consuming. Once these elements of a computer program are working correctly‚ it makes sense to use the code as often as practical. Code reusability has become a valuable part of adding efficiency to computer programming. Write a 2- to 3-page paper that compares and contrasts procedural programming modules and objects. In your paper‚ consider the following: • Reusability • Security in terms of hiding code • Passing of data versus data encapsulation • How object-oriented methods are similar to

for each acre of wheat and $3‚000 for each acre of barley‚ then the total profit the farmer can earn is 5000*x + 3000*y. let p = total profit that can be earned. your equation for profit becomes: p = 5000x + 3000y that’s your objective function. it’s what you want to maximize the constraints are: number of acres has to be greater than or equal to 0. number of acres has to be less than or equal to 8. amount of pesticide has to be less than or equal to 10. your constraint equations are: x >= 0
