Answer: Biometric Identification

Explanation: The term biometrics refers to technologies that identify people through bodily characteristics such as fingerprints, retinal patterns, and voice patterns.

(Fingerprints are an example of biometrics—that is, body characteristics that identify individuals. Biometrics is an ideal tool for identification because the body characteristics don’t change.)

As the use of technology in medicine increases, biometrics may play a greater role in creating, accessing, and protecting the confidentiality of medical records. Biometrics can be used to

* Identify a patient. Fingerprints, for example, can identify a patient who is physically present, and voice recognition software can help verify the identity of a patient over the phone. This means of identification prevents health identity fraud, and it can instantly associate a patient, or the information generated with reference to the patient, with the correct records for both administrative and clinical purposes.

* Simplify secure access to records. Rather than memorizing and constantly changing passwords to preserve security, physicians and other health personnel can use their own biometric features that don’t change to create secure access for those entitled to access. The reliable authentication process of biometrics isn’t subject to the potential abuse that password sharing allows.

How to select the entire worksheet?
Archy [21]
Hey there! Hello! 

In an instance of Microsoft Excel 2016, you can select your entire worksheet by using the Ctrl-A shortcut on your keyboard for Windows, or Command-A in the case of a Mac. If you have a standard Windows keyboard, you should have two Ctrl keys on either side of your keyboard. On a standard Mac keyboard, you'll also find that there are two Command keys on either side of your space key. This shortcut applies to other things as well, such as documents in Word. It basically selects everything there is to select. 

I have attached a screenshot of the result of doing Command-A on a blank document. Everything within the bolded green outline is selected – it's typical for the cell you were on to be white instead of your highlight color (which is grey, in my case), and it will be selected, too. 

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)

I need help with Python. The first image is the code and the 2nd is the output.
Gekata [30.6K]
The issue arises because the string you are trying to print is not a string, rather a float value. Item1, item2 and item3 are strong values (if you type some alphabets in it and not just numbers), but itemonecost, itemtwocost, and itemthreecost are explicitly type casted to float. In line 22, 23, and 24 you’re trying to print a float, by adding it with the string. One cannot add numbers to string. Rather you can type cast the itemcost to string while printing.

Add str(itemonecost) instead of itemonecost in print statement. Do this for other float variables too.

However do note that there are multiple ways to correct this issue, and I’ve just pointed one out.
