Computers and Technology
1 answer:
Ainat [17]4 years ago
3 0

It is a (software) program that is installed on a computer without the user's knowledge for the purpose of making harmful changes. A computer virus attaches itself to another program (the execution of the host program triggers the action of the virus). And most of them perform actions that are malicious in nature, such as destroying data. A computer virus operates in two ways: As soon as it lands on a new computer, begins to replicate or it plays dead until the trigger kick starts the malicious code. The term 'computer virus' was formally defined by Fred Cohen in 1983.

using a timer to generate a random number, develop a program that displays random numbers between 1 and 47 (or whatever) for you
mestny [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python. It creates a variable that detects the current time. Then it loops through a range of numbers and chooses the last random number after 2 seconds. Finally, it prints that number to the screen. This function can be called countless times depending on the number of state lottery numbers needed.

import random

import time

start_time = time.time()

while time.time() - start_time < 2:

   lottery_number = random.randint(0, 48)

print(lottery_number)
