Document Summary

There is at least some sort of relationship between gdp per capital and environments d tropical. Relationship isn"t that strong, but there is some relationship presen esent. Malaria, dengue fever, river blindness, sleeping sickness, etc. Malaria is a highly persistent cause of death, loss of productivity, et. Lower yields than soil in temperate climate (by 30-40%) Domestication of large animals, making agriculture more productiv tive. Water transport is much cheaper than land transport - giving europ rope an advantage. Population on an ocean cost or near a river: 89% vs. 21% Tropical countries can overcome diseases with good institutions/policies. Singapore had the benefit of being close to two bodies of water, access to trade routes etc. , giving it the ability to creature strong in policies, preventing widespread tropical disease es er, giving them easy institutions and. Innovation can compensate for the poor quality of soil.

9. Finally, you should write a program MontrealMaps which will suggest a path to go along the metro to get from one place to another. The only required method for MontrealMaps is a main method but of course you are allowed to write others. Your program should do the following. For any library methods that you use, make sure that you are properly importing things and handling any exceptions they may throw. (10 points) • Using an appropriate library method, you should create a Subway System object. If this method fails to initialize, you should print the message Error, not enough funding. • Use a Scanner and print statements to read the current x and y position of the user. • Use a Scanner and print statements to read the x and y position that the user wants to go to. . Find the nearest Metro Station to both the start position of the user and his final destination. • If the 2 metro stations have the same name (i.e. are the same metro station) then print It is fastest to walk there. • Otherwise, call the method findPath from the previous part to find a path from these 2 metro stations. . If the method returns null, then print Sorry, there is no path on the metro, you'll have to walk • Otherwise, print the path using the metro using the method printPath defined in the MapUtilities class in the appendix.

1.Create a list that contains 10 successive integers starting with the value in the variable start. For example, if start is 7, the resulting list should be [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. Store the list in a variable named my_list. Assume that the value of start has already been set.

2.Create a list that is made up of the first half of the elements of a list called original_list. Store the new list in a variable called half_list. Assume that the original list has already been initialized and contains an even number of elements.

3. Write a predicate function called same_ends that accepts a list of integers and an integer (n) as arguments. Return True if the first n numbers in the list are the same as the last n numbers in the list, and False otherwise. For example, if the list was [1, 2, 3, 4, 99, 1, 2, 3, 4], the function would return True if n is 4 and False if n is 3. Assume that n is between 1 and the length of the list, inclusive.

4.Write a function called highest_values that accepts as arguments a list of numeric values and a single integer (n). The function should return a list made up of the largest n values from the argument list in order from lowest to highest. For example, if the argument list is [46, 82, 25, 61, 70, 33, 54] and n is 3, the return value should be [61, 70, 82]. Assume that the argument list contains at least n elements.

5.Assume that a list of integers stored in a variable named original contains exactly two elements that are zero. Write code that creates a separate list that contains the elements from original that are between the two zeros. Do not include the zeros in the new list. Store the list in a variable named between_zeros.

6. Write a function called price_range that accepts a list of floating-point numbers representing prices as an argument and returns the the difference between the highest price and the lowest price. Do NOT use the built-in functions max or min in your solution. Assume that all prices are positive values and that none of them exceed 10,000.00.

7. Write a function called count_vowels that accepts a string argument that represents a word and returns the number of vowels that are in the word. The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U (ignore the 'sometimes Y' rule). Count both uppercase and lowercase vowels.

Assume that the variable table holds a two-dimensional list of integers. Write code that computes the sum of all elements in the table, assigning the result to the variable table_sum.
