The following are sample programs you will be working on: Create a Ruby1.9, or Python3, or C++ program to...... 1) Compute the number of nurses that work at the Mayo Clinic, or which Zip code has the most number of doctors, or which Zip code has the most number of hospitals. The data can be found here -> http://nppesdata.cms.hhs.gov/cms_NPI_files.html And here -> http://state.tn.us/tenncare/forms/taxonomycrosswalk.pdf 2) You are standing at a lake and you have a three gallon jug and a five gallon jug - No marks on either one, The goal is to fill the five gallon jug with four gallons of water. How is this accomplished? No, the challenge is just NOT to come up with a solution but write a program that will come up with a solution. And just printing the solution that came out of your head does not cut it. 3) Develop a program to do a comparison of the monthly NPI data files – see 2) above. Starting with the March 2010 file and the April 2010 file the program should produced a report to show the difference. The report should show the number of records deleted, the number of records changed, and the number of records added. 4) Please develop a Ruby 1.9 program to validate the NPI field.
