In addition to the obvious temptations in Berkilak's castle with his wife (all of which involve erotic temptation and the temptation to violate hospitality for personal pleasure), more significant spiritual temptations frame this story. First, Gawain displays an element of pride when he agrees to participate in the initial contest. While Arthur is more to blame and Gawain offers to take his place, it certainly is not prudent to participate in this contest with a character whose appearance suggests that he is not a normal, mortal man. The first part of this bargain therefore involves the temptation of pride.

Later, the temptation that most condemns Gawain is the desire to continue living even if one will live a life compromised by deceit. While it is understandable that Gawain would hide the garter and flinch at the blow of an ax, the temptation to focus on his mortal rather than his spiritual life is the cause of his wearing the garter as a mark of shame.

Explain how computer system is different from computer in 150 words
Zina [86]

Answer:

To be distinguished from the physical or hardware components of a computer, programs are collectively referred to as software. A computer system, therefore, is a computer combined with peripheral equipment and software so that it can perform desired functions.

A computer is a device that does certain things (mostly very basic data manipulation and mathematical functions), just as a building is a device that does certain things (such as housing offices or apartments). What makes a computer special is that it does these things very very quickly. A computer system is a mechanism that incorporates multiple computers along with other things like data storage devices, networks, and data paths (ways to move data around among storage devices and computers), as well as software (rules for how to do things), procedures and processes and protocols and on and on. A computer system performs a rather complex function, just as a city is a system that involves multiple buildings along with roads, sewage treatment plants, water and electrical systems and many other things that enable it to perform a function considerably more complex than the function performed by a building.

A major advance in the field of computing was the advent of networking. Before that, computers had to be near each other in order to communicate with each other and computer systems typically existed in a relatively small physical location where all the computers were in the same place. If you see a movie released in the period from roughly 1950 to 1980, you will note that computers and computer systems were typically depicted as gigantic things located in a large room. With networking, a computer system might have computers in one place, remote access devices in another place, and other computers in other places. Thus a building might have computers and terminals and printers and what have you all over it, all capable of communicating with each other. The internet, which enables world wide networks, has made it possible to have computer systems that consist of thousands of computers (or more), located all over the globe.

a computer is like an engine whereas a computer system is like a vehicle (a car or truck or boat) that contains one or more engines and does something more complex than what the engine does. But the engine is the essential component that enables the vehicle to do what it does. a computer exists in a single place and does a primitive set of functions. A computer system combines a computer with many other things to perform a complex set of functions. It can also exist in a single place, but it may exist in many places at the same time.

You want to join your computer to a homegroup but you don't see any homegroups on your home network
vodomira [7]
The reason why this is likely to happen is that maybe the computer that you are using has disabled network discovery, preventing you to join or find the home group. And one more reason is that, your computer has not been set to home network, allowing you not to access or find the home group that you were looking for.

6.5 Code Practice: Question 1
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

# input the number of temperatures required, which will be 10 here, but the user can print any number.

n=input("Enter the number of temperatures you want")

# create a list which can have n temperatures since it starts from 0, the maximum is n-1, and n needs to be converted to an integer.

temp= [0,int(n)-1]

#declared a variable of float type. As its 0.0 it will be a float, if 0 then integers, and so on

s=0.0

#running a for loop n times, and hence 0 to n-1.

for i in range(0, int(n)):

temp[i]=input("Enter the temperature in degree celsius in float")

s=s + float(temp[i])

i=i+1

print("The sum of the temperatures is:{0:0.1f}", +s)

Explanation:

The question from edhesive is: You need to write a program that calls for ten temperatures and then find the sum of temperatures. The temperature should be in float, which is expected. And the program is as being mentioned in the answer section.
