Answer:

Desktop computer is probably single-voltage

Explanation:

The problem is most likely as a result of voltage difference. He have to get a dual-voltage switch that can accept both 110-120V and 220-240V. As the voltage of the the United States will most likely be different from the voltage in his home country.  Or get a power adapter (single voltage) that suits the voltage of the US.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

A. Right to avoid criticism

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of

I. Trademarks.

II. Patents.

III. Copyright.

Copyright law can be defined as a set of formal rules granted by a government to protect an intellectual property by giving the owner an exclusive right to use while preventing any unauthorized access, use or duplication by others.

Hence, the right that is not guaranteed by copyright laws is the right to avoid criticism because as an author or writer your literary work is subject to criticism from the readers and by extension the general public.

If my_string = "This is MY string!", why does print (my_string[0:7:5]) return "Ti" and not
notka56 [123]

In Python, a string is an array of characters, we can access these characters using index operator []. For example, we have a_string = "Hello World" a_string[0] prints the first character in string ('H').

We can also use index operator to make substrings, for example a_string[0:3] will make a substring with first, second, third and fourth character equal to "Hell".

Now to business

my_string = "This is MY string!"

print(my_string[0:7]) # Prints "This is "

print(my_string[0:7:5]) # Prints "T" then prints the sixth character since we start counting at 0 hence prints "Ti" (note that space is also a character).

Hope this helps.
