MARINE BIOLOGY CASE STUDY
LAB - PART 2

Analysis 1. By running the programming with a fish.dat file containing the information for a 2 x 2 tank size, and changing the starting positions for fish A, B, and C, according to the problem, I was able to evaluate the random sequence of steps taken by each fish. The fish move in sequence of A, B, and then C. Then they move according to open slots. If a fish is covered on both sides by another fish, it is unable to move and, therefore, stays in that exact position.

Analysis 2. The following is a diagram of what we predicted for the outcome of the default configuration:

A C E
_ B H
D F G

And this is a diagram of where the fish actually moved to when running the program with the current configuration:

A C E
D B H
F G _

My prediction was inaccurate because I did not move the fish in their correct order. Instead, I proceeded to move the fish in the order of whichever came closer to an open space.
