Answer:

E) II and III only

<h2>Explanation of II</h2>

The chunk of code given in II uses an array a and a variable t which is called temporary variable and it holds the value of some other variable or an array element temporarily.

So the first line of the code int t=a[0] the temporary variable t holds the current value of the array a i.e the array element at first index of the array a[0] is copied to variable t.  This variable t is used to hold the original value of a[0] so that if the value of a[0] is overwritten later, it wont lose its original value.

a[0]=a[1] This line of code stores the value of a[1] in a[0]. This means that a[0] holds the array element at next index a[1] . This means the original value of a[0] is no longer the same because now it contains the value of a[1].  

The next line a[1]=t. This means that now a[1] holds the value which was stored in variable t. As the variable t was used to store the original value of a[0]. So that value is now stored in a[1].

Lets take an example: array a contains the two elements 1  at a[0] and 2 at a[1] position.

So according to the first statement

t=a[0] means that t holds value of array a at 0 index. We have 1 at 0th index of array so t=1

Next statement a[0]=a[1] means the value at a[1] is copied to a[0]

So at a[1] the value is 2. So this value 2 is stored in a[0] position in the array.

The last statement a[1]=t means now the value stored in t is copied to a[1]

As t stored the value of a[0] which was array element 1 so now this array element is copied to a[1]th position of the array. So a[1] holds 1 now.

This is how the elements 1 and 2 are swapped as now a[0] holds 2 and a[1] holds 1.

<h2>Explanation for III</h2>

Suppose that a[0]=1 and a[1]=2

The first statement a[ 0 ] = a[ 0 ] - a[ 1 ]; means that the value at a[0] is subtracted by the value at a[1]. That means 1-2 as 1 is the array element at a[0] and 2 is the array element at a[1] so 1-2=-1 This value is now stored at a[0] th position of array.  Now a[0]=-1 and a[1]=2

Next statement a[ 1 ] = a[ 0 ] + a[ 1 ];  means adding array element at a[0] and a[1] and the result of this addition is stored in a[1]. As a[0] is -1 and a[1] is 2 So a[0]+a[1]= -1+2=1 So a[1]=1 This means 1 will be placed at a[1] th position of array a. Now a[0]=-1 and a[1]=1

Note that a[1] now holds the value 1 which was the original value of a[0]  in start. This is because the first statement of code subtracts value a[1] from value of a[0] and then adds back value of a[1] to value of a[0] to keep the original value of a[0] safe for swapping just like in II the original value of a[0] is kept by temporary variable t.

The last line a[ 0 ] = a[ 1 ] - a[ 0 ]; means subtracting value at a[0] from value in a[1]. As we know that a[0]=-1 and a[1]=1 So a[0]=a[1]-a[0]=1+1=2 So a[0]=2.

Note that a[0] now holds the value 2 which was the original value of a[1]  in start. In the statement a[ 1 ] = a[ 0 ] + a[ 1 ] the value of a[0] is added to a[1] to get new value of a[1] and in statement a[ 0 ] = a[ 1 ] - a[ 0 ]; the value of a[0] is subtracted from that of a[1] in order to get previous original value of a[1]. So in the end a[0]=2 and a[1]=1 This is how the two value are swapped.

Explanation of I being false:

The line of code a[0] = a[1]; copies the value of a[1] to a[0]

This means the original value at a[0] is changed. This is called to overwrite the value. It is required to exchange values of elements in a[0] and a[1]. In order to swap two elements their original values should be retained but in this statement overwrites the original value in a[0]. So I is wrong.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The Internet began as a US Department of Defense network named Advanced Research Project Agency Network (ARPANET) funded by the Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA, later DARPA). In the 1970s, universities and other educational institutions began sharing this technology. The network grew as more and more users began sharing information.However, the information being shared on this network was very limited because of its government ties. The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. This move was followed by the commercialization of the Internet, which allowed it to carry business and personal traffic.

Help me understand why it does not loop correctly and how to make the converter a continious loop? What am I doing wrong and how
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The control loop responds to

the overcharged VOUT with a skipped pulse to

regulate VOUT to the correct DC voltage. Other

converters may respond differently when the

minimum on-time is violated. For example, the

fSW may begin to decrease or VOUT may become

regulated to a higher voltage

Explanation:

If you are trying to make a loop run a certain number of time in Python, then...

To repeat something a certain number of times, you may:

1. Use range or xrange for i in range(n): # do something here.

2. Use while i = 0 while i < n: # do something here i += 1.

3. If the loop variable i is irrelevant, you may use _ instead for _ in range(n): # do something here _ = 0 while _ < n # do something here _ += 1.
