Answer and explanation:

When files in a computer are taking longer than usual to open up, it is a clear signal that you need to defragment the disk. When files are stored on the computer, they are saved in a specific part of the hard disk. As we delete files, those parts are left in blank creating empty spaces. The more we continue saving and erasing documents from our computer, the more blank spaces the hard disk will have implying that for opening archives allocated in different parts of the hard disk, it will have to spin more time until the file is found, making it perform slower. By <em>defragmenting the disk</em> we set together all the files saved in the computer, meaning the hard disk will have to spin fewer times to open the archives, which will speed up its performance.

Maybe going into task manager and disabling startup apps as well as deleting unneeded applications that have background possesses. This can help with overall performance, but for opening files? If it takes longer just to open files, and nothing else, then maybe the file is the problem.

Answer: Provided in the explanation section

Explanation:

C++ Code

#include<iostream>

#include<fstream>

#include<string>

using namespace std;

// read plain text from file

void readPlaneText(char *file,char *txt,int &size){

  ifstream inp;

 

  inp.open(file);

 

  // index initialize to 0 for first character

 

  int index=0;

  char ch;

 

  if(!inp.fail()){

      // read each character from file  

      while(!inp.eof()){

          inp.get(ch);

          txt[index++]=ch;

      }

  }

 

  // size of message

  size=index-1;

}

// read key

int **readKey(char *file,int **key,int &size){

  ifstream ink;

 

  //

  ink.open(file);

      if(!ink.fail()){

         

          // read first line as size

      ink>>size;

     

      // create 2 d arry

      key=new int*[size];

     

      for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

          key[i]=new int[size];

      }

     

      // read data in 2d matrix

      for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

          for(int j=0;j<size;j++){

              ink>>key[i][j];

          }  

      }

  }

  return key;

}

// print message

void printText(string txt,char *msg,int size){

  cout<<txt<<":\n\n";

 

  for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

      cout<<msg[i];

  }

}

// print key

void printKey(int **key,int size){

  cout<<"\n\nKey matrix:\n\n";

  for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

      for(int j=0;j<size;j++){

          cout<<key[i][j]<<" ";

      }  

      cout<<endl;

  }

}

void encrypt(char *txt,int size,int **key,int kSize,char *ctxt){

  int *data=new int[kSize];

 

  for(int i=0;i<size;i=i+kSize){  

 

  // read key size concecutive data

      for(int a=0;a<kSize;a++){

          data[a]=txt[i+a]-'a';

      }

     

      // cipher operation

      for(int a=0;a<kSize;a++){

          int total=0;

          for(int b=0;b<kSize;b++){

              total+=key[a][b]*data[b];

          }  

          total=total%26;

          ctxt[i+a]=(char)('a'+total);

      }      

  }

}

int main(int argc,char **argv){

  char text[10000];

  char ctext[10000];

  int **key;

  int keySize;

  int size;

  // input

  key=readKey(argv[1],key,keySize);

  readPlaneText(argv[2],text,size);

  encrypt(text,size,key,keySize,ctext);

 

  // output

  printKey(key,keySize);

  cout<<endl<<endl;

  printText("Plaintext",text,size);

  cout<<endl<<endl;

  printText("Ciphertext",ctext,size);

 

  return 0;

}

A computer has a memory ________, rather than just a single memory component. The lowest level is some form of ________ storage
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A computer has a memory hierarchy, rather than just a single memory component. The lowest level is some form of secondary storage such as a magnetic disk. The next level is the main memory where a subset of the data from the hard disk is stored temporarily. The cache memory is the next level and uses SRAM to store frequently used data. Finally, the register store variables and temporary results for the current CPU computations.
