Answer:
1.) 25 ; 15 ; 15
2.) 50 ; 15 ; 50
Explanation:
In the first function written :
The variable val was initially decaled or assigned a value of 25 and that was what was printed first.
However, after the example function was written, the val variable was finally assiagned a value of 15 within the function. However, it was also declared that the global variable takes uonthe val value. Hence, the val variable initially assigned a value, of 25 changes to 15 globally.
For the second code :
From the top:
Val was assigned a value of 50 ;
Hence,
print(val) gives an output of 50
Within the function definition which prints the value of val that is assigned a value of 25 within the function.
Since tbe global variable isnt reset.
Printing Val again outputs 50;since ito is outside the function.
Answer:
1. A high level algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Heat fry pan
- Cook one side of the hamburger
- Wait
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put cheese over hamburger
- Wait
- Cut hamburger bread in half
- Put cooked hamburger inside bread
- End (eat)
2. A detailed algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Place fry pan over the stove heater
- Turn on heater (max temp)
- IF fry pan not hot: wait, else continue
- Place raw hamburger on fry pan
- IF hamburger not half cooked: Wait X time then go to line 5, else continue
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put N slices of cheese over hamburger
- IF hamburger not fully cooked: Wait X time then go to line 8, else continue
- Turn off heater
- Cut hamburger bread in half horizontally
- Put cooked hamburger on one of the bread halves.
- Put second bread half on top of hamburger
- End (eat)
Explanation:
An algorithm is simply a list of steps to perform a defined action.
On 1, we described the most relevant steps to cook a simple cheeseburger.
Then on point 2, the same steps were taken and expanded with more detailed steps and conditions required to continue executing the following steps.
In computational terms, we used pseudo-code for the algorithm, since this is a list of actions not specific to any programming language.
Also we can say this is a structured programming example due to the sequential nature of the cooking process.
Answer: In operating system a code segment which accesses some shared variables or resources one at a time atomically such other no other code or process is accessing that resource or variable at the same time.
Entry section code block allows the access to the shared resource or variable and exit section code signals the termination from access to the shared resource or variable.
Explanation:
Entry and exit section codes needs to check certain properties before allowing the access and removal of access to a particular code segment.
These conditions are:
1. Bounded waiting.
2. Mutual exclusion.
3. checking thread execution status to allows other threads to enter the critical section (CS).
