Answer:

With the use of API.

Explanation:

The computer system is an electronic device that comprises of the interaction of the hardware and software components of its system. The software component of the system controls all activities of the hardware and other application software interface.

The operating system is that software in the system that controls all system activities. It uses the kernel interface to connect directly to the hardware and create a platform for running application or user softwares.

The user software is used to run one specific task on the system. Sometimes, it seeks to kernel mode from the operating system, to use a hardware component, by the use of API or application program interface.

// PrintStrings // Traverse the 2D character array "strings" and print each of the contained strings.// See the example outputs
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

C++.

Explanation:

void printStrings(char strings[NUM_STRINGS][STRING_LENGTH]) {

   // Multi dimension array can be traversed through multi-level loops

   for (int i = 0; i < NUM_STRINGS; i++) {

       for (int j = 0; j < STRING_LENGTH; j++) {

           cout<<"<<strings[i][j]<<";

       }

       cout<<endl;

   }

}

Output would be like this, depending on the size of NUM_STRINGS;

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

A hard disk has four surfaces (that's top and bottom of two platters). Each track has 2,048 sectors and there are 131,072 (217)
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

128 GB

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total capacity of the disk.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Number of surfaces = 4

Tracks per surface = 131,072

Number of sectors = 2,048

Each Block size = 512 bytes

Mathematically;

Total data capacity of the disk = no of tracks * no of sectors * block size

= 131,072 * 2048 * 512 bytes

= 2^17 * 2^11 * 2^9 bytes = 2^37 bytes

1 GB = 2^30 bytes

So 2^37 = 2^7 * 2^30

= 128 GB

Using Python I need to Prompt the user to enter in a numerical score for a Math Class. The numerical score should be between 0 a
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>The program doesn't use comments; See explanation section for detailed line by line explanation</em>

<em>Program starts here</em>

def lettergrade(subject,score):

     print(subject+": "+str(score))

     if score >= 90 and score <= 100:

           print("Letter Grade: A")

     elif score >= 80 and score <= 89:

           print("Letter Grade: B")

     elif score >= 70 and score <= 79:

           print("Letter Grade: C")

     elif score >= 60 and score <= 69:

           print("Letter Grade: D")

     elif score >= 0 and score <= 59:

           print("Letter Grade: F")

     else:

           print("Invalid Score")

maths = int(input("Maths Score: "))

english = int(input("English Score: "))

pe = int(input("PE Score: "))

science = int(input("Science Score: "))

arts = int(input("Arts Score: "))

lettergrade("Maths Class: ",maths)

lettergrade("English Class: ",english)

lettergrade("PE Class: ",pe)

lettergrade("Science Class: ",science)

lettergrade("Arts Class: ",arts)

Explanation:

The program makes the following assumptions:

Scores between 90–100 has letter grade A

Scores between 80–89 has letter grade B

Scores between 70–79 has letter grade C

Scores between 60–69 has letter grade D

Scores between 0–69 has letter grade E

<em>Line by Line explanation</em>

This line defines the lettergrade functions; with two parameters (One for subject or class and the other for the score)

def lettergrade(subject,score):

This line prints the the score obtained by the student in a class (e.g. Maths Class)

     print(subject+": "+str(score))

The italicized determines the letter grade using if conditional statement

<em>This checks if score is between 90 and 100 (inclusive); if yes, letter grade A is printed</em>

<em>      if score >= 90 and score <= 100:</em>

<em>            print("Letter Grade: A")</em>

<em />

<em>This checks if score is between 80 and 89 (inclusive); if yes, letter grade B is printed</em>

<em>      elif score >= 80 and score <= 89:</em>

<em>            print("Letter Grade: B")</em>

<em />

<em>This checks if score is between 70 and 79 (inclusive); if yes, letter grade C is printed</em>

<em>      elif score >= 70 and score <= 79:</em>

<em>            print("Letter Grade: C")</em>

<em />

<em>This checks if score is between 60 and 69 (inclusive); if yes, letter grade D is printed</em>

<em>      elif score >= 60 and score <= 69:</em>

<em>            print("Letter Grade: D")</em>

<em />

<em>This checks if score is between 0 and 59 (inclusive); if yes, letter grade F is printed</em>

<em>      elif score >= 0 and score <= 59:</em>

<em>            print("Letter Grade: F")</em>

<em />

<em>If input score is less than 0 or greater than 100, "Invalid Score" is printed</em>

<em>      else:</em>

<em>            print("Invalid Score")</em>

This line prompts the user for score in Maths class

maths = int(input("Maths Score: "))

This line prompts the user for score in English class

english = int(input("English Score: "))

This line prompts the user for score in PE class

pe = int(input("PE Score: "))

This line prompts the user for score in Science class

science = int(input("Science Score: "))

This line prompts the user for score in Arts class

arts = int(input("Arts Score: "))

The next five statements is used to call the letter grade function for each class

lettergrade("Maths Class: ",maths)

lettergrade("English Class: ",english)

lettergrade("PE Class: ",pe)

lettergrade("Science Class: ",science)

lettergrade("Arts Class: ",arts)
