<span> <span>Ping of death issue. This issue occurred due to a loophole that existed in the IPv4 ping packets which were originally intended to be 56-64 bytes in size. Some computers were not designed to handle packets that were bigger than this size. The sender would therefore send packets that were over 65,535 bytes with the aim of overwhelming the recipient. Upon receipt of this packet in the target computer, a buffer overflow would occur which would ultimately lead to a system crash and sometimes causing the implementation of harmful code.</span></span>

Write a function that converts a string into an int. Assume the int is between 10 and 99. Do not use the atoi() or the stoi() fu
Liula [17]

Answer:

Written in C++

#include <iostream>

#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

int main()  {

   string num;

   cout<<"Enter a number: ";

   cin>>num;

   stringstream sstream(num);

   int convertnum = 0;

   sstream >> convertnum;

   cout << "Output: " << convertnum;

}

Explanation:

Without using atoi() or stoi(), we can make use of a string stream and this is explained as follows:

This line declares a string variable num

   string num;

This line prompts user for input

   cout<<"Enter a number: ";

This line gets user input

   cin>>num;

This line declares a string stream variable, sstream

   stringstream sstream(num);

This line declares and initializes the output variable, convertnum to 0

   int convertnum = 0;

The stream is passed into the output variable, convertnum

   sstream >> convertnum;

This line displays the output

   cout << "Output: " << convertnum;

<em>Note that: if user enters a non integer character such as (alphabet, etc), only the integer part will be convert.</em>

<em>For instance,</em>

<em>40a will be outputted as 40</em>

Using selection sort, how many times longer will sorting a list of 40 elements take compared to a list of 5 elements
Hoochie [10]

It will take 8 times more time to sort a 40-element list compared to the time spent on a 5-element list.

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

  • We can see that if we divide a group of 40 elements into groups containing 5 elements, we will have 8 groups.
  • In this case, the time it would take to sort the list of one group of 5 elements would be repeated 8 times so that we could sort all the groups and their elements.

Another way to do this is to divide the number 40 by 5. We would have the number 8 as a result, which indicates that we would need 8 times more time to sort a list of 40 elements, compared to a list of 5 elements.

Shift Registers. What is a Bit Shift Register? What are the different types of Bit Shift Registers and what might be their appli
lesya [120]

Answer:

Digital logic circuits made of cascaded flip flops.

The different types of Bit Shift Registers are; Serial-In Serial-Out, Parallel-In Parallel-Out, Serial-In Parallel-Out, Parallel-In Serial-Out.

Shift registers can be used as converters to translate data, as delay circuits or counters.

Explanation:

Shift Registers are digital logic circuits made of cascaded flip flops. Their main function is to shift their contents (bits) to the right or to the left one bit at a time. Bit Shift Registers can process data either parallelly or serially. So the different types of Bit Shift Registers are;

  • Serial-In Serial-Out
  • Parallel-In Parallel-Out
  • Serial-In Parallel-Out
  • Parallel-In Serial-Out

Because of their ability to convert data from parallel to serial, shift registers can be used as converters to translate data. Some of their other applications are also delay circuits or counters, storing and manipulating data etc.

I hope this answer helps.
