Question: Assume you are at the airport, waiting for the security check. There is one line (which is a FIFO queue), and 5 security check gates. Each person reaching in front of the queue is checked by the first available security gate.
Each security check gate has its pace of handling passengers, as follows: gate #1, 1 person/minute, gates #2 and #3, 2 persons/minute, and gates #4 and #5, 3 persons/minute.
Assume that initially there are 20 people in the line and each minute other 10 people are coming to the line.
Show the evolution of the line in the first 10 minutes. For this, use a queue to model the line, add the initial passengers (give them names Passenger1, Passenger2, ..., Passenger20), and start distributing them to security check gates every minute. In each minute (for 10 minutes), show the status as follows:
-Content of the line (the queue) at the beginning, and at end of the given minute (remember that each minute other 10 passengers enter the line);
-Content (that is people checked) of each of the 5 security check gates during the given minute.
The status should be displayed in the output window of the IDE.
I'm not sure how to solve the question. Any assistance would be appreciated.
