What additional or alternative concepts are key to the worldviews of these four authors?

3- Do either Rovelli or de Haro make compelling cases for the importance to progress in physics of a philosophy of physics? If they succeed in doing so, how do they succeed? If they fail, why do they fail?

Dynamic Memory

May 9, 2020 Leave a comment Electrical Engineering, Undergraduate

This assignment will re-implement the social network database(can be provided) with dynamic memory and saving into files. Heres the specification for the application:
a) User entries should be kept in a linked (ordered alphabetically by name) list with memory allocated when a new student is introduced by the user. Memory should be deallocated when a user is removed. Storage of user’s friends can still be kept in arrays
b) The Menu presented to the user should be:
      1) Introduce  user
      2) Introduce relationship/friendship
      3) Remove user
      4) Print user information
      5) Print report for all users (all information)
      6) Save to file
      7) Retrieve data from file
      8) Exit
c) Your code should contain a insert and remove function. Ideally these will receive a pointer to pointer to the head of the list (but you can keep the head of the list as a global variable)
d) You should also implement a version of insert and remove functions that use balanced binary trees. This will be worth 20% of you final mark. The user should be able to choose the data structure directly from the command line when it starts the program. This should use the argc/argv arguments to main()

Sports

First 2 pages – Watch Schooled: The Price of College Sports. This video discusses, in great detail, the tremendous growth of the NCAA. You will get a glimpse of the history of the NCAA. However (and more importantly), you will see how the NCAA grew into a multibillion business all while exploiting the student-athlete.

After watching, write a 2 page paper reviewing the video. In this video review, you will want you to discuss material that youve read in the text chapters and how it ties into to content you just watched. Some items that you can discuss include history of the NCAA, development of the term student-athlete the NCAA as a multibillion dollar business, etc.

As part of this paper, I also want you to provide an update to the OBannon vs. NCAA suit. You will need to research outside material for this update. Make sure to cite your references. Feel free to use your favorite streaming service to watch the video. For example, it is also available on Netflix.

Page 3 – For this discussion board assignment, I would like you to focus on the current hot topic, pay for play.

For part one of this assignment, discuss your argument for either paying college athletes a stipend to compete or to keep things status quo with the student-athlete not receiving additional benefits beyond their current scholarships.

For the second part for this assignment, you will need to comment on at least 2 of your classmates posts. Provide your perspective to their answers regarding pay for play. For the assignment, you may need to reference outside sources to back up your post and responses. Please make sure to properly cite your references
