. create a for loop that compares the two strings. for each match, add one point to user_score. upon a mismatch, end the game. sample output with inputs: 'rrgbryybgy' 'rrgbbrybgy'

Suppose you are an ad-serving company and you maintain a log of cookie data for ads you serve to the web pages for a particular vendor (say amazon). a. how can you use this data to determine which are the best ads? b. how can you use this data to determine which are the best ad formats? c. how could you records of past ads and ad clicks to determine which ads to send to a given ip address? d. how could you use this data to determine how well the technique you used in your answer to part c was working? e. how could you use this data to determine that a given ip address is used by more than one person? f. how does having this data give you a competitive advantage vis-à-vis other ad-serving companies?

The program below has been generalized to read a user's input value for hourlywage. run the program. notice the user's input value of 10 is used. modify that input value, and run again. generalize the program to get user input values for workhoursperweek and workweeksperyear (change those variables' initializations to 0). run the program. monthsperyear will never change, so define that variable as final. use the standard for naming final variables. ex: final int max_length
