Write the definition of a function words_typed, that receives two parameters. The first is a person's typing speed in words per

minute (an integer greater than or equal to zero). The second is a time interval in seconds (an integer greater than zero). The function returns the number of words (an integer) that a person with that typing speed would type in that time interval.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

   //Method definition of words_typed

   //The return type is int

   //Takes two int parameters: typingSpeed and timeInterval

   public static int words_typed(int typingSpeed, int timeInterval) {

       //Get the number of words typed by  

       //finding the product of the typing speed and the time interval

       //and then dividing the result by 60 (since the typing speed is in "words

       // per minute"  and the time interval is in "seconds")

       int numberOfWords = typingSpeed * timeInterval / 60;

       

       //return the number of words

       return numberOfWords;

       

   }        //end of method declaration

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The code above has been written in Java and it contains comments explaining each of the lines of the code. Please go through the comments.

Answer:

I am writing the program in Python.

def words_typed(typing_speed,time_interval):

   typing_speed>=0

   time_interval>0

   no_of_words=int(typing_speed*(time_interval/60))

   return no_of_words

   

output=words_typed(20,30)

print(output)

Explanation:

I will explain the code line by line.

First the statement def words_typed(typing_speed,time_interval) is the definition of a function named words_typed which has two parameters typing_speed and time_interval.

typing_speed variable of integer type in words per minute.

time_interval variable of int type in seconds

The statements typing_speed>=0 and time_interval>0 means that value of typing_speed is greater than or equal to zero and value of time_interval is greater than zero as specified in the question.

The function words_typed is used to return the number of words that a  person with typing speed would type in that time interval. In order to compute the words_typed, the following formula is used:

   no_of_words=int(typing_speed*(time_interval/60))

The value of typing_speed is multiplied by value of time_interval in order to computer number of words and the result of the multiplication is stored in no_of_words. Here the time_interval is divided by 60 because the value of time_interval is in seconds while the value of typing_speed is in minutes. So to convert seconds into minutes the value of time_interval is divided by 60 because 1 minute = 60 seconds.

return no_of_words statement returns the number of words.

output=words_typed(20,30) statement calls the words_typed function and passed two values i.e 20 for typing_speed and 30 for time_interval.

print(output) statement displays the number of words a person with typing speed would type in that time interval, on the output screen.

Assume we are testing a variable is_sunny in a while loop. is_sunny = “n”.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

while(is_sunny=="n")

Explanation:

The loop keeps repeating itself until a certain condition is met.

Here while loop keeps executing until value of is_sunny is not equal to 'n'

When the value of is_sunny is not equal to n then the loop stops.

So lets explain this logic with a chunk of code:

#include <iostream> //to use input output functions

using namespace std; //to identify objects like cin cout

int main() {  //start of main function

  string is_sunny = "n"; //value of is_sunny is set to n

  cout<<"Enter value of is_sunny: "; // prompts user to enter value of is_sunny

  cin>>is_sunny; // reads value of is_sunny from user

  while(is_sunny=="n") // keeps iterating until value of is_sunny is not equal to n

  {   cout<<"keep executing until is_sunny is not equal to n"<<endl;//display this message with each iteration

      cout<<"Enter value of is_sunny: "; //keeps prompting to enter is_sunny

      cin>>is_sunny;   } } //keeps reading value of is_sunny from user

Now if the user keeps entering "n" as value of is_sunny then the loop keeps repeating. When the user enters any string other than n then the loop breaks. The output of the program is attached.

Write an if-else statement with multiple branches. If givenYear is 2100 or greater, print "Distant future" (without quotes). Els
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The program to this question in java can be given as

import java.util.Scanner;

//import package for take input from user.

public class Main //define class

{

public static void main(String[] args) // main function

{

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter a number:");

int givenYear=input.nextInt();

//if condition true output is "Distant future" (without quotes).

if (givenYear >= 2100)

{

System.out.print("Distant future");

}

// else if condition(2000-2099) true output is "21st century".

else if((givenYear >= 2000) && (givenYear <= 2099))

{

System.out.print( "21st century");

}

//else if condition (1900-1999) true output is "20th century".

else if((givenYear >= 1900) && (givenYear <= 1999)){

System.out.print( "20st century");

}

//else condition false output is "Long ago".

else{

System.out.print( "Long ago");

}

}

}

Explanation:

In this program we use the scanner class. Scanner class is used to take input from the user.When the user input the input the year. It hold on a variable(givenYear) that is integer type.Then we check the value between the ranges that is given in question.To check all the condition we use the if-elseif-else statement, and AND(&&) operator.AND operator is a logical operator that is used for compare two values together. The output of the program can be given as:

Output:

Enter a number: 2016

21st century
