Nifty Assignments Assignment We wish to simulate a bank with a "feeder" line and n tellers. A new customer arrives every a minutes. The length of time needed to service a customer varies randomly from 2 to m minutes. Over the course of t minutes, we want to know the following: Average wait in the system Average length of the "feeder" queue Longest wait required Number of customers served Then we discuss what classes might be called for, what those classes might do, and so on. I usually then supply some partly written classes. Teacher's Comment If memory serves, I think I adapted this from some version of Mike Clancy's Oh, Pascal! long ago.
