In the sport of diving, seven judges award a score between 0 and 10, where each score may be a floating-point value. the highest and lowest scores are thrown out and the remaining scores are added together. the sum is then multiplied by the degree of difficulty for that dive. the degree of difficulty ranges from 1.2 to 3.8 points. the total is then multiplied by 0.6 to determine the diver’s score. write a computer program that inputs a degree of difficulty and seven judges’ scores and outputs the overall score for that dive. the program should ensure that all inputs are within the allowable data ranges.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

If an improvement creates no significant change in a product’s performance, then it is a(n) ? a0 design improvement. (there are no answer choices)
