Answer:

Router        

Explanation:

  • A router is a network device that forwards data packets between networks. Its a network layer hardware device. For example a DSL router that connects to the Internet through an internet service provider.
  • Router is connects at least 2 networks (can be two LANs) and the ISP.
  • Router is used to transfer data from one network to another if both networks use same protocols.
  • It receives data in packets form and forwards the data to another router using a routing table. These data packets can be sent between devices or from devices to the internet.
  • The routing table is used to choose the optimal path for forwarding the packets between the source and destination hosts. Routing table configure the best route a packet can take to reach its destination using routing protocols. A Routing Protocol defines how routers connect with each other and share information that makes them choose routes on a computer network between source and destination. Routing tables can be configured statically (routes are fed manually) or dynamically (routes are updated based on information obtained  from other routers).
  • Router makes sure that the data packets reach right destination instead of being lost within the network and it also strengthen signals before transmitting them.
  • Routers reduce broadcast traffic. They form boundaries between broadcast domains and separate a network into multiple broadcast domains.
  • Router do not broadcast traffic and eliminates the packet when it detects a broadcast address. Routers also stop broadcast messages and don't route a broadcast message between broadcast domains.

Write a method swaparrayends() that swaps the first and last elements of its array parameter. ex: sortarray = {10, 20, 30, 40} b
Alexus [3.1K]
In the C programming language, you can't determine the array size from the parameter, so you have to pass it in as an extra parameter. The solution could be:

#include <stdio.h>

void swaparrayends(int arr[], int nrElements)
{
int temp = arr[0];
arr[0] = arr[nrElements - 1];
arr[nrElements - 1] = temp;
}


void main()
{
int i;
int myArray[] = { 1,2,3,4,5 };
int nrElements = sizeof(myArray) / sizeof(myArray[0]);
swaparrayends(myArray, nrElements);

for (i = 0; i < nrElements; i++)
{
printf("%d ", myArray[i]);
}

getchar();
}

In higher languages like C# it becomes much simpler:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int[] myArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
            swaparrayends(myArray);
            foreach (var el in myArray)
            {
                Console.Write(el + " ");
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        static void swaparrayends(int[] arr)
        {
            int temp = arr[0];
            arr[0] = arr.Last();
            arr[arr.Length - 1] = temp;
        }

Use the STL class vector to write a C function that returns true if there are two elements of the vector for which their product
Tema [17]

Answer:

Code is provided in the attachment form

Explanation:

Vector Multiplication code:

Vector_multiplication.c file contains C code.

See attachment no 1 attached below

Classification of Algorithm: For creating elements in vector c of size n, number of scalar  multiplications is equal to n. The size of original two vectors scales directly with the number of  operations. Hence, it is classified as O(n).
