Although much of the public debate is against it, there are pros associated with allowing cell phones in school. These advantages should not be ignored since cell phones in schools can actually add value to the educational experience, rather than simply be a detriment to it.

Instant Communication

Although you hope that you will never have to do this, you sometimes need to get in contact with your school-aged child while they are in class. This could be because of a death in the family, an accident or other family emergency that may require his or her attention or attendance.

Potential Dangers of Cell Phone Towers

By being able to call your child directly, you also help alleviate the workload of the school's administrative team. Phones are also particularly useful during recess and lunch hours when students aren't in class and may be difficult to find. The problems with knowing where your children are after school could also be reduced if parents had the ability to call them and vice versa. Text messages can make communicating easy and discreet.

Learning Aid

Students who have a smartphone can use various applications designed for students to assist in learning. Many of these smartphones have programs that are similar to what is found on a laptop or desktop computer. Being able to look up facts quickly on the internet is possible on many phones.

If a student needs assistance with classwork and does not have access to a computer, a smartphone can be used in a snap. In fact, the National Education Association reports that cell phones can often be cost effective for schools that cannot afford to purchase technology for all students.

Memory Aids

Studies show that cell phones can be beneficial to students when reviewing and studying for exams or tests. Most cell phones have a camera these days, so children can use these to take pictures in class. This is great for science class, for example, where they may be exposed to certain creatures, plants and other things that they probably won't encounter anywhere else. This is much more effective that simply producing a quick sketch.

Pictures can also be useful to photograph an assignment, a whiteboard or a step-by-step process, so that they can later review the photos to better understand the procedure in metalwork, woodwork or other hands-on courses.

Calendar

Nearly every mobile phone has a built-in calendar function and this can be very useful for kids who have a hard time remembering test dates, assignment due dates and other such details where time is of the essence. By putting these in a cell phone organizer and assigning an alarm, they'll never forget again! After all, paper-based agendas and notebooks can be easily lost, forgotten, overlooked or scribbled over.

Voice Notes

The voice recording feature of cell phones can be beneficial to students who would like a quick way to keep track of what they need to do. After all, students may not always have immediate access to a notepad, so using a cell phone to "jot down" important information can be helpful. There are numerous voice memo apps that can be useful for both teachers and students in a classroom.

GPS Tracking

GPS tracking can be a benefit of cell phones to parents who want to be able to keep tabs on their children's whereabouts. Use GPS to track a cell phone can provide peace of mind to concerned parents and teachers if a student is reported missing or has gone somewhere of concern. GPS tracking can also inform parents that their children have arrived to and from school safely.

Store Emergency Contact Information

Important phone numbers can be easily stored in cell phones. For students, this can be important in case they become sick while at school or are in an emergency situation. Their cell phone can contain important numbers such as their parent's work, doctor's office, dentist, and who to call in case of an emergency, as well as numbers of close family members and friends.

Classroom Collaboration

Cell phones can assist in providing a modern alternative to standard teaching and can encourage student participation. For example, the website platform Poll Everywhere permits teachers to create poll questions to which students can respond via their cell phones. Students can also use cell phones to collaborate with each other and also to connect with children in other schools or geographic areas. They can also connect students to specialists in specific subjects for assistance or advice.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The entire program is:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

  int main() {          

  int userInt;

  double userDouble;

  char userChar;

  string userString;  

  cout<<"Enter integer:"<<endl;

  cin>>userInt;  

  cout<<"Enter double:"<<endl;

  cin>>userDouble;  

  cout<<"Enter character:"<<endl;

  cin>>userChar;  

  cout<<"Enter string:"<<endl;

  cin>>userString;    

 cout<<userInt<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userString<<endl;

 cout<<endl;  

   cout<<userInt<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userString<<endl<<userString<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userInt<<endl;  

cout<<endl;

cout<<userInt<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userString<<endl<<userString<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userInt<<endl<<userDouble<<" cast to an integer is "<<(int)userDouble;  

  return 0;  }

The program in C language:

#include <stdio.h>  

int main() {

  int userInt;  

  double userDouble;  

  char userChar;  

  char userString[50];

  printf("Enter integer: \n");  

  scanf("%d", &userInt);

  printf("Enter double: \n");  

  scanf("%lf", &userDouble);

  printf("Enter character: \n");  

  scanf(" %c", &userChar);  

  printf("Enter string: \n");  

  scanf("%s", userString);  

  printf("%d %lf %c %s\n", userInt, userDouble, userChar, userString);

  printf("\n");

  printf("%d %lf %c %s\n%s %c %lf %d \n", userInt, userDouble, userChar, userString, userString, userChar, userDouble, userInt);

  printf("\n");

  printf("%d %lf %c %s\n%s %c %lf %d\n%lf cast to an integer is %d \n", userInt, userDouble, userChar, userString, userString, userChar, userDouble, userInt, userDouble, (int)userDouble);  }

Explanation:

Lets do the program step by step:

1)  Prompt the user to input an integer, a double, a character, and a string, storing each into separate variables. Then, output those four values on a single line separated by a space:

Solution:

The program is:

#include <iostream>  //to use input output functions

using namespace std;  //to identify objects cin cout

  int main() {  //start of main method

  //declare an integer, a double, a character and a string variable  

  int userInt;  //int type variable to store integer

  double userDouble;  //double type variable to store double precision floating point number

  char userChar;  //char type variable to store character

  string userString;  //string type variable to store a string

  cout<<"Enter integer:"<<endl;  //prompts user to enter an integer

  cin>>userInt;  //reads the input integer and store it to userInt variable

  cout<<"Enter double:"<<endl;  //prompts user to enter a double type value

  cin>>userDouble;  //reads the input double value and store it to userDouble variable

  cout<<"Enter character:"<<endl;  //prompts user to enter a character

 cin>>userChar; //reads the input character and store it to userChar variable

  cout<<"Enter string:"<<endl;  //prompts user to enter a string

  cin>>userString; //reads the input string and store it to userString variable

   

cout<<userInt<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userString<<endl; //output the values on a single line separated by space

So the output of the entire program is:

Enter integer:                                                                                                                                99                                                                                                                                            Enter double:                                                                                                                                 3.77                                                                                                                                          Enter character:                                                                                                                              z                                                                                                                                             Enter string:                                                                                                                                 Howdy                                                                                                                                         99 3.77 z Howdy

(2) Extend to also output in reverse.

Now the above code remains the same but add this output (cout) statement at the end:

  cout<<userString<<" "<<userChar<<" "<<userDouble<<" "<<userInt;

Now the output with the same values given as input is:

Enter integer:                                                                                                                                  99                                                                                                                                              Enter double:                                                                                                                                   3.77                                                                                                                                            Enter character:                                                                                                                                z                                                                                                                                               Enter string:                                                                                                                                   Howdy  

99 3.77 z Howdy                                                                                                                                     Howdy z 3.77 99

(3) Extend to cast the double to an integer, and output that integer.

The rest of the code remains the same but add the following output (cout) statement in the end:

cout<<userDouble<<" cast to an integer is "<<(int)userDouble;

Now the output with the same values given as input is:

Enter integer:                                                                                                                                  99                                                                                                                                              Enter double:                                                                                                                                   3.77                                                                                                                                            Enter character:                                                                                                                                z                                                                                                                                               Enter string:                                                                                                                                   Howdy                                                                                                                                           99 3.77 z Howdy                                                                                                                                 Howdy z 3.77 99                                                                                                                                 3.77 cast to an integer is 3

Reptile [31]

Complete Question:

The main disadvantage of using this device is its negative impact on network performance, resulting from the fact that any incoming signal on any of its ports is re-created and sent out on any connected ports.

Group of answer choices

a. Router

b. Switch

c. Bridge

d. Hub

Answer:

d. Hub.

Explanation:

A hub can be defined as a layer one (physical) device used for connecting various network devices such as switches and routers in a local area network (LAN). It comprises of many ports which are used for connecting segments of a local area network (LAN). Hubs are generally considered to be unintelligent because when frames are received at a port, it is then copied to every other connected port on the network.

<em>Hence, the main disadvantage of using a hub is its negative impact on network performance, resulting from the fact that any incoming signal on any of its ports is re-created and sent out on any connected ports.</em>
