divide the input array into thirds (rather than halves), recursively sort each third, and finally combine the results using a three-way Merge subroutine. What is the running time of this algorithm as a function of the length n of the input array, ignoring constant factors and lower-order terms

Answer:

1. It is so important for all application builders to always check data received from unknown sources before using that data. This is because of the Security related reasons and vulnerabilities .For example the data received might contain harmful hidden viruses.  Web applications are accessed by internet and these are the most vulnerable to attacks by hacker or intruders using harmful data containing malware. This can cause security breaches due to the security flaws or bugs in Web applications. So to overcome such security risks which can cause damage in the Web applications, data from unknown sources should be checked.

Explanation:

2. When the Website is being used and running, there is a room for possible glitches or other bugs and issues. To understand, handle and address  issues successfully, the website operators carefully and consistently patch and configure their systems. The administrators collect the user data which enables them to have enough data in order to make the requisite alterations or improvements in the website. This also helps to improve the website performance. The patching and configuring of systems fix problems in the website which reduces the risk of website damage and the website works smoothly this way. Moreover it identifies vulnerabilities, solve configuration issues and upgrades in website features provide additional capabilities to the website.

Answer:

None of them is correct, but it seems one of the option has missing words.

The exact definition is, MySQL is a database management system.

Explanation:

Agile is not a programming language, it is a software development methodology.

HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language"

Java and JavaScript are different languages.

Actually,  MySQL is a database management system. It is used to deal with the relational databases. It uses SQL (Structured Query Language).

Answer:

The programming language is not stated. However, I'll answer this question using Python programming language.

The program uses no comments; find explanation below

i = 0

while not (i == 4):

     print("Sample Run: #"+str(i+1))

     Major = input("Major: ")

     GPA = float(input("GPA: "))

     if not (Major.upper() == "SWE" or Major.upper() == "IT" or Major.upper() == "CGDD" or Major.upper() == "CS"):

           if GPA >= 3.50:

                 print("Great GPA, but apply using the regular application")

           else:

                 print("Talk to one of our advisors about whether grad school is for you")

     if (Major.upper() == "SWE" or Major.upper() == "IT" or Major.upper() == "CGDD" or Major.upper() == "CS"):

           if GPA >= 3.50:

                 print("You can FastTrack.")

           else:

                 print("Correct major, but GPA needs to be higher.")

     i = i + 1

Explanation:

Line 1 of the program initializes the sample run to 0

Line 2 checks if sample run is up to 4;

If yes, the program stops execution else, it's continues execution on the next line

Line 3 displays the current sample run

Line 4 and 5 prompts user for Major and GPA respectively

Line 6 to 10 checks is major is not one of CS, SWE, IT, and CGDD.

If major is not one of those 4 and GPA is at least 3.5, the system displays "Great GPA, but apply using the regular application"

If major is not one of those 4 and GPA is less than 3.5, the system displays "Talk to one of our advisors about whether grad school is for you"

Line 11 to 15 checks is major is one of CS, SWE, IT, and CGDD.

If major is one of those 4 and GPA is at least 3.5, the system displays "You can Fastrack"

If major is one of those 4 and GPA is less than 3.5, the system displays "Correct major, but GPA needs to be higher."

The last line of the program iterates to the next sample run

Answer:

NAT provides some security but allows a firm to have more internal IP addresses

Explanation:

NAT ( network address translation) this is a process where a  network system usually a firewall  assigns a public IP address to an internal computer used in a private network. it limits the number of public IP address a company operating a private network for its computer can have and this is very economical also limits the exposure of the company's private network of computers. the computers can access information within the private network using multiple IP addresses but it is safer to access external information using one public IP address

Answer:

Option (d) is the correct answer to this question.  

Explanation:

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

Answer:

The programming language is not stated; However this program will be written using Python programming language

Comments are not used; See Explanation Section for line by line explanation of the code

hours = float(input("Hours: "))

rate = float(input("Rate per hour: "))

pay = hours * rate

print(pay)

Explanation:

The first line of the code prompts the user for hour.

The input is converted from string to float

hours = float(input("Hours: "))

The next line prompts the user for hour.

It also converts input from string to float

rate = float(input("Rate per hour: "))

Pay is calculated by multiplying hours by rate; This is implemented using the next line

pay = hours * rate

The calculated value of pay is displayed using the next line

print(pay)

When the program is tested by the given parameters in the question

hours = 35

rate = 2.75

The printed value of pay is 96.25

Question:

Two arrays are given:  

String apples[] = {"HoneyCrisp", "DeliciousRed", "Gala", "McIntosh",  "GrannySmith"};

double prices[] = {4.50, 3.10, 2.45, 1.50, 1.20};

Write a method that finds the cheapest name of apples, and returns back a String stating what the apple name is and how much it costs. The method should take two arrays as two parameters (you do not need to make a two dimensional array out of these arrays).

Answer:

The complete java code along with the output is prrovided below.

Java Code:

public class ApplesCheap

{

   public static String Cheapest(String apples[], double prices[])

 {

       int temp = 0;

       for (int i = 0; i < apples.length; i++)

    {

         if (prices[i] < prices[temp])

          {

               temp = i;

           }

       }

       return apples[temp];

   }

public static void main(String[] args)

{

// define the array of apple names and their prices

  String apples[] = {"HoneyCrisp", "DeliciousRed", "Gala", "McIntosh", "GrannySmith"};

  double prices[] = {4.50, 3.10, 2.45, 1.50, 1.20};

// print the cheapest apple by calling the function Cheapest

  System.out.println("The cheapest apple is: " + Cheapest(apples, prices));

   }

}

Output:

The cheapest apple is: GrannySmith

Answer:

The effective memory access time  = 293.5 nanoseconds.

Explanation:

Given that:

TLB hit ratio = 90%

= 90/100

= 0.9

Require time to access TLB = 15 nanoseconds &

Time to access main Memory = 85 nanoseconds

The objective is to estimate the effective memory access time in nanoseconds for this system .

The effective memory access time  = [TLB Hit ratio (  main memory  access time + required time to access TLB) + ( 2 × main memory  access time) + required time to access TLB) × (2 - TLB hit ratio)]

The effective memory access time = [0.9 ( 85 + 15 ) + ( 2 × (85 ) + 15) × ( 2 - 0.90)

The effective memory access time  = 293.5 nanoseconds.

C. Denial of Service

Explanation:

Denial of service error occurs when the legitimate users are unable to access the system. They are then unable to access the information contained in the system. This can also be a cyber attack on the system in which user are stopped from accessing their personal and important information and then ransom is claimed to retrieve the attack. In such case system resources and information are temporarily unavailable to the users which disrupts the services.

Answer:

b. ​ Sharing common data

c. ​ Similarities in actors

e. ​ Triggered by same events

Explanation:

When Designing Application Components the characteristics of use cases that are helpful to define component boundaries are sharing common data between the users. The second one is similarities in actors. Actors are the users which interact with the application. There should be similarities in the actors that are to be used the application. Last one is triggered by same events. Triggers are basically the events which cause the use case to begin.

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

   int grade;

   cout << "Enter student's grade: ";

   cin >> grade;

   switch (grade)  

       {

       case 100 ... 1000:

           cout << "That grade is a perfect score. Well done.";

           break;

       case 90 ... 99:

           cout << "That grade is well above average. Excellent work.";  

           break;

       case 80 ... 89:

           cout << "That grade is above average. Nice job.";  

           break;

       case 70 ... 79:

           cout << "That grade is average work.";  

           break;

       case 60 ... 69:

           cout << "That grade is not good, you should seek help!";  

           break;

       default:

           cout << "That grade is not passing.";

           break;

       }

   return 0;

}

Explanation:

*The code is in C++

First, ask the user to enter a grade

Then, check the grade to print the correct message. Since you need to check the ranges using switch statement, you need to write the minimum value, maximum value and three dots between them. For example, 70 ... 79 corresponds the range between 70 and 79 both inclusive.

Finally, print the appropriate message for each range.

Note: I assumed the maximum grade is 1000, which should more than enough for a maximum grade value, for the first case.

Answer:

Here is the JAVA program:

import java.util.Scanner;  // to get input from user

import java.util.Random;   // to generate random numbers

public class CoinFlip {  

// function for flipping a coin to make decisions

  public static String HeadsOrTails(Random rand) {

//function to return head or tail

     String flip;   // string type variable flip to return one of the heads or tails

     if ((rand.nextInt() % 2) == 0)  

// if next random generated value's mod with 2 is equal to 0

        {flip = "heads";}  // sets the value of flip to heads

     else   // when the IF condition is false

       { flip = "tails";}   // sets value of flip to tails

  return flip;    }    //return the value of flip which is one of either heads or tails

  public static void main(String[] args) {  //start of main function body

     Scanner rand= new Scanner(System.in);  // creates Scanner instance

// creates random object and seeds the program with value of 2

     Random no_gen = new Random(2);  

     int decision = rand.nextInt();   //calls nextInt() to take number of decisions

     for (int i = 0; i < decision; i++) {

// produces heads or tails output for the number of decisions needed

        System.out.println(HeadsOrTails(no_gen));       }    }    }

//prints heads or tails

Explanation:

The above program has method HeadsOrTails(Random rand) to return the heads or tails based on the condition if ((rand.nextInt() % 2) == 0) . Here nextInt() is obtains next random number from the sequence of random number generator and take the modulus of that integer value with 2. If the result of modulus is 0 then the value of flip is set to heads otherwise tails.

In the main() function, a random object is created and unique seed 2 is set. The decision variable gets the number of decisions. In the for loop the loop variable i is initialized to 0. The loop body continues to execute until the value of i exceeds the number of decisions needed. The loop body calls the HeadsOrTails(Random rand) method in order to output either heads or tails.

Answer:

s = input("Enter a string: ")

print(len(s))

print(s*10)

print(s[0])

print(s[:3])

print(s[len(s)-3:])

print(s[::-1])

if len(s) >= 7:

   print(s[6])

else:

   print("The string is not long enough")

print(s[1:len(s)-1])

print(s.upper())

print(s.replace("a", "e"))

Explanation:

*The code is in Python.

Ask the user to enter a string

Use len method to get the total number of characters

Use "*" to repeat 10 times

Use index, 0,  to get first character

Use slicing to get first three characters

Use slicing to get last three characters

Use slicing to get it in backwards

Check if the length is greater than or equal to 7. If it is, use index, 6. Otherwise, print a message.

Use slicing to remove first and last characters

Use upper method to get it in all caps

Use replace method to replace the "a" with the "e"

The program that ask the user to enter a string and print the  (a) The total number of characters in the string (b) The string repeated 10 times (c) The first character of the string (remember that string indices start at 0) (d) The first three characters of the string (e) The last three characters of the string (f) The string backwards (g) The seventh character of the string if the string is long enough and a message otherwise (h) The string with its first and last characters removed (i) The string in all caps (j) The string with every a replaced with an e

is as follows:

x = str(input("please enter a string: "))

print(len(x))

print(x*10)

print(x[0])

print(x[0:3])

print(x[-3:])

print(x[::-1])

if len(x) >= 7:

  print(x[6])

else:

  print("The string is not up to length 7")

print(x[1:-1])

print(x.upper())

print(x.replace('a', 'e'))

The first line ask the user for a string input.

Print length of the user input

Print the user input ten times.

Print the first value of the user input

print the first three string

Print the last three string

Print the reverse of the string

if the length of the user input is greater than or equals to zero, then print the 7th term of the user input.

else it will print that the string length is not up to seven.

Remove the first and the last term of the user input and print the remaining user input.

print the uppercase of the user input.

Replace a with e in the user input.

for (i = 0; i < SCORES_SIZE-1; ++i) {

bonusScores[i] += bonusScores[i+1];

}

Explanation:

In C++, the index of an array starts from 0 and ends at 1 less than the size of the array;

Using the analysis in the question, the above code (in the answer section) iterates from the index element (element at 0) to the second to the last element (element at size - 2)';

This is to ensure that the element of the array only adds itself and the next element;except for the last index which remains unchanged

The following operation is done in each iteration.

When i = 0,

bonusScores[0] = bonusScores[0] + bonusScores[0+1];

bonusScores[0] = bonusScores[0] + bonusScores[1];

bonusScores[0] = 10 + 20

bonusScores[0] = 30

When i = 1,

bonusScores[1] = bonusScores[1] + bonusScores[1+1];

bonusScores[1] = bonusScores[1] + bonusScores[2];

bonusScores[1] = 20 + 30

bonusScores[1] = 50

When i = 2,

bonusScores[2] = bonusScores[2] + bonusScores[2+1];

bonusScores[2] = bonusScores[2] + bonusScores[3];

bonusScores[2] = 30 + 40

bonusScores[2] = 70

This is where the iteration stops

Answer:

A. Insertions and deletions require less work.

C. You can take advantage of random access typically

D. You can mix and match the types of the items on the list.

Explanation:

Standard array implementation is a process in which number of items are of same type and index is restricted at a certain range. This is preferable to dynamic allocated list because it requires less work in insertion and deletions. A dynamically allocated array does not use the fixed array size declaration.

Answer:

Let f be a function

a) f(n) = n²

b) f(n) = n/2

c) f(n) = 0

Explanation:

a) f(n) = n²

This function is one-to-one function because the square of two different or distinct natural numbers cannot be equal.

Let a and b are two elements both belong to N i.e. a ∈ N and b ∈ N. Then:

                                f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a² = b² ⇒ a = b

The function f(n)= n² is not an onto function because not every natural number is a square of a natural number. This means that there is no other natural number that can be squared to result in that natural number.  For example 2 is a natural numbers but not a perfect square and also 24 is a natural number but not a perfect square.

b) f(n) = n/2

The above function example is an onto function because every natural number, lets say n is a natural number that belongs to N, is the image of 2n. For example:

                                f(2n) = [2n/2] = n

The above function is not one-to-one function because there are certain different natural numbers that have the same value or image. For example:

When the value of n=1, then    

                                   n/2 = [1/2] = [0.5] = 1

When the value of n=2 then

                                    n/2 = [2/2] = [1] = 1

c) f(n) = 0

The above function is neither one-to-one nor onto. In order to depict that a function is not one-to-one there should be two elements in N having same image and the above example is not one to one because every integer has the same image.  The above function example is also not an onto function because every positive integer is not an image of any natural number.

printf("%d",runTimes[0]);

printf("%d",runTimes[1]);

printf("%d",runTimes[2]);

Explanation:

The question requires that the first three elements of array runTimes be printed;

The first three elements are the elements at the first, second and third positions.

It should be noted the index of an array starts at 0;

So, to make reference to the first three elements, we make use of

runTimes[0], runTimes[1] and runTimes[2] respectively

Having mention the above;

It should also be noted that array is of type integers;

So, to display integers in C, we make use of "%d";

Hence, the print statement for the first three elements is

printf("%d",runTimes[0]);

printf("%d",runTimes[1]);

printf("%d",runTimes[2]);

For information to be accessed through internet access by all and sundry, it must come at little or no cost, which is what is currently obtainable in most part of the world.

Moreover, inexpensive access to the internet and web also improve quality of knowledge in addition to the existing ones through research, which is mostly done through the internet.

However, there are also downside of inexpensive access to the internet and web which now depends on whichever individuals want. For instance not every information on the website are true or correct. The right thing to be done is to further search and compare several ones until the right one is found.
