A video-streaming Web site uses 32-bit integers to count the number of times each video has been played. In anticipation of some

videos being played more times than can be represented with 32 bits, the Web site is planning to change to 64-bit integers for the counter. Which of the following best describes the result of using 64-bit integers instead of 32-bit integers?
a) 2 times as many values can be represented. b) 32 times as many values can be represented c) 2^32 times as many values can be represented. d) 32^2 times as many values can be represented.

Answer:

c) 2^32 times as many values can be represented.

Explanation:

It's funny, this problem comes from a real-life situation, except it wasn't really foreseen :-)  And we will encounter a similar problem in less than 20 years.

The difference in terms of storage capacity from 32-bit integers and 64-bits integers is huge.

A 32-bit integer can store (signed) numbers up to 2,147,483,647. (so over 2 BILLIONS)

A 64-bit integer can store (signed) numbers up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (9 BILLIONS of BILLONS)

Klio2033 [76]

A Python program that can convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, or vice versa. The program should use two custom functions, f_to_c and c_to_f, to perform the conversions.

Explanation:

  • Functions should be defined in a custom module named temps. Custom function c_to_f should be a void function defined to take a Celsius temperature as a parameter.
  • It should calculate and print the equivalent Fahrenheit temperature accurate to three decimal places.
  • Custom function f_to_c should be a value-returning function defined to take a Fahrenheit temperature as a parameter.
  • This function should calculate the equivalent Celsius temperature and return it.

The code is given below :

def c_to_f(tempCelsius):

  tempFahrenheit = ((9/5)*tempCelsius) + 32;

  print("\n %.3f Celsius is %.3f Fahrenheit \n" %(tempCelsius, tempFahrenheit));

def f_to_c(tempFahrenheit):

  tempCelsius = (tempFahrenheit - 32) * (5/9);

  return tempCelsius;

(Import modules)

import temps;  

def main():

  temperature = float(input("\n Enter a temperature: "));

  scale = input("\n Was that input Fahrenheit or Celsius c/f? ");

  if scale.lower() == 'c':

      temps.c_to_f(temperature);

  else:

 tempCel = temps.f_to_c(temperature);

      print("\n %.1f Fahrenheit equals %.3f Celsius \n" %(temperature, tempCel));

main();

Give two reasons why mobile internet may not be available everywhere. ​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Mobile Internet is dependant on cellular signal. Many countries, e.g. in Africa, don't have any coverage at all. Furthermore, mobile data might also not be available in the mountains as there are no cell towers and the rough terrain usually either blocks the signal entirely or weakens it significantly.

Which branch of study can help Jessica study the concept of light
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Physics, Quantum Mechanics

Explanation:

Light is a stream of photons with no weight. If you want to dig deeper in this mysterious phenomena, you should study physics and quantum mechanics. Physics takes up things like the theory of relativity, which can be useful in studying spacetime and how light travels through it, and quantum mechanics, being the study of matter in an atomic level, should help you get an understanding on how photons of light travel and why they behave so strangely.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The answer to this question is the option "a".

Explanation:

In computer science, the term SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle or it is also known as the System Development Life Cycle. This process used by the software industry to produce high-quality software. It aims to produce high-quality software that fulfills customer expectations. The term system specifications is a part of the SDLC. In this part we check the software support the system or not so the answer to this question is system specifications.
