Well nobody was able to help me in the intermediate section, so I thought I would give the advanced section a shot, I am stuck, and really dont know what to do past this point.

Ok I am having trouble with an assignment I am doing for my class.
The Assignment is as follows:


Compare the performance of a 4-computer network in the following situations:

- First Come First Serve (the first computer to have a message available gets complete control of the network until transmission is done).

- The network uses Time Division Multiplexing with computers taking turns with one packet (10 Kb) being sent every time.

- The same as the situation before except that computers with nothing to send forfeit their turns.

Turn in a report (with a cover page) comparing the performance of the network in all 3 situations. Also turn in any code used to generate the report or create the simulation. Calculate the average wait time for all messages.


Rules:

- In each of the three situations 100 random-sized messages need to be sent. The size will vary between 10 K and 15 MB (in increments of 10 K).

- The transfer rate is 96 K/ sec.

The part I am have trouble with is step two: - The network uses Time Division Multiplexing with computers taking turns with one packet (10 Kb) being sent every time.


I can not figure out how to divide it up sending 10Kb at a time, and then giving the total time to send all four messages. Anyone able to help me out?

This is the code I have so far:

import java.util.Random;

public class Trial
{
public Random RNG;
public float time;
public float transfer;

public Trial()
{
RNG = new Random();
transfer = 96000;
}

public void GenerateData()
{
for(int i = 1; i < 101; i++){
int GenerateComputer = RNG.nextInt(4);
long DataSize = RNG.nextInt(1536001);
System.out.println("-Computer " + (GenerateComputer + 1) + " sends " + (DataSize * 10) + " bits of data.");
time = ((DataSize * 10) / (transfer));
System.out.println("The total time to transfer the file took " + time + " seconds at 96k/sec.");
System.out.println("===================================================================");
}
}

But the thing is that I don't know how to write it. He is the type that as long as we can find a solution he doesn't care where we get it from.

It is an entry level computer programming class using Java, but our teacher apparently thinks we understand more complex/difficult things than we actually do. I just really need a good grade in this class, which is why i am trying so hard to find a solution, the problem is finding one, once i find one, i can generally figure it out myself and understand it, but the problem is getting to that point.

i dont have anything on this one yet, i have spent so much time getting the others together, and this is my last one. which is why i turned to my last resort, online forums. I understand the concept behind it, i just dont understand how to write the actual code, like i know i will probably have to use a loop, having every 4th year add and extra day because of leap years, and then the whole JDate and GDate thing, but other than that, I am stumped.

actually it is in preparation for a test, and he said there would be something like that on the test, so i am trying to figure out how to do it. i dont have a very good teacher, because he teaches us practically nothing. I basically just need this for reference purposes.

I need to know how to prompt the user for their birth date and calculate and display how many days old they are. Can anyone help me out, because i am completely stuck, thanks in advance
