gold Here is some eTCL starter code for combined availability in calculator shell.

A hospital carries three ambulances on a 24 hour basis. Ambulance a has an availability of 0.8 and a use of availability of 0.6, giving 24*.8*0.6, 11.52 hours. Ambulance b has an availability of 0.8 and a use of availability of .7, giving 24*0.8*0.7, 13.44 hours. Ambulance c has an availability of 0.8 and a use of availability of 0.5, giving 24*0.8*0.5, 9.6 hours. The combined use for the three ambulances is a)11.52 + b)13.44 + c)9.6 = 34.56 total hours.



Pseudocode Section

       # using pseudocode 
       # possible problem instances,  
      initialize algorithm_result = 1.
      check algorithm 
      f(solution) =? initial product
      check_sum = a+b+c+d+e = original real estate
      set answers and printout with resulting values 
      pseudocode: need test cases > small,medium, giant 
      pseudocode: need testcases within range of expected operation.
      pseudocode: are there any cases too small or large to be solved?

Testcases Section

In planning any software, it is advisable to gather a number of testcases to check the results of the program. The math for the testcases can be checked by pasting statements in the TCL console. Aside from the TCL calculator display, when one presses the report button on the calculator, one will have console show access to the capacity functions (subroutines).

Pushbutton Operation

For the push buttons, the recommended procedure is push testcase and fill frame, change first three entries etc, push solve, and then push report. Report allows copy and paste from console.

For testcases in a computer session, the eTCL calculator increments a new testcase number internally, eg. TC(1), TC(2) , TC(3) , TC(N). The testcase number is internal to the calculator and will not be printed until the report button is pushed for the current result numbers. The current result numbers will be cleared on the next solve button. The command { calculate; reportx } or { calculate ; reportx; clearx } can be added or changed to report automatically. Another wrinkle would be to print out the current text, delimiters, and numbers in a TCL wiki style table as

  puts " %| testcase $testcase_number | value| units |comment |%"
  puts " &| volume| $volume| cubic meters |based on length $side1 and width $side2   |&"
