Answer:

1. E: II and III only

2. A: (int)(Math.random() * (upper − lower) ) + lower

3. A: The value of answer is N

4. E: while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) && numGuesses <= 15 )

5. C: 21

Explanation:

1. Which of the following is equivalent to while(userGuess != secretNumber)?

I. while( userGuess < secretNumber && userGuess > secretNumber)  

NO - This will test until the userGuess is smaller AND greater than the secretNumber, at the same time... so that condition will never be true.

II. while( userGuess < secretNumber || userGuess > secretNumber)

YES - This will test the value of userGuess and see if it's smaller OR greater than secetNumber.  So, it will loop until the user guesses right.

III. while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) )

YES, this will negate the match with the secretNumber.  In order words, if it's not a match, it will return true... so the loop will run until it finds a false condition (a match).

As you can see, only II and III are valid.

2.  If the lower limit were inclusive and the upper limit exclusive, which expression would properly generate values for the secret number?

A: (int)(Math.random() * (upper − lower) ) + lower

Since the lower limit is INCLUSIVE, we mustn't add one to the lower limit.  Also, the Math.random() function returns a value that matches our needs; it returns a value between [0,1[ (meaning the 0 is included, but not the 1).

Assuming the (int) caster does return only the integer portion doing a round down of the result, we'll be perfect.

3. What conclusion can be made about the state of the program when the while loop terminates?

while(!answer.equals( "N"))

{.....

A: The value of answer is N

The condition in the loops reads as "While the negation of the answer being 'N', loop".  If the answer equals 'N' then the method should return true... which will be negated by the '!' operator, causing the condition to be false. Thus we know that if the loop ends, the value of answer contains 'N', any other value will keep the loop going.

4. Assuming numGuesses is initialized to 1, how would the while statement be modified to include an extra criterion limiting the number of guesses to 15?

E: while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) && numGuesses <= 15 )

This modified condition will first test to see if the user has guessed the secretNumber (if he has, the first sub-parenthesis will be true... so the left side of the && operator will be false due to the negation operator.  The right side of the && operator will check to see how many tries have been attempted. Since the counter starts at 1, it needs to go up to 15 inclusively... so the <= is the right comparison operator.

5. After execution of the following code segment, what will be displayed?

int x = 1;

while(x < 18)

{

x += 5;

}

System.out.println(x);

C: 21

The x variable is initialized with 1... then enters the loop, in which it is incremented by 5 at each passage.

So after first passage, x = 6

After second passage, x = 11

After third passage, x = 16

After fourth passage, x = 21

Cannot enter the loop again because 21 > 18.

So, it will print out the value of 21.

What is the easiest way to create a diverse set of cover pages?<br><br> Word 2016
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

using the cover page gallery

Explanation:

This is certainly the easiest way. And you just need to add this as first page, set the borders, pagination, headers and footers from second page, and avoiding the first page as it is the cover page as well as customize the various section of the cover page design you choose.

Inserting a blank page will require a lot of effort.

Inserting pictures will not  result into a complete and a meaningful cover page.

Same is the case if you insert shapes.

hope it helps :)

Several words separated by spaces used in place of a password are called what?
gavmur [86]
Answer is a passphrase

Passphrase consists of characters longer than passwords used in creating digital signatures. As compared to passwords, passphrases are easier to remember and considered more secure due to the overall length. Both Passphrase and passwords serve the same purpose of securing sensitive information.

The most commonly used network topology where network endpoints connect to a central device is called
arsen [322]
That would be a star network. A star network isn't necessarily shaped like a star, of course, but like you mention this topology has a central device, usually a server of some sorts, and then many different endpoints coming out of that central device, such as the client computers for the server.
