All other calls can be one of two kinds. First kind are classified as serious. They constitute 15% of the non-false alarm calls and take 25sec to 5 minutes to complete. The remaining call take 20sec to 10 minutes to complete. Assume that there are very large number of available ambulance, and that any number can be on call at any time. Write a program that would simulate the system’s 500 call to be completed. Ok so i need to loop numbers from 1 -500 for the ambulance then set a three type of calls -> False Alarm Calls (it takes 12sec to 2 minutes to process the calls) -> Non-False Alarm Calls (it takes 25sec to 5 minutes to process the calls) -> Normal Calls (it takes 20sec to 10 minutes) after getting a call i need to add the dispatch rate of an ambulance for 15sec to 10minutes Example i'll put it in a Table: Ambulance # / Time(Call Received)/Time(Process Request)/Call Type/Time Dispatch / Total Time em i correct sir? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
