Software is a program which runs on a physical computer. All the pieces of the physical computer, including the keyboard, mouse, monitor, CPU, motherboard, and hard drive, are considered the hardware.

What is the relationship between interoperability and the other quality attributes highlighted in this book? For example, if two
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Interoperability is the ability of or degree to which two or more systems usefully exchange information via interfaces in particular context. Interoperability can be defined in two ways which includes the ability to exchange data (syntactic interoperability) and also the ability to correctly interpret the data being exchanged (semantic interoperability).

If two systems failed to exchange information properly, it means they are not clear to interpret and not easy to communicate and get proper information from each other and that might result in a failed communication which is in turn result in security flaw.

Other quality attributes strongly related (at least potentially) to interoperability is Application Programming Interface (API)

API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate to each other and are necessary for systems interoperability.

Write a short program using Python that will:
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

// program in Python to check perfect number

#function to find number is perfect or not

def is_Perfect_Number(n):

   #total variable

   tot = 1

   i = 2

   #sum of all divisor of number

   while i*i<=n:

       if n%i==0:

           tot = tot + i + n/i

       if tot == n and n != 1:

           return 1

       i = i+1  

   return 0

#read until user enter a perfect number

while True:

   #read integer

   num = int(input("Input an integer: "))

   #call the function

   if(is_Perfect_Number(num)):

       print(num,"is perfect number")

       #if perfect number break

       break

   else:

       print(num,"is not a perfect number")

       #ask again

   print("try again.")

Explanation:

Read number from user and then call the function is_Perfect_Number() with  parameter "num".This will find the sum of all divisor of number.If sum is  equal to number then it will return 1 else return 0.If the number is not  perfect then it will again ask to enter a number until user enter a perfect  number.

Output:

Input an integer: 24

24 is not a perfect number                                                                                                

try again.                                                                                                                

Input an integer: 28                                                                                                      

28 is perfect number

"Write an iterative function iterPower(base, exp) that calculates the exponential baseexp by simply using successive multiplicat
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

I am writing the function using Python. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.            

def iterPower(base, exp):    

    baseexp = 1

    while exp > 0:

        baseexp = baseexp*base

        exp= exp - 1

    return baseexp

base = 3

exp = 2

print(iterPower(base, exp))

Explanation:

  • The function name is iterPower which takes two parameters base and exp. base variable here is the number which is being multiplied and this number is multiplied exponential times which is specified in exp variable.
  • baseexp is a variable that stores the result and then returns the result of successive multiplication.
  • while loop body keeps executing until the value of exp is greater than 0. So it will keep doing successive multiplication of the base, exp times until value of exp becomes 0.
  • The baseexp keeps storing the multiplication of the base and exp keeps decrements by 1 at each iteration until it becomes 0 which will break the loop and the result of successive multiplication stored in baseexp will be displayed in the output.
  • Here we gave the value of 3 to base and 2 to exp and then print(iterPower(base, exp)) statement calls the iterPower function which calculates the exponential of these given values.
  • Lets see how each iteration works:
  • 1st iteration

baseexp = 1

exp>0 True because exp=2 which is greater than 0

baseexp = baseexp*base

               = 1*3 = 3

So baseexp = 3

exp = exp - 1

      = 2 - 1 = 1    

exp = 1

  • 2nd iteration

baseexp = 3

exp>0 True because exp=1 which is greater than 0

baseexp = baseexp*base

               = 3*3 = 9

So baseexp = 9

exp = exp - 1

      = 1-1 = 0    

exp = 0

  • Here the loop will break now when it reaches third iteration because value of exp is 0 and the loop condition evaluates to false now.
  • return baseexp statement will return the value stored in baseexp which is 9
  • So the output of the above program is 9.

Which command suppresses the visibility of a particular row or column in a worksheet?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Hide command suppresses the visibility of a particular row or column in a worksheet

Explanation:

Hide command is used to hide the row or column in an excel worksheet. To suppress the visibility of a particular row or column in a worksheet, you have to select that particular row or column and then right-click on column or row header. A popup screen will appear as like when you refresh the computer. Then on this screen, at the bottom, you will find the hide command, click the hide command. And, as you click the hide command that particular row or column will become invisible. if you want to show it again, click the Unhide command. Therefore, hide command suppresses the visibility of a particular row or column.

Why other options are not correct

Autofit

Autofit command is used when you want that a particular cell of row or column to automatically adjust / or accommodate the content. Autofit command does not affect the visibility of a row or column.

Insert

Insert command is used to insert contents in a particular worksheet. Insert command is based on groups of various commands such as inserting tables, charts, graphs, text, symbols, add-ins, sparklines, and links.

Replace

Replace command is used in excel to replace the text with some other text. If you want to replace some text with some other text, then you have to use the replace command.
