This system requires giving different codes to all characters in 5 bits. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is a bit for a computer?</h3>

A bit is a binary digit, the most smallish increment of data on a computer. A bit can have only one of two values: 0 or 1, compared to the electrical values of off or on, respectively. Because bits are so small, you rarely work with data one bit at a time.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

After merging two arrays is complete you need to

VikaD [51]

Answer: C) copy the merged array back to the original array

Explanation:

After performing merging of two array then, copy the merge array back to its original array. Merging of two array is done by the process of merge sort. Merging of two array is the similar process of concatenate the two array into the single object.

It basically works on the principle of divide and conquer algorithm. It divide the input value into the two half and then, sorted the accordingly. Then after completion of merging the two array it copy into the original array.

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 an awk script that produces a report from an input file. The report summarizes sales data as recorded for sales stations.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Script is given below

Explanation:

Below is the AWK code for the Report.I have used the sample data that your have shared in the question.

AWK code-

echo "Hello World!"

echo "2011 Jan X 29.44 17.33 43.21" > inputfile.txt

echo "2014 Jan Y 32.32 12.12 99.00 1.99 " >> inputfile.txt

echo "2012 Jan X 321.11 12.34 10.99" >> inputfile.txt

echo "2012 Feb Y 1.99 12.75" >> inputfile.txt

echo "2012 Feb X 32.99 65.78 98.76" >> inputfile.txt

echo "2014 Jan Y 12.99 17.44 21.34" >> inputfile.txt

echo "2012 Mar X 11.45" >> inputfile.txt

awk -F" " 'BEGIN{ X_sum=0;

print(" Sales Data for year 2014")

print("========================")

}

{ if($1=="2014")

{

print($2,":", $4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10+$11+$12+$13)

}

if($3=="X")

{

X_sum=X_sum+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10+$11+$12+$13

}

if($3=="Y")

{

Y_sum=Y_sum+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10+$11+$12+$13

}

if($3=="Z")

{

Z_sum=Z_sum+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10+$11+$12+$13

}

END { print(" ========================")

print("Station volume for 2014 is:")

print("X:" ,X_sum )

print("Y:" ,Y_sum )

print("Z:" ,Z_sum )

}
