Ism3230 Individual Assignment 1 Working With Variables And Expressio

You are working for an ice cream manufacturer and distributor for high-end super-creamy ice cream. The seasonal sales division of your company supplies branded ice cream, including branded cones with branded paper wrappers, for seasonal outlets, including resorts, seasonal tourist areas (e.g., beaches and boardwalks), county and state fairs, and other short-season outlets. During the winter months, the company works to prepare for the surge season, including planning for ice cream manufacturing and ordering custom-printed cones. This planning is based on forecasting data for the coming summer season. You have been asked to use forecasting models developed by your company’s data analytics department, and find the actual manufacturing needs for ice cream and cones for various seasonal outlets, together with the number of freezer boxes that would be needed to process the ice cream.

Taking into account prior sales data and site surveys, the data analytics department developed a formula that estimates the demand for ice cream in gallons, given input values for the variables defined below: gallons = 15 + 0.013438 temp + 0.046875 client (1 + 0.75 weekend) where gallons is the predicted demand of ice cream in U.S. gallons temp is the daily average temperature in degrees Fahrenheit client is the estimated number of customers per day weekend is either 0 for a weekday or 1 for a weekend The ice cream is sold by the scoop in cones, with 2 scoops per cone. There are 32 scoops in a gallon. The ice cream is made in freezer containers with the capacity of 4 gallons each. For any given outlet on any given day, your code needs to be able to compute how many gallons of ice cream will be needed, how many gallons will be made by filling the freezing containers fully, how many freezer containers will be filled completely and how much of the predicted demand could not be filled because it does not fill a complete freezing container.

You also need to calculate how many cones need to be available for sale for the day in question, based on the input values.

Instructions: 1. Prompt the user to enter three numbers: temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, number of clients, and whether the prediction is for a weekday (0) or weekend (1). Use the Scanner class for input and store the client count and weekend values in integer variables, store the temperature in a double. 2. Calculate the demand in gallons, given the formula, and store the result in a double variable. 3. Create a named constant for the capacity of a freezer container of 4 gallons per container and use it to get the number of freezer containers needed and store the result in a double. Since the freezer containers must be a whole number, cast the previous result into an integer and store the number of required containers in a new variable of type int. 4. Use the modulus operator to calculate the amount of demand that does not fit into the freezing containers. Store the result in a double variable. 5. Calculate the amount of ice cream that will be produced by completely filling the required number of freezing containers and store it in a variable. Use this amount to calculate the number of cones. 6. Create a named constant for the number of scoops per gallon (32) and use it to get the amount of produced ice cream scoops and store it in an integer variable. 7. Create a named constant for the number of scoops per cone (2) and use it to calculate the number of cones needed to sell the produced ice cream. Store the number of cones in an integer variable. 8. Print to screen the following information: o temperature in degrees F o number of clients o weekend multiplier o expected demand in gallons o required number of freezer containers that can be filled completely o amount of demand that cannot be produced o amount of produced ice cream in gallons o number cones that are needed for produced ice cream 9. Check your output carefully to ensure that it matches the sample output.

Paper For Above Instructions

In the ice cream manufacturing industry, understanding product demand is vital for efficient operations. The demand for ice cream can fluctuate due to various factors, including temperature and the number of customers. This paper will cover how to develop a program that accurately forecasts the number of gallons of ice cream needed based on predetermined input variables: temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, estimated number of customers, and whether the day is a weekday or weekend. The process will involve a series of calculations using the formula provided and taking into consideration the capacities of freezer containers and the number of cones required for serving ice cream.

To initiate the process, the program will ask the user to input the three crucial parameters: the daily average temperature, the estimated number of clients, and the day type (weekend or weekday). The user input will be handled using the Scanner class. The temperature will be captured as a double, whereas the values for the number of clients and the type of day will be stored as integers. This distinction is essential, as temperatures are decimal values while client counts and type of day are whole numbers.

The demand for ice cream is then calculated using the provided formula:

 gallons = 15 + 0.013438  temp + 0.046875  client  (1 + 0.75  weekend)

Where temp is the daily temperature, client is the estimated number of customers, and weekend indicates whether it is a weekend day (1) or not (0). The resulting value will be stored in a double variable named demandGallons.

Next, a named constant will be created for the capacity of one freezer container, set at 4 gallons. The program will calculate the number of freezer containers needed by dividing the demandGallons by the container capacity. Since the number of containers must be expressed as a whole number, this value will be converted into an integer using casting. It will be stored in an integer variable containersNeeded.

The leftover demand that does not fit into a complete freezer container will then be calculated using the modulus operator. This value reflects how much demand cannot be met solely through full containers and is stored in the variable leftoverDemand.

Following this, the program will calculate how much ice cream can be produced based on full containers filled. This total will be acquired by multiplying the number of containers filled by the capacity of each container. This calculated value will also be expressed in gallons and stored in producedGallons.

To satisfy the demand for cones, additional calculations are needed. The total number of scoops produced can be determined by multiplying the produced gallons by the constant defining scoops per gallon (32). This value gives us the total scoops available for sale.

Furthermore, given that each cone holds 2 scoops of ice cream, the total number of cones required can be computed by dividing the total scoops calculated by 2. This resulting outcome will be stored in an integer variable conesNeeded.

Once all calculations have been completed, the program will output the required information in a formatted manner. This output will present the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, number of clients, weekend multiplier, expected demand in gallons, number of freezer containers that can be filled completely, and ice cream that cannot be produced due to limitations. The final output will additionally state the total produced ice cream in gallons alongside the number of cones necessary for meeting the forecasted demand.

Overall, these outcomes provide insight into operational needs while ensuring that the ice cream manufacturer can adequately prepare for anticipated sales, making for effective business planning and enhanced customer satisfaction.
