Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
A programmer can influence a function’s output by providing input parameters. To understand this, it is important to first know the differences and similarities between a parameter and an argument.
In your own words, define a parameter. Define an argument. How are they related to one another? How are they different?
Recall the PrintPizzaArea main function from below. What were the arguments for the PrintPizzaArea? What was the parameter for this function?
A programmer can influence a function’s behavior via an input. 
A parameter is a function input specified in a function definition. Ex: A pizza area function might have diameter as an input. 
An argument is a value provided to a function’s parameter during a function call. Ex: A pizza area function might be called as PrintPizzaArea(12.0) or as PrintPizzaArea(16.0). 
A parameter is like a variable declaration. Upon a call, the parameter’s memory location is allocated, and the parameter is assigned with the argument’s value. Upon return, the parameter is deleted from memory. 
An argument may be an expression, like 12.0, x, or x * 1.5.
Captions
pizzaDiameter is a function parameter, for which an argument will be passed when the function is called.
The function call jumps execution to the function’s statements, passing 12.0 to the function’s pizzaDiameter parameter. 
The next function call passes 16.0 to the function’s pizzaDiameter parameter, which results in a different pizza area.

 
chose a actual hospital and explain why uncompensated care (UC) is such a large problem for this type of facility.
Why do some experts worry that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may not mitigate the problem of UC at these facilities?

OR
Ch 5: Personality and Values
Find one library database published article or online article from within the current year. The topic should be on a topic that interest you from one of this week’s assigned chapters from Robbins and Judge or Northouse. I prefer that you use the library database because it is the most reliable source. While not as strong, Google Scholar and Google are also useful places to search for current articles. You should upload a PDF of the main initial posting article that you will be 
Connect the article to the chapter and explain how it extends one of the concepts in chapter 4 or ch5
You should write a “minimum” of 250 words per post and your contributions should extend the textbook. In other words, you should always have additional research beyond the textbook. Just citing the textbook in an initial posting or a response will elicit minimal points.

1) Branching, also refer to as conditional branching, is a type of flow control statements in software development which is used for decision making. That is, it provides programming a construct to conditionally change the flow of execution in a block of code.
Our lesson this week showed us how to use if statement, if-else statement, and if-elseif statement to dictate which code should be executed. Later in our software development pursue, you will encounter additional conditional branching construct available in different programming languages that can add to your tool. For example, Java and C# languages provide switch case statement enables us to select which one of a multiple block of codes to execute by matching pattern of an expression:
Switch (expression)
{
               Case expression_value1:
Statement 1
               Break;
               Case expression_value2:
Statement 2
               Break;
Case expression_value3:
Statement 3
               Break;
               Default:
2) When constructing this discount for twenty percent to people who are sixty-five years or older it is important to understand the branching construct. Being able to acknowledge that this is a code that will need to distinguish between someone who is sixty-five and below. If I was to write this code I would start by stating the hotel rate. After I have written the hotel rate I would include a transaction to ask for the users age. Once the user has input their age I would write the transaction to allow someone who is over the sixty-five year age requirement to get the twenty percent discount. If they are not sixty-five years of age the code would would output the regular hotel rate, however if the user is over sixty-five the output would add in the discount then give the hotel rate. The code that would need to be written would need to look something like this:
HotelRate = 180
UserAge = Get next input
UserAge > 65
(True) HotelRate – 20
(False) HotelRate
(True) Put “Your rate: ” to output
(False) Put HotelRate to output

create a quality management plan. To do this, you will:
Identify various aspects of a quality management plan in a healthcare organization.
Apply various processes and tools to enhance quality in a healthcare setting. Seek additional resources from http://www.leanproduction.com/index.html.
Identify workflow processes in a healthcare setting.
Identify quality parameters in a healthcare setting.
Examine the effectiveness of a quality management plan in a given healthcare setting.
The project is modeled on the Shewhart Cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act). You will modify the Shewhart Cycle to make it applicable to your selected healthcare service or program.
Seek additional resources that will help you understand the process being studied as well as planning and quality improvement in general. You can visit the following link for more details on a quality process improvement plan: www.goleansixsigma.com
Click Resources and then select Lean Six Sigma Tools. Review the steps in sequence; they provide direction to a quality process improvement plan. While you do not need to use the steps in sequence, they provide direction, as given below:
Define: This step describes the importance of the problem within the organization.
Measure: This step relates to the impact of the current condition and target goals for improvement.
Analyze: This step relates to understanding work flow mapping and the value stream as well as understanding root cause analysis (RCA).
Improve: This step identifies improvements to consider in the implementation of change.
Control: This step is about sustainability of change.
Tasks:
Complete a part of the Plan step of the cycle.
Describe the environment, the organization, and the department or program within the organization that is the basis for your project. Describe the selected healthcare setting, specifically its service, staff, equipment, and patients. Identify and describe the scope and nature of the problem.
Assess the environment using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. Interview some stakeholders, such as managers, staff, or customers. Use the interview information to conduct the SWOT analysis. You may also summarize or quote any important or interesting information gathered during the interview.
Select one of the weaknesses determined by the SWOT analysis to create a plan for improvement.

Northouse Chapter #4 Case Study Questions
There are three case studies at the end of each chapter. You must complete five questions from these cases.
For example, if the chapter has 8 or 9 questions between the three case studies. You are only expected to answer five of the questions. You should aim for at least 50 words per answer, but that is the minimum. The more research and detail the better.
The words “Case # , question #” and the prompt should be in the section header. 
Better answers will respond appropriately to the question using concepts from the chapter, up to date outside sources (such as from the library database {2022} and/or 2022 internet sources and even better 2023 sources) and details from the case.
You should upload a Word document that is an APA formatted paper with a properly formatted title page and reference page.
