Answer:

C. ATA Secure Erase

D. Smash the USB drive

Explanation:

Zero fill utility is a specialized way of formatting a storage device particularly secondary storage such as hard disk, flash drive e.t.c. In this process, the disk contents are overwritten with zeros. Once this has been done, undoing is essentially hard but possible. In most cases, this might just mean that the data content is corrupt and as such might still be recovered, maybe not in its pure entirety.

Formatting the drive on another hand does not essentially mean cleaning the drive and wiping off data. It just means that operating systems cannot see those data contents anymore. They are still present in the drive and can be recovered.

ATA Secure Erase is actually a way of completely and permanently erasing the content in a drive. Once the function has been done, undoing is not possible. Both the data content and even the data management table will be completely gone.

Smashing the USB drive is the surest way of cleaning data as that will permanently destroy the working components of the drive such as the memory chip. And once that happens then there's no drive let alone its contents.

Write a program using Python that prompts for an integer and prints the integer, but if something other than an integer is input
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

#program in Python

#read until user Enter an integer

while True:

   #try block to check integer

   try:

       #read input from user

       inp = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

       #print input

       print("The integer is: ",inp)

       break

   #if input is not integer

   except ValueError:

       #print message

       print("Wrong: try again.")

Explanation:

In try block, read input from user.If the input is not integer the print a message  in except block.Read the input until user enter an integer. When user enter an  integer then print the integer and break the loop.

Output:

Enter an integer: acs                                                                                                      

Wrong: try again.                                                                                                          

Enter an integer: 4a                                                                                                      

Wrong: try again.                                                                                                          

Enter an integer: 2.2                                                                                                      

Wrong: try again.                                                                                                          

Enter an integer: 12                                                                                                      

The integer is:  12

import java.util.Scanner;  

public class Program {  

   public static boolean isPalindrome(String str){

       int start = 0, end = str.length()-1;

       while (start < end){

           if(str.charAt(start) != str.charAt(end)){

               return false;

           }

           start++;

           end--;

       }

       return true;

   }  

   public static int countPalindromePairs(String[] inarr){

       int count = 0;

       for(int i=0; i<inarr.length; i++){

           for(int j=i+1; j<inarr.length; j++){

               StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

               sb.append(inarr[i]).append(inarr[j]);

               if(isPalindrome(sb.toString())){

                   count++;

               }

           }

       }

       return count == 0 ? -1 : count;

   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

       String line = sc.next();

       String[] inarr = line.split(",");

       int count = countPalindromePairs(inarr);

       System.out.println("RESULT: "+count);

Define function print_popcorn_time() with parameter bag_ounces. If bag_ounces is less than 3, print "Too small". If greater than
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

public static void print_popcorn_time(int bag_ounces){

       if(bag_ounces<3){

           System.out.println("Too Small");

       }

       else if(bag_ounces>10){

           System.out.println("Too Large");

       }

       else{

           bag_ounces*=6;

           System.out.println(bag_ounces+" seconds");

       }

   }

Explanation:

Using Java prograamming Language.

The Method (function) print_popcorn_time is defined to accept a single parameter of type int

Using if...else if ....else statements it prints the expected output given in the question

A complete java program calling the method is given below

public class num6 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       int bagOunces = 7;

       print_popcorn_time(bagOunces);

   }

   public static void print_popcorn_time(int bag_ounces){

       if(bag_ounces<3){

           System.out.println("Too Small");

       }

       else if(bag_ounces>10){

           System.out.println("Too Large");

       }

       else{

           bag_ounces*=6;

           System.out.println(bag_ounces+" seconds");

       }

   }

}
