Soccer is a global sport. soccer is thought to have originated in 12th century England and became so popular that the Kings Henry II and Henry IV had to ban it. what helped with the globalisation of it was Britains global influence. at the peak of its power, the British Empire nearly covered a quarter of the planet, meaning that it was very easy to spread the game of soccer to many other countries.

soccer is also popular because it can literally be played anywhere, all you need is a ball. it also doesn't require very many players, whereas games of rugby or American football would often need more players. the rules are quite simple so anyone can play it, and since only a ball is needed, the poor often play it aswell since balls aren’t too expensive (eg the slums of brazil).

what is also very important to understand is that the creation of the television boosted the popularity by a huge amount. the first football game was televised in England in 1937 and the first World Cup was televised in 1954. televised matches were able to capture the imaginations of those watching. it inspired the next generation of footballers, making them want to be like their idols, wanting to play on the biggest stage of all. It is thought that around 16% of the worlds population watched Germany beat Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final.

What is the difference between throughput and bandwidth?
masha68 [24]

Answer: Please find below the answer along with explanation.

Explanation:

For  a given communication channel (for instance, a LAN segment using Ethernet ) the Bandwidth refers to the theoretical maximum data rate that the channel can support, for instance, 100 Mbps in a 100Base T network.

The throughput, instead, refers to the actual data rate achieved in a given communications channel, taking into account the different channel impairments.

For instance, in a LAN segment that uses the original Ethernet 802.3 standard (CSMA/CD), a frequent occurrence of collisions can take down the actual data rate from the theoretical 100 Mbps to a very lower figure, i.e., 5 Mbps.

Name the different types of constructors that a designer can provide in a class. Provide an example with a class showing many co
Marrrta [24]
By default, if you do not implement a constructor, the compiler will use an empty constructor (no parameters and no code). The following code will create an instance of the MyObject class using the default constructor. The object will have the default vauesfor all the attributes since no parameters were given.

MyObject obj = new MyObject();

Another type of constructor is one with no parameters (no-arg constructor). It is similar to the default, except you actually create this constructor. The contents of the the constructor may include anything. To call a no-arg constructor, use the same line of code as above. The constructor can look like the one below:

public MyObject() {
System.out.println("This is a no-arg constructor");
}

Lastly there is the parameterized constructor. This type of constructor takes in parameters as inputs to assign to values in the newly created object. You call a parameterized constructor as follows:

MyObject obj = new MyObject("Bob", 20);

The constructor will look like this:

public MyObject(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}

In the constructor, the keyword "this" refers to the object, so this.name is a private global variable that is being set equal to the inputted value for name, in this case "Bob".

Hope this helps!
