</span>
The first programmable computer was the Z1, created between 1936 and 1938. <span>It was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability.

The first electric programmable computer was the Collosus in 1943, created to help read encrypted German messages by British code breakers. 

The first digital computer used for digital computation such as binary math and boolean logic, was the </span><span>Atanasoff-Berry Computer in 1937.

The first stored program computer was the EDSAC which work started ib in 1946, but only ran it's first programs in 1949. ran the first graphical computer game as well! The Manchester Mark 1 which the other poster mentioned was created around the same time (work began </span><span>1948) </span>and could also run stored programs, but the EDSAC was the first.

A teacher has five students who have taken four tests. The teacher uses the following grading scale to assign a letter grade to
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

const int numofStudents = 5;//number of students

const int numofTests = 2;//number of tests taken by students

const int grade = 5;//number of grades available

char letter[grade] = { 'A','B','C','D','F' };

double table[numofStudents][numofTests];//defining 2darray with names and scores

string names[numofStudents];//storing names of students

for (int num = 0; num < numofStudents; num++)//storing names and scores of students

{

 cout << "Enter student's name: ";

 cin >> names[num];

 for (int test = 0; test < numofTests; test++)//scores loop

 {

  cout << "Enter the test score: ";

  cin >> table[num][test];

  if (table[num][test] < 0 || table[num][test]>100)//input validation

  {

   cout << "Invalid input. Try again" << endl;

   cin >> table[num][test];//input again

  }

 }

}

for (int i = 0;i < numofStudents;i++)//calculating averages and grades

{

 int sum = 0;

 cout << "Test scores for " << names[i] << ": " << endl;

 for (int j = 0;j < numofTests;j++)

 {

  cout << table[i][j] << " ";

  sum += table[i][j];//summing scores

 }

 cout << endl;

 float average = (float)sum / numofTests;//calculating the average

 cout << "Making an average of: "<< average;

 if (average <= 100 && average >= 90)//assigning a grade

 {

  cout << " and has received an " << letter[0];

 }

 else if (average <= 89 && average >= 80)

 {

  cout << " and has received a " << letter[1];

 }

 else if (average <= 79 && average >= 70)

 {

  cout << " and has received a " << letter[2];

 }

 else if (average <= 69 && average >= 60)

 {

  cout << " and has received a " << letter[3];

 }

 else if (average <= 59 && average >= 0)

 {

  cout << " and has received an " << letter[4];

 }

 else

 {

  cout << "Invalid scores entered." << endl;

 }

 cout << endl;

}

 return 0;

}

Explanation:

We first define the number of students, number of tests and number of grades available for assignments. We then fill in the 2D array of students names and their scores making sure assigning more than 100 and less than 0 is not allowed. We then sum the scores and retrieve an average. Using the average, a letter grade is assigned to that individual.

In step 4 of the CSMA/CA protocol, a station that successfully transmits a frame begins the CSMA/CA protocol for a second frame
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

There could be a collision if a hidden node problem occurs.

Explanation:

CSMA/CA(carrier sense multiple access/ collision avoidance) is a multiple access method in wireless networking, that allows multiple node to transmit. Collision avoidance of this method is based on preventing signal loss or downtime as a result of collision of transmitting multi signals.

If a node at step 4(transmit frame) sends the first frame, the node still needs to send a RTS(request to send) and to receive a Clear to send (CTS) from the WAP, the is to mitigate the issue of hidden node problem as all frame are treated as unit, so other listening nodes, not detected would seek to connect and transmit as well.
