How do you determine latitude using an astrolabe?

This was really useful in determining one's location during the times when technology wasn't that advanced yet. First is that it depends as to what time of the day is it being used. If used at day, most probably at high noon, the altitude of the sun would be measured and recorded and/or remembered. Most of the times, the latitude is determined during the day since it is much easier. At night, a star of known declination will be substituted to the sun. Most of the times, the North Star is used. Then, an almanac will be utilized to determine the declination of the Sun or the star, depending on which was used. After which, the formula is applied, which is latitude = 90 degrees - measured altitude +declination.

When using the BinarySearch() method of an array or list type, what value is returned when the element is not found? How can we
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

When the element is not found we return -1.

Explanation:

When we use binary search we use BinarySearch() method of an array or list type when the element is found we return the index of the element if found if the element is not found we return -1.

We can decode this value since it is less than 0 and the indexing of arrays and lists starts with 0 upto the size-1.So -1 index is not present in the array or list.We have to check if the index is < 0 then the element is not present in the array or list.

for ex:-

if(index<0)

{

    System.out.println("Element is not present in the array");

}

Complete the function to return the result of the conversiondef convert_distance(miles):km = miles * 1.6 # approximately 1.6 km
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The complete program is as follows:

def convert_distance(miles):

   km = miles * 1.6 # approximately 1.6 km in 1 mile

   return km

my_trip_miles = 55

# 2) Convert my_trip_miles to kilometers by calling the function above

my_trip_km =convert_distance(my_trip_miles) #3) Fill in the blank to print the result of the conversion

# 4) Calculate the round-trip in kilometers by doubling the result,

print("The distance in kilometers is " +str(my_trip_km))

# and fill in the blank to print the result

print("The round-trip in kilometers is " + str(my_trip_km * 2))

Explanation:

<em>The program is self-explanatory because I used the same comments in the original question.</em>

Look at the following code.int x = 7;int *iptr = &amp;x;What will be displayed if you send the expression *iptr to cout ? What h
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The answer to the given question can be given as:

The value of *iptr is 7. and the value of iptr is dynamic.

Explanation:

In the c++ code, it is defined that x is an integer variable that assigns a value which is 7. Then we define a pointer variable that is *iptr. This variable holds an address of the x variable. When we print the value of the iptr variable. if we use the expression *iptr to print value of the pointer variable by cout that is used in c++ for pint values. so the value of the iptr is 7. If we use the expression iptr sent to cout so we show the address of the variable x. In the pointer, it manages the addresses of dynamically allocated so the address of the variable is changed on execution time.
