Disk access is way slower than memory access. Caching is a technique to improve the disk access time.  Block cache is a caching technique which reduces disk accesses time.  Here a portion of disk is bought to cache for reading and a modified blocks are first changed in cache but reflected in the disk at one go.  On the other hand with write through caching each modified block is written to cache and at the same time it is written to the disk.  Write- through caching requires more disk I/O so they can have a negative effect on the performance.

Answer:

block cache

Explanation:

    An integrated cache is a layer of memory that automatically caches frequently accessed data through the source database.

    Block cache is used to store blocks read from disks. This means that a small buffer cache will cause Oracle to cache data blocks following the LAST RECENTLY USED list, and depending on how often this happens, can lead to a drop in performance.

    There is no magic to sizing the block cache, what you usually do is estimate an initial size and monitor the hit, if it is not optimal, you will need to lengthen and repeat the monitoring cycle.

Implement a recursive method named power that takes 2 integer parameters named base and expo. The method will return the base ra
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

def power(base, expo):

   if expo == 0:

       return 1

   else:

       return base * power(base, expo-1)

Explanation:

*The code is in Python.

Create a method called power that takes base and expo as parameters

Check if the expo is equal to 0. If it is return 1 (This is our base case for the method, where it stops. This way our method will call itself "expo" times). If expo is not 0, return base * power(base, expo-1). (Call the method itself, decrease the expo by 1 in each call and multiply the base)
