Semiconductor memory is used mainly for primary storage even with its high cost. In another hand, the magnetic tape is the cheap

est storage media and it is commonly preferred only as backup storage! Use your own words to discuss how the storage cost, speed and capacity trade-offs can affect the choice of storage media.

<span>Storage costs are a big factor in choosing the type of storage media, especially for larger projects and firms. Tasks that require large backups tend to move to magnetic (tape) memory because of the relatively low cost and high overall storage capacity. However, when working with projects that require faster memory and access that is instantaneous, chip memory, even at the higher cost, is more preferable since it is always accessible.</span>

Most types of semiconductor memory have the property of random access,which means that it takes the same amount of time to access any memory location. This means that data can efficiently be accessed in any random order.This contrasts with data storage media such as hard disks and CDs which read and write data consecutively therefore, explains why the data can only be accessed in the same sequence it was written.

Semiconductor memory also has much faster access times than other types of data storage; a byte of data can be written to or read from semiconductor memory within a few nanoseconds, while access time for rotating storage such as hard disks is in the range of milliseconds. For these reasons it is used for main computer memory (primary storage), to hold data the computer is currently working on, among other uses.

Storage costs are a big factor in choosing the type of storage media, especially for larger projects and firms. Tasks that require large backups tend to move to magnetic (tape) memory because of the relatively low cost and high overall storage capacity. However, when working with projects that require faster memory and access that is instantaneous, chip memory, even at a higher cost, is more preferable since it is always accessible.

Write a program that reads an integer, a list of words, and a character. The integer signifies how many words are in the list. T
hammer [34]

Answer:

In C++:

#include<iostream>

#include<vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int len;

cout<<"Length: ";  cin>>len;

string inpt;

vector<string> vect;

for(int i =0;i<len;i++){

   cin>>inpt;

   vect.push_back(inpt); }

char ch;

cout<<"Input char: ";  cin>>ch;  

for(int i =0;i<len;i++){

   size_t found = vect.at(i).find(ch);  

       if (found != string::npos){

           cout<<vect.at(i)<<" ";

           i++;

       }

}  

return 0;

}

Explanation:

This declares the length of vector as integer

int len;

This prompts the user for length

cout<<"Length: ";  cin>>len;

This declares input as string

string inpt;

This declares string vector

vector<string> vect;

The following iteration gets input into the vector

<em>for(int i =0;i<len;i++){ </em>

<em>    cin>>inpt; </em>

<em>    vect.push_back(inpt); } </em>

This declares ch as character

char ch;

This prompts the user for character

cout<<"Input char: ";  cin>>ch;  

The following iterates through the vector

for(int i =0;i<len;i++){

This checks if vector element contains the character

   size_t found = vect.at(i).find(ch);  

If found:

       if (found != string::npos){

Print out the vector element

           cout<<vect.at(i)<<" ";

And move to the next vector element

           i++;

       }

}

What is workflow? how do you create your own workflow?
lana66690 [7]
A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of business activity enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.


Create a detailed outline of what you want to achieve and sketch a workflow diagram before using workflow chart software or templates. This will help to ensure your chart is accurate and complete. Always consider your process and workflow manageability when inserting logic in your workflow chart. You can use decision symbols, connectors and text boxes. Always confirm the accuracy of your workflow chart with other stakeholders.


(If you need to know what the workflow diagrams layout is just look it up. GL.)

What is the numerical ratio that is equivalent to 19.2 dB?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 83.17

Explanation:

By definition, the dB is an adimensional unit, used to simplify calculations when numbers are either too big or too small, specially in telecommunications.

It applies specifically to power, and it is defined as follows:

P (dB) = 10 log₁₀ P₁ / P₂

Usually P₂ is a reference, for instance, if P₂ = 1 mW, dB is called as dBm (dB referred to 1 mW), but it is always adimensional.

In our question, we know that we have a numerical ratio, that is expressed in dB as 19.2 dB.

Applying the dB definition, we can write the following:

10 log₁₀ X = 19.2 ⇒ log₁₀ X = 19.2 / 10 = 1.92

Solving the logarithmic equation, we can compute X as follows:

X = 10^1.92  = 83.17

X = 83.17
