Write the definition of a function typing_speed, that receives two parameters. The first is the number of words that a person ha

s typed (an int greater than or equal to zero) in a particular time interval. The second is the length of the time interval in seconds (an int greater than zero). The function returns the typing speed of that person in words per minute (a float).

Answer:

The definition of function is as follows:

def typing_speed(number_of_words,Time_Interval):

number_of_words>=0  

Time_Interval>0

speed=float(60*number_of_words/Time_Interval)

return speed

Explanation:

Above function is defined step-by-step as follows:

        def typing_speed(number_of_words,Time_Interval):

  • A function named typing speed has two arguments, num_of_words and Time_Interval.

                             number_of_words>=0  

                             Time_Interval>0

  • The variable number_of_words is the number of words entered that a person enters, they must be greater than or equal to 0. Where as Time_Interval is the variable for counting the time span in seconds, it must be greater than 0.

                    speed=float(60*number_of_words/Time_Interval)

                    return speed

  • For determining result firstly the seconds are converted int minutes by multiplying with 60 and number_of_words is divided with Time_Interval in order to get words per minute. The return value will give speed which has data type float.

• What advantage does a circuit-switched network have over a packet-switched network? What advantages does TDM have over FDM in
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Advantages of both circuit switched networks and TDM are given below:

Explanation:

Advantages of circuit switched network over packet switched network:

  • Circuit switched network has the advantage of being physically connected and having a dedicated channel for communication between the sender and the receiver which also makes it more reliable. Packet switched networks do not have a dedicated channel hence, they are not that reliable.
  • Circuit switched networks are used for voice calls because there is no timing jitter or delay in these types of networks while packet switched networks do not offer this advantage.

Advantages of TDM over FDM in a circuit switched network:

  • TDM is time division multiplexing i.e. multiple information is sent in different time intervals but on the same frequency. While FDM sends information using different frequencies. So, the advantage of using TDM is that the information will be sent from the sender to the receiver using only a single frequency.
  • Using TDM, bandwidth is saved because it only sends information on a single frequency unlike FDM.
  • In TDM, there is low chance of interference between signals since they are sent in different time intervals from the sender to the receiver. While FDM has a higher chance of interference.

vivado [14]
The acronym RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) describes networked devices that contain microcomputers but are not thought of as computing devices, such as refrigerators, automobile components, light bulbs, and industrial control devices. RFIDs are  battery-powered sensors that gather and transmit data to a reading device. Some sensor based technologies are  scanning electron microscopes, LiDAR,radar, GPS, x-ray, sonar, infrared and seismic.

Write a loop that reads c-strings from standard input where the c-string is either "land", "air", or "water". The loop terminate
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

I am writing a C++ code.        

#include <iostream> // for input output functions

using namespace std; // identifies objects like cin cout

int main() { //start of main() function body

string c_string; // stores the string entered by user from land water or air

int land=0; // contains the number of times land string is read in

int air=0; //contains the number of times air string is read in

int water = 0; //contains the number of times water string is read in

cin>>c_string; //reads the string entered by user from air water or land

/*while loop continues to execute until user enters xxxxx or maximum length of a string exceeds 8 */

while(c_string!= "xxxxx" && c_string.length()<=8) {

if(c_string=="land"){ // if string entered by user is land

land = land + 1;} //counts and increments each occurrence of land string by 1

else if(c_string=="air"){// if string entered by user is air

air = air + 1;}// counts and increments each occurrence of string air by 1

else if(c_string=="water"){// if string entered by user is water

water = water + 1;}//counts and increments each occurrence of air by 1

cin>>c_string;}

/* keeps reading the string entered by user from land air or water, until the loop breaks after the user enters xxxxx or user enters a string whose length is greater than 8 */

//prints the number of times land, air and water are read in

cout << "land:"<<land;

cout << endl<<"air:"<<air;

cout << endl<< "water:"<<water; }                      

                                                                                     

Explanation:

Everything is well explained in the comments above.

The program prompts the user to input strings. These strings are either land air or water. The while loop continues to read the input strings until user enters xxxxx or the string entered by user exceeds the length 8. Both these terminating conditions are added in the while loop. After the loop terminates, the number of times land, air and water strings are read is displayed on the output screen. Any other string entered by user other than these 3 is ignored. The program along with the output is attached.
