Answer:

Blocking Mode    

Explanation:

Spanning Tree Protocol is used to allow path redundancy in the network without creating cycles/circles also called loops.

When two parts of the switched network are connected via two or more Layer 2 switches this result in a loop.

This affects the performance of the network as the result of broadcast packets flooding.

STP puts one port of the switch to forwarding mode and the rest of the ports within the same part of the network to the blocking mode to avoid broadcast packet flooding. STP puts all the ports that are allowing redundant paths to blocking mode and the one port that is left after this is placed in forward mode.

Spanning Tree Algorithm is used by STP to determine the optimal path  of switch to the network.

Bridge Protocol Data Units are used to share the information about the optimal path determined by the spanning tree algorithm with other switches.

This information helps STP to eliminate the redundant paths.

So this is how STP allows only one active path to the destination while blocking all other paths to avoid switching loop.

Write the function definition for a function called list_total that accepts a list of integers
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

   return sum_of_numbers

Explanation:

So, to define a function, the syntax is simply:

def functionName(arguments here):

   # code

So to define a function called "list_total" which accepts a list of integers, you write:

"

def list_total(numbers):
   # code

"

any the "numbers" is a parameter, and it's just like any variable, so you can name it anything besides keywords. I just named it "numbers" since it makes sense in this context, you could also write "integers" instead and it would be just as valid, and may be a bit more specific in this case.

Anyways from here, the initial sum should be equal to 0, and from there we add each number in the list to that initial sum. This can be done by initializing a variable to the value "0" and then traversing the list using a for loop. This can be done as such:

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       # code

"

So for each element or integer in the list "numbers" the for lop will run, and the variable "number" will contain the value of the current element it's on.

So we can add the "number" to the sum_of_numbers as such:

sum_of_numbers = sum_of_numbers + number

but there is a shorter way to do this, and it's represented as:

sum_of_numbers += sum_of_numbers

which will do the same exact thing. In fact this works for any mathematical operation for example:

a *= 3

is the same thing as

a = a * 3

and

a /= 3

is the same thing as

a = a / 3

It's the same thing, but it's a much shorter and more readable notation.

Anyways, this code will go in the for loop to almost finish the code

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

"

The last thing is to return this value, and this is simply done by using the syntax:

"return {value here}"

and since the sum_of_numbers has the value, we write

"return sum_of_numbers"

at the end of the function, which is very very important, because when you use the return keyword, you end the function, and return whatever value is next to the return to the function call

So to finish the code we just add this last piece to get:

"

def list_total(numbers):

   sum_of_numbers = 0

   for number in numbers:

       sum_of_numbers += number

   return sum_of_numbers

"
