When Tim Berners-Lee developed the first specifications, protocols, and tools for the World Wide Web in 1993, his employers at C

ERN chose to make the underlying code publicly available on a royalty-free basis so that anyone who ever wanted to use it or build upon it could do so without having to pay any licensing fees to CERN or ask for CERN's permission.
Which of the following best describes the reasons for this decision?

a. CERN did not recognize the full potential of the World Wide Web and did not think it was worth investing any more of its own resources into its further development.
b. By offering the Word Wide Web as a freely available alternative, CERN hoped to discourage people from using America Online, CERN's biggest competitor for online communication services.
c. Had the technology been proprietary (i.e., closed and privately licensed), it would likely not have become as popular as it has or have been adopted by so many users and institutions across the globe.
d. Because Tim Berners-Lee did not ask his employers for permission before using CERN resources to develop the World Wide Web, as punishment, he was required to give the technology away for free and sacrifice the millions of dollars he could have personally made by selling his idea for a profit.

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

People trust open-source software - if they can see how it works and understand it, they can help improve it and build applications using it. If these protocols were not publicly available - then nobody would have implemented services using them - so nobody would be adopting it.

Constructors have the same name as the ____.1. data members2. member methods3. class4. package
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

(3) option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Constructors need to initialize the object in the memory. "To declare the Constructor for any class the user needs to specify the constructor name which is already the class name". This is an object-oriented language guideline.

It is because the object is created by the name of the class and Constructor is used to allocate the memory for the object. hence Constructor is created by the name of the class.

For example--

                       class test //class name test

                      {

                               test() //created a constructor with class name "test"

                               {

                               }

                      }

In the above example class name and constructor name are same if it not then it will gives a error.

Another option is not valid for the answer to the above problem because-

  • Option 1 is wrong because, for any class, the data member is a type of variable, which is used to store the data and is accessed with the help of an object.
  • Option 2 is wrong because, for any class, member function is a type of user function used to accessed the variable and expressions.
  • Option 4 is wrong because, package is a set used to hold classes and interfaces.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

if full_admission_price = f and discount_amount = d

=> Price of a discount admission = d/f

total_weight

quantity

weight of one item = total_weight/quantity                      

for i in range(80, 18, -2):

   print(i, end=' ')

Explanation:

The first two questions are just mathematical to get a single quantity given some relationship. So, its basically division

For the python code, I used the python's range function which takes in three arguments. The first one is the starting value, the second one is the terminating value which is the number before the terminating value and the last one specifies the common difference popularly known as step in the language. Since the step is 2, only even numbers are printed out. In the print function, I made use of the end keyword specifying a space (' ') as the end. This ensures that the print is done in the same line with a space seperating them. Without that specification, each result will printed in a newline
