Fuel Consumption

Scenario A (Sort and Search Algorithm).

The company has received a number of issues from the beta testers of their latest administration software released in early January 2018, the testers have been stress testing the system and outlined that when adding in data files contain statistics the program is slowing and making it difficult to import large amounts of data.

You have been tasked with creating an application which can read in large amounts of data maximum 1 million entries contained within an CSV file.

The software should sort the data into ascending order and displayed for users to analyse. Then allow for the data to be searched to look for specific data entries if required.

This software algorithm designed and developed needs to be explained by you. This will aid the programmers within the company to analyse your solution to provide a patch for their application recently released.

Scenario B (Fuel efficiency calculator).

According to studies backed by the department of energy, the average car will be at its advertised MPG at 55 mph. But as the speed increases:

– 3% less efficient at 60 mph

– 8% less efficient at 65 mph

– 17% less efficient at 70 mph

– 23% less efficient at 75 mph

– 28% less efficient at 80 mph.

Write a program that calculates the fuel consumption of a car at these speeds. The user should be able to input the advertised fuel efficiency in Miles Per Gallon and the program should display fuel efficiency of the car at the speeds indicated above. The Program should allow for the % less efficiency to be increased or decreased for the mile per hour (mph) as well, if required by the user.
