You have 5 salespersons who work out of your office and who frequently leave their laptops laying on their desk in their cubicle
kati45 [8]

There are different ways to ensure safety of devices. The best protection to implement to address your concerns is to use cable locks to chain the laptops to the desks.

  • The use of laptop locks is as good as when compared to bicycle chain locks. One can do this by looking for a big, immovable object, such as one's desk, and thereafter you wrap the metal cable around it and then insert the lock into your laptop's lock slot.

With this, your computer becomes theft-proof.

Thia will give you piece of mind as you will not be restless anymore.

Why might a variable used for output have to be of a different type then a variable used for input?​
telo118 [61]

Answer:

You may use a different variable type for input in order to process the data appropriately and may use a different variable type to accommodate your program.

Explanation:

Your input may have to be different then output varying on what data you are processing.

For example, just like the last question you asked about calculating the area of the rectangle, your input MUST be converted to a different a numerical data type (i.e int or float) in order to do the math.

Based on your last question, if we didn't convert your input into a string your results wouldn't add the numbers together but only concatenate them. If I typed 3 & 5 as length & width, I would get 35 instead of 15.

Now another example is using functions (or methods whatever you want to call them), your input can be one thing and outputs another.

Let's say I want a function to tell me if I am smart. The way I want it to determine if its smart is by inputting my GPA into it, which is a numerical value. So the function would look something like this:

<u>Code (Python)</u>

def IsSmart(gpa):

  if (gpa >= 4):

       return True

  else

       return False

As you can see I am inputting a numerical value and it is outputting a boolean value. I can use this in a if else chain to spit out an output to the user.

Write the definition of a function named printpoweroftwostars that receives a non-negative integer n and prints a line consistin
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
To accomplish this without using a loop,
we can use math on a string.

Example:
print("apple" * 8)

Output:
appleappleappleappleappleappleappleapple

In this example,
the multiplication by 8 actually creates 8 copies of the string.

So that's the type of logic we want to apply to our problem.

<span>def powersOfTwo(number):
if number >= 0:
return print("*" * 2**number)
else:
<span>return

Hmm I can't make indentations in this box,
so it's doesn't format correctly.
Hopefully you get the idea though.

We're taking the string containing an asterisk and copying it 2^(number) times.

Beyond that you will need to call the function below.
Test it with some different values.

powersOfTwo(4) should print 2^4 asterisks: ****************</span></span>
