1. Zack sees an online contest. He could win $10,000 instantly! On the sign-up form, he enters his name and email address. He is

also asked to enter his nick name, the names of any pets, and his mom's maiden name. Should he do it?
A) Do it. The questions are silly, but it's worth it to win $10,000.
B) Don't. Identity thieves use such "clues" to figure out people's passwords.
2. Lew gets a notice from Apple. Because of new security rules, he must submit his Social Security Number (SSN) right away or he will lose all his photos. He knows where Mom keeps the SSN card. Should he do it?
A) Do it. It's an official notice from a company and if he waits, he could lose everything.
B) Don't. Real companies don't do this. Thieves use such information to create false identities.
3. Dana sees $200 wireless headphones on sale for just $5! She doesn't recognize the website. It only takes credit cards, not PayPal, and it asks for more detail than most sites do. She could use the credit card her parents gave her for emergencies. Should she do it?
A) Do it. So long as she pays her parents back right away, it should be all right.
B) Don't. Identity thieves can charge people's accounts for fake sales. Ask Mom or Dad first.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter an oligonucleotide sequence, such as TATGAGCCCGTA.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python. It continues looping and asking the user for an oligonucleotide sequence and as long as it is valid it outputs the reverse complement of the sequence. Otherwise it exits the loop

letters = {'A', 'C', 'G', 'T'}

reloop = True

while reloop:

   sequence = input("Enter oligonucleotide sequence: ")

   for x in sequence:

       if x not in letters:

           reloop = False;

           break

   if reloop == False:

       break

   newSequence = ""

   for x in sequence:

       if x == 'A':

           newSequence += 'T'

       elif x == 'T':

           newSequence += 'A'

       elif x == 'C':

           newSequence += 'G'

       elif x == 'G':

           newSequence += 'C'

   print("Reverse Complement: " + newSequence)

Imagine the user types in a complete sentence, but we want to read only the first word and place it in the String variable word.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FirstWord {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       //NOW YOU WANT TO COLLECT INPUTS FROM THE STUDENT OR USER

       //IMPORT THE SCANNER CLASS FIRST  outside your class

       // THEN YOU CREATE AN OBJECT OF THE SCANNER CLASS

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       //CREATE A VARIABLE TO HOLD THE USER INPUT

       String text = input.nextLine();

       

       //The variable holder will be used to store characters from the for loop

       String holder="";

       

       //Create a for loop that loops through the user's input

       for(int i=0; i<text.length(); i++){

           //As the loop increases, we get the character in the user's input and store them one by one in the variable holder

           holder+=text.charAt(i);

           if(text.charAt(i)==' '){

               //If the loop encounters a space, it means a complete word has been gotten from the user's input

               //Then the break below Breaks the loop, and the loop stops running

               break;

           }

       }

       System.out.println(holder);

}

Explanation:

text.length() returns the length of the sequence of characters present in length

text.charAt(a number) Returns the char value at the specified index. An index ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first char value of the sequence is at index 0, the next at index 1, and so on, as for array indexing.

Create a for loop

How does a for loop work?

It collects a starting point, an end point and an increment respectively....all these are passed in as arguments into the for loop

For example, the code above starts from 0, calculates the number of characters in the user's input and sets it as the end point, the loop runs from zero to the length of the text of the user...

Note: i++ in the loop is the increment, it means the loop increases by 1

A device is sending out data at the rate of 1000 bps. How long does it take to send
vredina [299]

Answer:

0.01 second ; 0.008 seconds; 800 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

Sending rate = 1000 bps

Rate of 1000 bps means that data is sent at a rate of 1000 bits per second

Hence, to send out 10 bits

1000 bits = 1 second

10 bits = x

1000x = 10

x = 10 / 1000

x = 0.01 second

2.)

A single character 8 - bits

1000 bits = 1 second

8 bits = (8 / 1000) seconds

= 0.008 seconds

3.)

100,000 characters = (8 * 100,000) = 800,000

1000 bits = 1 second

800,000 bits = (800,000 / 1000)

= 800 seconds
