Suppose you have a new smartphone and are excited about the range of apps available for it. You read about a really interesting new game that is available for your phone. You do a quick Web search for it and see that a version is available from one of the free marketplaces. When you download and start to install this app, you are asked to approve the access permissions granted to it. You see that it wants permission to “Send SMS messages” and to “Access your address-book”. Should you be suspicious that a game wants these types of permissions? What threat might the app pose to your smartphone, should you grant these permissions and proceed to install it? What types of malware might it be?

For this project, we are going to create an app that keeps an eye on the Bitcoin price - via the BitMex exchange. The app will contact the exchange every two seconds to obtain the latest Bitcoin price. It must compare the latest Bitcoin price with the previously obtained price (obtained two seconds before) and display it in a specific colour, depending on whether the price moved up, down or stayed unchanged. The app must also sound an alarm if the price moves above or below any of the user-entered price levels. During each week, we will do a predetermined section of the required work – called a Sprint in Agile Development (a specific project management style used extensively in many IT development projects). In this first sprint, we will enable the user to add and remove price levels to the levelsList class PriceChecker():# Constructor def __init__(self):self.levelsList = [] # Properties # A property is defined like a method, but you use it in your # code like a variable (no…
You are making a ride-sharing app for “CHOLOJAI”. You are now modeling various states of the app from requesting the ride to completing the trip. Initially, when you request a ride the app searches for nearby rides within 1000m. If no ride is found then it keeps on searching. If there is a ride available then the rider gets a request. If the rider accepts then the customer gets a notification that a rider is found and the customer now waits for pickup. In the meantime, if the trip is canceled by the rider the app starts searching for the rider again but if it is canceled by the customer then it checks if the customer has canceled the ride within 10minutes. If so, then the customer does not need to pay any fine, and the ride searching is terminated. If not, the customer will be fined a certain amount and notified. If the trip is started that means the customer is on board and moving towards the destination. After the destination is reached, the fare is calculated and the user is…

We are developing a project using Turtlebot and Raspberry pi 3. Here's the idea: To develop a TurtleBot3 robot with an Android app that allows users to remotely control and incorporate collision avoidance logic using LIDAR data. The app will provide a user-friendly interface to send commands for controlling the robot's movements, such as forward, backward, turn left, and turn right, through virtual buttons or a joystick. Here's the part I have to develop: Motor Control: Remote Control Node: This node is responsible for receiving user inputs from the Android app, translating them into motor control commands, and publishing them on a specific ROS topic. It allows users to remotely control the TurtleBot3's movements. Please write the code for my part
