Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

SATA drives do not have jumpers, because they don't use the master/slave feature. They are connected to the motherboard, and they are ready to work.

The master/slave feature was used by IDE hard drives.15 years ago, most motherboards didn't have too many IDE slots to place more than 1 or 2 HDDs, the IDE cable allowed you to connect 2 drives to 1 cable, greatly increasing your computer's storage space.

It was recommended to set as master the drive connected directly to the motherboard, and the other one as slave.

Define a method calcPyramidVolume with double data type parameters baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight, that returns as a d
Rudik [331]

Answer:

import java.io.*;

public class Main {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

       double baseLength = 0, baseWidth = 0, pyramidHeight = 0;

       Object[] volume;

       volume = calcPyramidVolume(baseLength, baseWidth, pyramidHeight);

   }

   public static Object[] calcPyramidVolume(double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {

       double area = calcBaseArea(baseLength, baseWidth);

       double volume = baseLength * baseWidth * pyramidHeight;

       return new Object[]{volume, area};

   }

   public static double calcBaseArea(double length, double width) {

       return length * width;

   }

}

Explanation:

The problem is flawed because it is completely inefficient for one to create two separate methods to calculate the volume and the area when they can be done at once.

The second problem is that it was never specified whether to return something from the calcBaseArea method.

I assumed it required it, so it is not advisable to initiate the method as a double, but rather create it as an Object so that it can return two values: the volume and the area.

maria [59]

Answer:

/*C++ program that prompts user to enter the name of input file(input.txt in this example) and print the sum of the values in the file to console. If file dosnot exist, then close the program */

//header files

#include <fstream>

#include<string>

#include <iostream>

#include <cstdlib> //needed for exit function

using namespace std;

//function prototype

int fileSum(string filename);

int main()

{

string filename;

cout << "Enter the name of the input file: ";

cin >> filename;

cout << "Sum: " << fileSum(filename) << endl;

system("pause");

return 0;

}

/*The function fileSum that takes the string filename and

count the sum of the values and returns the sum of the values*/

int fileSum(string filename)

{

//Create a ifstream object

ifstream fin;

//Open a file

fin.open(filename);

//Initialize sum to zero

int sum=0;

//Check if file exist

if(!fin)

{

cout<<"File does not exist ."<<endl;

system("pause");

exit(1);

}

else

{

int value;

//read file until end of file exist

while(fin>>value)

{

sum+=value;

}

}

return sum;

}//end of the fileSum

Explanation:

This is a C++ program that prompts user to enter the name of input file(input.txt in this example) and print the sum of the values in the file to console. If file dosnot exist, then close the program.
