ColdFusion/JRun is a web application server that provides the ability to connect web servers to multiple data sources.ColdFusion/JRun is an application server developed by Adobe, that is based on Sun Microsystems' Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The other options are eliminated because: Ms Access is <span>Database Management System , FoxPro is database development system and dBase is also data management system.</span>
The answer is a) It improves upon the two-phased commit by requiring that locks be acquired at the start of a transaction.
Reason: The 3PC is an extension or you can say developed from 2PC that avoids blocking of an operation. It just ensures that first n sites have intended to commit a transaction that means it acquires commits or locks before the start of any transaction to avoid any blocking.
Option b) is wrong as it does not allow coordination, it just let all the other sites do their transaction if any other site is blocked, so no coordination is there between sites that they will wait till their coordinator is corrected.
Option c) is wrong as lock operations are shared between other connections as when their coordinator fails, the new coordinator agrees to the old coordinator that they had shared locks before and they can start their transaction.
Option d) is wrong as option a) is correct.

Answer:
1. A high level algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Heat fry pan
- Cook one side of the hamburger
- Wait
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put cheese over hamburger
- Wait
- Cut hamburger bread in half
- Put cooked hamburger inside bread
- End (eat)
2. A detailed algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Place fry pan over the stove heater
- Turn on heater (max temp)
- IF fry pan not hot: wait, else continue
- Place raw hamburger on fry pan
- IF hamburger not half cooked: Wait X time then go to line 5, else continue
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put N slices of cheese over hamburger
- IF hamburger not fully cooked: Wait X time then go to line 8, else continue
- Turn off heater
- Cut hamburger bread in half horizontally
- Put cooked hamburger on one of the bread halves.
- Put second bread half on top of hamburger
- End (eat)
Explanation:
An algorithm is simply a list of steps to perform a defined action.
On 1, we described the most relevant steps to cook a simple cheeseburger.
Then on point 2, the same steps were taken and expanded with more detailed steps and conditions required to continue executing the following steps.
In computational terms, we used pseudo-code for the algorithm, since this is a list of actions not specific to any programming language.
Also we can say this is a structured programming example due to the sequential nature of the cooking process.
By definition a computer is an electronic device used to store and compute data. So, by definition a calculator stores and interprets data/numbers, and that makes it a computer. However, a computer can also use programs, and manipulate stored data to complete those programs.
hope it helps!! :D
