Client/Server and Peer-to-Peer networks are the two major network architecture models in use today. They each have advantages and disadvantages that can be used to benefit a particular outcome.

Briefly, the client/server model relates to one or many client performing relatively simple requests, which are then executed by a server. The server is performing more complex tasks, and often interacting with many clients simultaneously. Examples of client/server models include most websites, including the Brainly page you are running right this instant. Your web browser is acting as a client, and the Brainly.com website is running as a web server. It receives simple requests or information from your browser, such as clicking on a question or text typed by your keyboard, and then acts on this information by consulting a database, returning values, or returning a whole new web page to your browser. The client/server model is very powerful in business as it allows powerful and secure server-side processing and relatively simple clients. Office 365 that runs all microsoft office suites such as word and excel in a web browser on 'the cloud' is an example of a highly sophisticated client/server architecture.

By contrast, peer-to-peer networks are a distributed architecture of equals. Instead of a simple client and complex server, all clients are equals and link together to form nodes on a distributed network. There is no central control (server) and each node acts as a client and server to other nodes. This is also an extremely powerful network; as there is no central control it is difficult to shut down a peer-to-peer network. Taking out one node will not break the network in comparison to the client/server architecture where if the server goes down, services halt. Prime examples of famous peer-to-peer networks are the Bitcoin network and similar cryptographic currency networks, and music and file sharing networks such as Torrents. The torrent tracker websites are client/server however once a torrent is loaded into a torrent downloading application, the file is collectively downloaded from hundreds of 'peers' across the world as part of the torrent peer-to-peer network.

Extend to also calculate and output the number of 1 gallon cans needed to paint the wal. Hint: Use a math function to round up t
Crank

Answer:

Here is the Python program:

import math #import math to use mathematical functions

height = float(input("Enter wall height (feet): ")) #prompts user to enter wall height and store it in float type variable height

width = float(input("Enter wall width (feet): ")) #prompts user to enter wall width and store it in float type variable width

area = height *width #computes wall area

print('Wall area: {} square feet'.format(round(area))) #displays wall area using round method that returns a floating-point number rounded

sqftPerGallon = 350 #sets sqftPerGallon to 350

paintNeeded = area/ sqftPerGallon #computes needed paint

print("Paint needed: {:.2f} gallons".format(paintNeeded)) #displays computed paint needed up to 2 decimal places

cansNeeded = int(math.ceil(paintNeeded)) #computes needed cans rounding the paintNeeded up to nearest integer using math.ceil

print("Cans needed: {} can(s)".format(cansNeeded)) #displays computed cans needed

colorCostDict = {'red': 35, 'blue': 25, 'green': 23} #creates a dictionary of colors with colors as key and cost as values

color = input("Choose a color to paint the wall: ") #prompts user to enter a color

if color in colorCostDict: #if the chosen color is present in the dictionary

    colorCost = colorCostDict.get(color) #then get the color cost from dictionary and stores it into colorCost using get method that returns the value(cost) of the item with the specified key(color)

    cost = cansNeeded * colorCost #computes the cost of purchasing paint of specified color per cansNeeded

  print("Cost of purchasing {} paint: ${}".format(color,colorCostDict[color])) #displays the real cost of the chosen color paint

print("Cost of purchasing {} paint per {} gallon can(s): ${}".format(color,cansNeeded, cost)) #displays the cost of chosen color paint per cans needed.

Explanation:

The program first prompts the user to enter height and width. Lets say user enter 20 as height and 50 as width so the program becomes:

Wall area computed as:

area = height *width

area = 20 * 50

area = 1000

Hence the output of this part is:

Wall area: 1000 square feet                                                                                                                     Next program computes paint needed as:

paintNeeded = area/ sqftPerGallon

Since sqftPerGallon = 350 and area= 1000

paintNeeded = 1000 / 350

paintNeeded = 2.86

Hence the output of this part is:

Paint needed: 2.86 gallons

Next program computes cans needed as:      

cansNeeded = int(math.ceil(paintNeeded))

This rounds the computed value of paintNeeded i.e. 2.86 up to nearest integer using math.ceil so,

cansNeeded = 3                                                                  

Hence the output of this part is:

Cans needed: 3 can(s)                                                                                                                            Next program prompts user to choose a color to paint the wall

Lets say user chooses 'blue'

So the program get the cost corresponding to blue color and multiplies this cost to cans needed to compute the cost of purchasing blue paint per gallon cans. So

cost = cansNeeded * colorCost

cost = 3 * 25

cost = 75

So the output of this part is:

Cost of purchasing blue paint per 3 gallon can(s): $75                                                                                        The screenshot of the program along with its output is attached.

Mila [183]

Answer:

Interval Recording

Explanation:

According to my research on different data collection methods, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this method of data collection is called Interval Recording. This refers to the process of collecting different pieces of data from different parts of the same interview or study. Which is what Mrs. Golden is doing.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Differences between analog computer and hybrid computer​
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Analog computers only work with continuous numerical data in analog quantities, digital computers can process both non-numerical and numerical data and a hybrid computer is a combination of both analog and digital. A hybrid computer has the accuracy of a digital computer paired with speed of an analog one.
