The same thing that holds the operating system when the computer is running.

It is usually a Hard Drive (HDD) or a Solid State Drive (SDD). I would recommend storing the operating system on the SSD because it loads faster, but a lot of computer's don't have SSD's which is why they are stored on Hard Drive's.

The page-replacement policy means that pages are not placed to make more space. A. True B. False
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

A page-replacement policy can be defined as a set of algorithm that instructs the operating systems on what memory page is to be swapped, paged out or written to disk in order to allocate more memory as they're required by various active processes during virtual memory management.

Some of the algorithms or techniques used by the operating system for page-replacement policy are;

1. Last In First Out (LIFO).

2. First In First Out (FIFO).

3. Least Recently Used (LRU).

4. Least Frequently Used (LFU).

5. Optimal (OPT or MIN).

Hence, the page-replacement policy means that pages are placed to make more space and to minimize the total number of page that would be missing.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The pseudocode is as follows:

Total_Hours = 0

Input Client_Name

Rate = 30.00

For days = 1 to 5

      Input Hours_worked

      Total_Hours = Total_Hours + Hours_Worked

Charges = Rate * Total_Hours

Print "Brianna Watt"

Print Client_Name

Print Total_Hours

Print Rate

Print Charges

Explanation:

This initializes the total hours worked to 0

Total_Hours = 0

This gets input for the client name

Input Client_Name

This initializes the standard rate to 30.00

Rate = 30.00

This iterates through the 5 days of work

For days = 1 to 5

This gets input for the hours worked each day

      Input Hours_worked

This calculates the total hours worked for the 5 days

      Total_Hours = Total_Hours + Hours_Worked

This calculates the total charges

Charges = Rate * Total_Hours

This prints the company name

Print "Brianna Watt"

This prints the client name

Print Client_Name

This prints the total hours worked

Print Total_Hours

This prints the standard rate

Print Rate

This prints the total charges

Print Charges
