Answer:

Explanation:

A computer virus is a form of malicious software that piggybacks onto legitimate application code in order to spread and reproduce itself.

Like other types of malware, a virus is deployed by attackers to damage or take control of a computer. Its name comes from the method by which it infects its targets. A biological virus like HIV or the flu cannot reproduce on its own; it needs to hijack a cell to do that work for it, wreaking havoc on the infected organism in the process. Similarly, a computer virus isn't itself a standalone program. It's a code snippet that inserts itself into some other application. When that application runs, it executes the virus code, with results that range from the irritating to the disastrous.

Computer virus symptoms

How can you tell if a virus has slipped past your defenses? With some exceptions, like ransomware, viruses are not keen to alert you that they've compromised your computer. Just as a biological virus wants to keep its host alive so it can continue to use it as a vehicle to reproduce and spread, so too does a computer virus attempt to do its damage in the background while your computer still limps along. But there are ways to tell that you've been infected. Norton has a good list; symptoms include:

Unusually slow performance

Frequent crashes

Unknown or unfamiliar programs that start up when you turn on your computer

Mass emails being sent from your email account

Changes to your homepage or passwords

The readline method reads text until an end of line symbol is encountered, how is an end of line character represented
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

\n

Explanation:

readline() method is used to read one line from a file. It returns that line from the file.    

This line from the file is returned as a string. This string contains a \n at the end which is called a new line character.

So the readline method reads text until an end of line symbol is encountered, and this end of line character is represented by \n.

For example if the file "abc.txt" contains the lines:

Welcome to abc file.

This file is for demonstrating how read line works.

Consider the following code:

f = open("abc.txt", "r")  #opens the file in read mode

print(f.readline()) # read one line from file and displays it

The output is:

Welcome to abc file.    

The readline() method reads one line and the print method displays that line.

Elena-2011 [213]

Im going to guess the 2nd one.

The 1st one just shows how trees can make ____ and then goes to water, the sun, then the rain but it CAN be used as one.

The 2nd one seems to explain the best it can show about weather, water, landforms, the sun, and seems like a better one to choose.
