If hardware gets damaged it can be replaced.
They are mostly made using electronic materials.

Software

Software can be infected by viruses.
It consists of applications and system software.
It is usually developed using a programming language.
It can be affected by bugs.

Hardware:
-physical parts of a computer that cause processing of data
-can be connected (physically) & can touch
- Hardware wares out during/over time
-Hardware failure is random
Software:
-A set of construction that tells a computer exactly what to do
-software is logical in nature
- dose not have an increasing failure rate

Similarities
- Behavior; Users interact with the products in various ways

- Products produce outputs and given inputs

-they have functional (user facing) and non functional (non user facing) requirements

-They are both complex (any representation of product specifications lead to a main structure)

Differences
- Software is easier to change then hardware

- Software testing is done by specialized quality assurance (QA) engineers, while hardware is done by engineers who are creating the product

-Hardware must be designed and tested to work over a range of time and environmental conditions, which is not the case for software

- Hardware designs are constrained by the need to incorporate standard parts

(Hope this helps?)

Sample program for Do While loop Qbasic

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A "Do While" loop statement runs while a logical expression is true.

Explanation:

This means that as long as your expression stays true, your program will keep on running. Once the expression is false, your program stops running. A "Do Until" loop statement runs until a logical statement is true.

7.6 LAB: Checker for integer string Forms often allow a user to enter an integer. Write a program that takes in a string represe

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Following are the program in the Python Programming Language:

def check(num): #define function

if(num.isdigit()): #set if statement

return "yes"; #return yes if condition is true

else:

return "no";# return no if condition is false

string=input("Enter the numbers 0-9: ") #get input from the user

print(check(string)) #print and call the function

Output:

Enter the numbers 0-9: 1995

yes

Enter the numbers 0-9: 42,000

Explanation:

Here, we define a function "check()" and pass an argument in its parameter "num" inside the function.

we set if-else conditional statement and check the value stored in the variable "num" is the digit by using built in function "isdigit()" then return "yes".
Then, otherwise it return "no".

Finally, we get the input from the user in the variable "string" then, we call the function through "print()" function.
