Answer to Question #170135 in C for Deepika

Question

Computer Science

Write a program to control a set of 10 motors; the motors are operating under load balancing mechanism as

follows:

• Motors operate in pairs as follows: 1,10 then 2, 9 then 3,8 then 4,7 then 5,6 then repeat.

• The operating duration for each pair is 10,000 milliseconds.

• After each operating cycle, all motors must be OFF for 10,000 milliseconds then a new cycle starts.

• The operating sequence is running 24/7.

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
class MotorPair {
    public:
    int a, b;
    MotorPair(int i, int j){
        this->a = i;
        this->b = j;
    }
    void run(){
        cout<<"Motor "<<this->a<<" and "<<this->b<<" running.\n";
        Sleep(10000);
    }
};
int main(){
    MotorPair A = MotorPair(1, 10), B = MotorPair(2, 9),
    C = MotorPair(3, 8), D = MotorPair(4, 7), E = MotorPair(5, 6);


    MotorPair motors[5] = {A, B, C, D, E};


    while(true){
        for(int i = 0; i <= 4; i++){
            motors[i].run();
        }
        cout<<"All motors are currently off. Preparing a new cycle...\n";
        Sleep(10000);
    }
    return 0;
