. Also, plate tectonics has recycled the Earth's crust throughout most of its history.
Using this information, what can be concluded about the age of the Earth if the oldest known rocks in the Earth's crust are 4.28 billion years old?

A. The Earth is exactly 4.28 million years old.
B. The Earth is younger than 4.28 billion years.
C. The Earth is older than 4.28 billion years.

The Earth is older than 4.28 billion years.

"When the Earth first began to form, it was molten and did not have a crust. The crust formed sometime after the Earth formed as a whole. Therefore, the Earth's oldest known crustal rocks are not as old as the Earth itself. Also, because the crust has been recycled continuously through plate tectonics, these rocks may not represent the true, original crust of the Earth. This would be mean that the original crust is even older than 4.28 billion years.

Based on all of this information, it can be concluded that the Earth is older than 4.28 billion years."

Rewrite this if/else if code segment into a switch statement int num = 0; int a = 10, b = 20, c = 20, d = 30, x = 40; if (num &g
Tanya [424]

Answer:

public class SwitchCase {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       int num = 0;

       int a = 10, b = 20, c = 20, d = 30, x = 40;

       switch (num){

           case 102: a += 1;

           case 103: a += 1;

           case 104: a += 1;

           case 105: a += 1;

           break;

           case 208: b += 1; x = 8;

           break;

           case 209: c = c * 3;

           case 210: c = c * 3;

           break;

           default: d += 1004;

       }

   }

}

Explanation:

  • Given above is the equivalent code using Switch case in Java
  • The switch case test multiple levels of conditions and can easily replace the uses of several if....elseif.....else statements.
  • When using a switch, each condition is treated as a separate case followed by a full colon and the the statement to execute if the case is true.
  • The default statement handles the final else when all the other coditions are false

A palindrome is a string that reads the same from left to right and from right to left. Design an algorithm to find the minimum
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python. It is a recursive function that tests the first and last character of the word and keeps checking to see if each change would create the palindrome. Finally, printing out the minimum number needed to create the palindrome.

import sys

def numOfSwitches(word, start, end):

   if (start > end):

       return sys.maxsize

   if (start == end):

       return 0

   if (start == end - 1):

       if (word[start] == word[end]):

           return 0

       else:

           return 1

   if (word[start] == word[end]):

       return numOfSwitches(word, start + 1, end - 1)

   else:

       return (min(numOfSwitches(word, start, end - 1),

                   numOfSwitches(word, start + 1, end)) + 1)

word = input("Enter a Word: ")

start = 0

end = len(word)-1

print("Number of switches required for palindrome: " + str(numOfSwitches(word, start, end)))
