Most of us were taught that the man who invented the keyboard created the QWERTY design to slow typists down. The faster someone typed, the more often the typewriter jammed

<span>In 1874 Remington & Sons manufactured the first commercial typewriter, called the Remington Number 1. This typewriter was designed by Christopher Sholes and used the "QWERTY" keyboardwe are all familiar with.</span>This early typewriter used a mechanism with characters on the end of a bar. When a key was struck, a linkage would swing the bar into a tape coated with ink. When the character struck the tape, the impression of the character was transferred onto the paper, which was positioned behind the tape.Sholes' original prototypes had a problem with the bars colliding with each other and jamming. So the story goes that he arranged the keys with the most common letters in hard to reach spots, to slow typists down and try to avoid this problem.<span>Whatever the reason for the QWERTY layout, it seems pretty unlikely that one of the first keyboard layouts invented would be perfect. The QWERTY keyboard is very different from the Dvorakkeyboard layout. The Dvorak keyboard layout tries to minimize the distance traveled by the fingers. It also tries to make the typist alternate hands on consecutive letters as often as possible.</span>The Dvorak layout places all of the most commonly used letters in the home row so your fingers don't have to move at all to hit these keys. The left hand has all of the vowels and some consonants and the right hand has only consonants. So there are very few words in the English language that can be typed with only one hand on the Dvorak keyboard (two are "papaya" and "opaque"). Both "pumpkin" and "minimum" can be typed with one hand on a QWERTY keyboard -- give it a try.<span>This site shows the layout of the Dvorak keyboard. If I had typed this article on a Dvorak keyboard, my fingers would have traveled 30 meters versus the 54 meters they traveled on the QWERTY keyboard I use.</span><span>Some argue, however, the Dvorak keyboard is no more efficient than QWERTY. An independent study in 1956 showed that QWERTY typists and Dvorak typists had about the same rate of speed, and continued studies don't show a clear winner between the two [ref]. This may explain why QWERTY is still the standard.</span>

Write a function that takes an integer value and returns the number with its digits reversed. for example, given the number 7631
lesantik [10]

//=indicating you to do the programming part on your own relating to the description provided against. This done because different programming languages require different coding for that.

n=integer value

n1=dummy storage for n

r=variable used to do the function

{

int n,r,n1,rev=0;

//do the coding here for storing the integer in the variable n

n1=n;

while(n>0){

   r=n%10;

   rev=(rev*10)+r;

   n=n/10;

   }

//now add a command for displaying the value of rev

}

this is just a logic i used for java

done.

In cell I8, enter a nested logical function to display Need to Remodel if the apartment is unoccupied (No) AND was last remodele
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The Function is given as

=IF(AND(E8="No",G8>10),"Need to remodel","No Change")

Explanation:

The syntax of the IF condition in excel is given as

IF(Test,If true,If false)

So here the test is an and component such that the house has to be unoccupied which is indicated as E8 because the E column contain the occupancy of the apartments, and the G8 is the last remodeling time, so the test statement is the AND operation of the conditions as

E8="No" indicating that house is unoccupied

G8>10 indicating that the last remodelling was more that 10 years ago

So the test is given as

AND(E8="No",G8>10)

Now the statement if the test true is the recommendation for to remodel, so

"Need to remodel"

Now the statement if the test is false is given as

"No Change"

So the overall function becomes

=IF(AND(E8="No",G8>10),"Need to remodel","No Change")
