8 0

Answer:

256.

Explanation:

In Computer science, a bit is a short word for the term binary digit and is primarily the basic (smallest) unit measurement of data or information.

A bit is a logical state which represents a single binary value of either one (1) or zero (0). This ultimately implies that, a single bit in computer science represents a boolean value of;

1. True or ON, which is equal to one (1).

2. False or OFF, which is equal to zero (0).

Additionally, a binary numbering represents all numeric values that are to be written in sequences of ones (1s) and zeroes (0s). Therefore, a binary number refers to any numerical value (number) that is expressed in base-2 numerical system; 0s and 1s.

Also, the total numbers which can be represented with an 8 bit binary (base-2) system is 256.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

$2^{n}$

Given that n = 8

$2^{8} = 256$

Which printout will result from the snippet of code?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

These are the supplies in the list:

[‘pencil’, ‘notebook’, ‘backpack’, ‘pen’, ‘calculator’]

Explanation:

The line return (\n) character will be in the output (so there will be a change of line), but it will NOT be visible as it would have been interpreted as a special character.

So the output will be on 2 different lines, with no \n visible.

If the command would have been: print('These are the supplies in the list:\n', supplies), with single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") then then \n would have been printed but not interpreted as a special character. At least in most computer language. Since we don't know of which language the question refers to, we can't be sure at 100%.

The cost of a given amount of computing power has _____.

lana [24]

Answer:

decreased drastically over the last five decades

Explanation:

I would say it is that answer because a few decades ago we needed huuuge computers that filled rooms to compute simple tasks. Now we have cellphones, which are basically computers that can fit into the palm of our hands. Our phones can do more than what those huge computers of the past did and they're easier to produce. So cost must have drastically decreased.

vivado [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The maintenance phase of the waterfall model for software development involves making changes to the entire system or some parts of it for improved performance. Integration and testing is the step at which all units developed at the implementation stage are brought together to form a whole functioning system. At this stage, the system is constantly checked for proper functionality so it can be deployed.
