Write and test a Python program to find and print the smallest number in a set of integer numbers. The program should read input

numbers until it reads a negative number. The negative number serves as a sentinel or marker telling the program when to stop reading numbers. The smallest of all numbers input as well as how many numbers were read (not considering the sentinel number) should be printed.

Answer:

numbers = []

count = 0

while True:

   number = int(input("Enter a number: "))

   if number < 0:

       break

   else:

       numbers.append(number)

       count += 1

min_number = min(numbers)  

print(str(min_number) + " was the smallest among " + str(count) + " entered numbers.")

Explanation:

Initialize an empty array, to hold the entered numbers, and count as 0

Create a while loop that iterates until a specific condition is met

Inside the loop, ask the user to enter the numbers. When the user enters a negative number terminate the loop. Otherwise, add the entered number to the numbers array and increment the count by 1.

When the loop is done, find the smallest of the number in the numbers array using min method and assign it to the min_number.

Print the min_number and count

Write a program that asks the user to enter the amount s/he has budgeted for a month. The amount should be between 1000 and 2000
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The program to this question can be given as:

Program:

  //import package for user input.

import java.util.*;      

//define class

public class Budget                      

{

public static void main(String [] a)            //define main method.

{

//creating Scanner class object.

Scanner ob =new Scanner(System.in);    

//define variable.      

double budgetamount=0, amountspent=0 ,difference=0,total=0,num=0 ;        

int count = 0;                            

System.out.println("How much have you budgeted for the month? :");        //print message.

budgetamount=ob.nextDouble();                             //taking input

       while(budgetamount != 0)           //checkig number greater then 4 digite.

       {

           budgetamount= budgetamount/10;        

           ++count;

       }

       if(count>4)                 //condition

       {

       System.out.println("enter each expense, then type -999 to quit: ");

       while(num!=-999)               //taking expense  

       {

       total=total+num;                 //totaling expense

       num=scan.nextDouble();                  

       }

       if(total<=budgetamount)           //condtion for over budget.

       {

       System.out.print("under budget:");         //print message

       System.out.print(budgetamount-total);

       }

       else

       {

       System.out.print("over budget:");              //for under budget

       System.out.print(total-budgetamount);

       }

       }

       else

       {

       System.out.println("not valid");        //message for number lessthen 4 digit.    

       }                                      

}

}

output:

How much have you budgeted for the month? : 1200.55.

enter each expense, then type -999 to quit: 365.89

556.90

339.98

-999

over budget:1262.77

Explanation:

The explanation of this program can be given as:

In the above program we import the package in that is used for scanner class. This class is used for the input from the user after input we use the while loop and if-else statement. The while loop is the entry control loop It is used for input validation and if-else is used for the checking condition. Then we insert expense that is inserted by the user. Then we calculate under-budgeted and over-budgeted by conditional statement that is if-else. and at the last we print it.

Which type of memory helps in reading as well as writing data?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The read-write type of memory helps in reading as well as writing data. This computer memory is used by users to continually update the data (to access (read from) or alter (write to) ) that is held on hardware storage devices. Internal or external hard disk drives, rewritable CDs or small flash drives can be all physical setups of read-write memory.

"Switches break up _______________ domains and routers break up _____________ domains."
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Switches break up collision domains and routers break up broadcast domains.

Explanation:

  • Collision domain depicts the part within a network where a collision can happen.
  • Collision occurs when two hosts transmit data packet at the same time within a network. Theses packets collide and the hosts have to resend the data after some time.
  • Too many collisions can result in slow traffic speed and can effect network performance.
  • So switches break up collision domains between the devices on a network and each port in a switch depicts a collision domain. This reduces the chance of packet collisions between the devices or hosts.
  • When data is to be sent to a host, the switch keeps that data frame and waits for availability of the destination host before sending the data frame.
  • Moreover full duplex switch mode there is not chance of collision as the transmitting path on one host is the receiving path on other host.
  • Broadcast domain contains all the hosts that can reach each other at the Data Link layer via broadcast.
  • Routers break up broadcast domains as routers contain separate broadcast domains for each interface.
  • Routers do not forward broadcasts from one broadcast domain to other and drop the packet when they detect a broadcast address.
