IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before we go deep into this question lets have some brief knowledge on parallel execution, parallel processing and multi tasking.

Parallel Execution : in this two or more tasks or program can be executed parallel or simultaneously.

For example if there are two processors and four programs to be executed then it executes two at a time.

Multi tasking: in this two or more tasks can be performed simultaneously switching between them without exiting any application.

For example we use notepad, word pad, excel sheet, chrome all at a time switching between each other.

Multi Threading: It is splitting up the program into different threads.If the contents in the program are independent on each other then the program can be split into multi threads and can be processed.

Multi threading in multi core or processing unit : In this threads are executed parallel or simultaneously in different processes.

For example if there are two processors then one multi threaded program can execute two threads in two different processors.

Multi threaded program in single core unit : In this, program is multi threaded where as threads cannot execute parallel or simultaneously. they sholud be executed by the same processor. So they should wait in queue

Ex: consider three tasks of 6 secs each and multi threaded each into three threads of two seconds.

Task1 3secs > task2 3secs > task3 3 secs it repeats until each task is completed

Total time taken is 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3 is 18seconds...

If they are executed one by one without multi threading total execution time has no change..

Where as multi threading program has its advantages if different threads are executed at different place..

If one thread executes at network, another at printer and other processor then these three can execute at same time at different processors. Multi threading has its advantages but in single core systems it doesn't affect the performance.

Inter process communication consists of

Information Sharing, message passing, Modularity.

In shared memory inter process communication processes shares the memory between each other.

In message passing communication process communicates like request and replies for information and resources.

Interlocking is due to error in resource sharing and information sharing. It results in system collapse.

Al these process communication is required if there are two or more.processes but in single core it is not much useful and advisable.

In single core there will be a single processor, processing multi threaded program as it can access all the memory contents there will be no problem of process communication. Where as in multi core systems different processes may compete for same memory or resource.

In single core systems inter process communication makes things complex and these complexity is not much useful in any of the improvement in performance.

What is the difference between coding with html and coding with python
dsp73

Answer:

Python is an object-oriented programming language that is designed to be accessible and simple for all users, HTML is a web language and is used globally to define the structure of web pages by using various tags. HTML is not a programming language it's a markup language which is used to formatting web pages. Python is a general purpose scripting language which can be used to develop a wide range of programs.

Write a new program called Lab7D that will read strings from a text file and turn them into "encrypted code". Create a bool func
Aliun [14]

Answer:

I am writing a C program for the first part and Python program for the second part of the question.    

<h2>1st program:</h2>

#include <stdio.h>  //to use input output functions

#include <stdlib.h>  // used here to access exit function

void main() {  //start of the main() function body

char fname[100], character;

// fname is the name of the input file which contains characters and character //variable is used to store characters

FILE *original, *temporary;  

/* two pointers of File type: original is used for the original input file and temporary is used for a temporary file name aux.txt */

printf("Enter the name of the text file to encrypt : ");

//prompts the user to enter the name of the file to be encrypted

scanf("%s",fname); //reads the name of the file from user

original=fopen(fname, "r"); //open the input file in read mode

if(original==NULL)  {

//displays the following message if the file is empty or does not exists

 printf("Cannot open original file");  

 exit(1);  }  //program exits

temporary=fopen("aux.txt", "w");

//creates a temporary file named aux.txt and open that file in write mode

if(temporary==NULL)  { //if temporary file could not be created

 printf("Cannot create a temporary file");

 fclose(original); //closes the original input file

 exit(2);  }  //program exits

while(1)  {

 character=fgetc(original);  

/*pointer original moves through the input file and gets input from original input file one character at a time and store it in character variable */

 if(character==EOF)  

//when all characters are obtained and pointer is at end of file  {

  break;  //the loop breaks }

 else   {  //if EOF is not yet reached

  character=character+100;  

//add 100 to each character to encrypt the characters

  fputc(character, temporary);

 // fputc() writes a single character at a time to aux file } }

fclose(original);  //closes input file

fclose(temporary); //closes aux file

original=fopen(fname, "w");  //opens input file in write mode

if(original==NULL) { //if file does not exist display following message

 printf("Cannot open the original file to write");

 exit(3);  } //program exits

temporary=fopen("aux.txt", "r"); //open aux.txt file in read mode

if(temporary==NULL)  { //if pointer temporary is NULL

 printf(" Cannot open temporary file to read");

 fclose(original);  //closes input file

 exit(4);  } //program exits

while(1)  {

 character=fgetc(temporary);

//obtains every character from aux file pointed by temporary

 if(character==EOF)  //if end of file is reaced {

  break;   } //the loop breaks

 else   { //if end of file is not reached

  fputc(character, original);  

//puts every character to input file }  }

printf(" %s is encrypted \n", fname);  

//displays this message when input file is successfully encrypted

//closes input and aux text files

fclose(original);

fclose(temporary); }  

Explanation:

The program first asks the user to enter the name of the file. Then the program uses two pointers original for input file and temporary for aux text file. It first opens the file whose name is entered by the user and reads that file by getting each single character using fgetc() until the pointer reaches the end of the file. While reading each character of the input file, it encrypts every character using and puts that encrypted content in temporary file names aux.txt using fputc() until the pointer reaches the end of the file. Lastly all the encrypted strings of the are placed in the original input text file.

<h2>Second program:</h2>

# bool function that accepts character as parameter and returns true if its a #vowel and false otherwise

def isVowel(character):  

   if character.lower() in 'aeiou':  #converts uppercase char to lowercase

       return True  #return true if character is a vowel    

   else:

       return False #returns false if input character is not a vowel

The program has a function isVowel() which takes a character as a parameter to check if that character is a vowel. If character is in uppercase  letters, it handles these characters using lower() method to convert the character to lowercase and then returns true if that character is a vowel otherwise returns false. To check the working of the function you can replace True and False with print statement such as:

if character.lower() in 'aeiou':

       print("It is a vowel")

   else:

       print("It is not a vowel")

And after that you can call this function and pass a character to it as:

isVowel('i')
