If a database is not maintained or if incorrect data is entered into the database, serious problems can occur. What problems cou

ld occur if a student database is not maintained?

Archy [21]3 years ago

Database is maintained by keeping only relevant data and updating existing data in a timely manner.

This is achieved by issuing proper insert, update and delete operations.

Incorrect data leads to incomplete information. Databases which hold transaction details, any inaccuracies lead to misinformation to its users.

Both the above lead to serious issues in data maintenance and prove the database ineffective. This indicates manhandling of the database.

No maintenance

Database is maintained when only relevant information is present. Irrelevant information includes information like information of past students, old information of current students, etc.

For students who have completed their courses and left, the database should be updated by removing data of such students.

Also, for newly enrolled students, their enrolment should reflect in the official records.

In case of changes in any of the student information, timely update operations should be performed to keep only current data in the database.

All these operations should be done timely in order to avoid any discrepancies in the real data and updated data in the system.

Incorrect data

In situations where incorrect data is input in the student database, incorrect data will be recorded for that particular student. Incorrect data can be related to ssn, name, address, course details and fees payment.

In case of incorrect transaction details like fees payment, this incorrect data will reflect in the student record as well as will affect the overall earnings of the school.

For enrolled students, correct enrollment details regarding the course and classroom should be recorded. Any error in this data will cause the student inconvenience and the respective student will be at loss.

Also, taking advantage of this situation, any outsider acting as an enrolled student, can gain access to the school.

This leads to mismatch of information and can lead to fraud situations against the educational institute.

Input 3 positive integers from the terminal, determine if tlrey are valid sides of a triangle. If the sides do form a valid tria
butalik [34]

Answer:

In Python:

side1 = float(input("Side 1: "))

side2 = float(input("Side 2: "))

side3 = float(input("Side 3: "))

if side1>0 and side2>0 and side3>0:

   if side1+side2>=side3 and side2+side3>=side1 and side3+side1>=side2:

       if side1 == side2 == side3:

           print("Equilateral Triangle")

       elif side1 == side2 or side1 == side3 or side2 == side3:

           print("Isosceles Triangle")

       else:

           print("Scalene Triangle")

   else:

       print("Invalid Triangle")

else:

   print("Invalid Triangle")

Explanation:

The next three lines get the input of the sides of the triangle

<em>side1 = float(input("Side 1: ")) </em>

<em>side2 = float(input("Side 2: ")) </em>

<em>side3 = float(input("Side 3: ")) </em>

If all sides are positive

if side1>0 and side2>0 and side3>0:

Check if the sides are valid using the following condition

   if side1+side2>=side3 and side2+side3>=side1 and side3+side1>=side2:

Check if the triangle is equilateral

<em>        if side1 == side2 == side3: </em>

<em>            print("Equilateral Triangle") </em>

Check if the triangle is isosceles

<em>        elif side1 == side2 or side1 == side3 or side2 == side3: </em>

<em>            print("Isosceles Triangle") </em>

Otherwise, it is scalene

<em>        else: </em>

<em>            print("Scalene Triangle") </em>

Print invalid, if the sides do not make a valid triangle

<em>    else: </em>

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

Print invalid, if the any of the sides are negative

<em>else: </em>

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

Implement a function inValues() that asks the user to input a set of nonzero floating-point values. When the user enters a value
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following is written in Python and uses exception handling to do exactly as requested. It then goes adding all of the integer values to an array called num_list and finally adding them all together when the function ends.

def in_values():

   num_list = []

   while True:

       try:

           num = input("Input non-zero floating point: ")

           num = int(num)

           if num == 0:

               break

           else:

               num_list.append(num)

       except ValueError:

           print("No valid integer! Please try again ...")

           try:

               num = input("Input non-zero floating point: ")

               num = int(num)

               break

           except ValueError:

               break

   sum = 0

   for number in num_list:

       sum += number

   return sum

What is used to give credit to the source from which information is obtained?
Sati [7]
The Answer is (A) because a citation gives credit to the sources from which your information was obtained. Linkage has nothing to do with it... Plagiarism is the exact opposite of that.... And a format is just a way something is in order or arranged.
