Computer Science Question

Instructions:Answer the attached FINAL PROJECT questions, as a proper APA formatted essay (not as a high school worksheet where you simply post a screenshot, and provide a brief blurb or answer) and submit as a single attachment. Use the Sample Assignment (attached in Assignment 1) as the deliverable expectation.
