FUNCTION- a group of instructions that is often repeated

DEBUG- to analyse a piece of code and ensure there is no errors

SEQUENCING- placing code in a specific order(/sequence)

LOOP- doing something over and over again until a requirement is met

REPEAT- performing the same tasks again and again

CONDITIONALS- certain requirements

VARIABLE- something that is defined in a piece of code

A PROGRAMMER IS TO A COMPUTER AS A TEACHER IS TO: A student

A GOOD ALGORITHM MUST BE: Efficient and easy to understand

IMAGINE WRITING A PROGRAM THAT INSTRUCTS A BIRD HOW TO TAKE OFF, FLY AND LAND. WHAT FUNCTION IS LIKELY TO BE LOOPED? The fly function as a bird flies a longer period of time

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS MOST SIMILAR TO A FUNCTION? *no choices so unable to answer*

WHAT DO VARIABLES AND FUNCTIONS HAVE IN COMMON? They both have to be defined

8. THE MAIN CAUSE OF BUGS IN CODING IS: Human error

9. LIST THE FOLLOWING IN ORDER FROM THE SIMPLEST TO MOST COMPLEX:

PROGRAM
FUNCTION
STEP

10. IF A PROGRAM HAS GONE THROUGH MANY ITERATIONS, WHAT MUST BE TRUE? A condition(?)

11. What is a benefit of DRYing up code? c. It saves programmers time

12. A statement in a function can be most closely compared to: a. A step in a recipe

T/F: ARE THE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED TRUE? *no choices so unable to answer*

Hopefully this helped and I'm sorry I was unable to answer some questions :)

Write the definitions for three function named max. Each receives two parameters, of the same type, and returns the larger of th

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The method definition to this question can be given as:

Method definition:

double max(double x, double y) //define method with double parameter

{

if (x>=y) //check condition.

return x; //return value

else

return y; //return value

}

double max(int x, int y) //define method with integer parameter

{

if (x>=y) //check condition

return x; //return value

else

return y; //return value

}

double max(char x, char y) //define method with char parameter

{

if (x>=y) //check condition

return x; //return value

else

return y; //return value

}

Explanation:

The above method definition can be described as below:

In the first method definition first, we define a method that is "max()". In this method we pass two variables as a parameter that is "x and y" and the datatype of this is double. Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.
In the second method definition, we define a method that is same as the first method name but in this method, we pass two integer variable that is "x and y". Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.
In the third method definition, we define a method that is same as the first and second method name but in this method, we pass two char variable that is "x and y". Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.

Orphan record example?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

If we delete record number 15 in a primary table, but there's still a related table with the value of 15, we end up with an orphaned record. Here, the related table contains a foreign key value that doesn't exist in the primary key field of the primary table. This has resulted in an “orphaned record”.
