Suppose that a disk drive has 2,000 cylinders numbered 0 to 1999. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 142, and

the previous request was at cylinder 125. The queue of pending requests in FIFO order is:
86, 1470, 913, 1774, 948, 1509, 1022, 1750, 130.

Starting from the current head position, what is the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests for the following disk scheduling algorithm Scan

Answer:

7080

Explanation:

Let totaldistanceincylinders (total seek distance)=x=0

Its  

     142-86=56                  x=56

      1470-86=1384                      x= 56+ 1384=1440

      1470-913= 557             x= 1440+557= 1997

      1774-913=861                    x= 1997+ 861=2858

      1774-948= 826              x=2858+826=3684

      1509-948=561             x=3684+561=4245

      1509-1022=    487        x=4245+487=4732

      1750-1022=728          x=4732+728=5460

      1750-130=1620          x=5460+1620=7080

       hence, total distance in cylinders = 7080

This is the total seek distance.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Point A: Always True

Point B: Sometimes false

Point C: Always False

Explanation:

In the given code snippet. Point A is the first statement within the While loop the statement System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); will only be executed if the while condition evaluates to true.

At Point B, The statement count++ increases the value of the counter at every iteration, while it will be true for most occasions, at the last increament, this statement will be false that is at count=100, The condition will be false at this point just before program execution breaks out of the loop

Point C is outside of the loop, this happens when the given condition is no longer true.
