Answer: D. Turing conceived the structure of a programmable computer.

Explanation: The passage describes how Alan M. Turing described the theoretical aspect of a programmable computer. There is no reference to a physical machine or Turing working on an actual (physical) computer.

The Turing machine, although it does sound like a physical computer was an abstract idea, conceived in mathematical form of what a programmable machine would be like. Alan Turing is considered one of the founding fathers of theoretical computer science.

Roger wants to give semantic meaning to the contact information, which is at the bottom of the web page. To do this he will use
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Parent

Explanation:

HTML is an acronym for hypertext markup language and it is a standard programming language which is used for designing, developing and creating web pages.

Generally, all HTML documents are divided into two (2) main parts; body and head. The head contains information such as version of HTML, title of a page, metadata, link to custom favicons and CSS etc. The body of a HTML document contains the contents or informations that a web page displays.

In this scenario, Roger wants to give semantic meaning (an element conveying informations about the type of content contained within an opening and closing tag) to a contact information placed at the bottom of a webpage. Thus, in order to do this, he should use a footer element as a parent of the contact information and as such all instance variables that have been used or declared in the footer class (superclass) would be present in its contact information (subclass object).

Write the definitions for three function named max. Each receives two parameters, of the same type, and returns the larger of th
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The method definition to this question can be given as:

Method definition:

double max(double x, double y)  //define method with double parameter  

{

if (x>=y)    //check condition.

return x;  //return value

else

return y;     //return value

}

double max(int x, int y)    //define method with integer parameter

{

if (x>=y)    //check condition

return x;    //return value

else

return y;  //return value

}

double max(char x, char y)   //define method with char parameter

{

if (x>=y)    //check condition

return x;    //return value

else

return y;    //return value

}

Explanation:

The above method definition can be described as below:

  • In the first method definition first, we define a method that is "max()". In this method we pass two variables as a parameter that is "x and y" and the datatype of this is double. Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.  
  • In the second method definition, we define a method that is same as the first method name but in this method, we pass two integer variable that is "x and y". Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.
  • In the third method definition, we define a method that is same as the first and second method name but in this method, we pass two char variable that is "x and y". Then we use a conditional statement. In the if block we check if variable x is greater then equal to y then it will return x else it will return y.

explain why the database system would not allow a tuple to be inserted into the database through this view
Andrej [43]
For the view of Exercise 4.18, explain why the database system would not allow a tuple to be inserted into the database through this view.
For reference
For the database of Figure 4.12, write a query to find the ID of each employee with no manager. Note that an employee may simply have no manager listed or may have a null manager. Write your query using an outer join and then write it again using no outer join at all.
OUTER JOIN
select e.ID from employee e left outer join manages m on e.ID = m.ID
where m.manager_id is null;
NO OUTER
select e.ID from employee e where e.ID not in (select m.ID from manages m) or e.ID in (select m.ID from manages m where m.manager_id is null);

Which of the following statements is false? A.The concepts of icons, menus and windows were originally developed by Xerox PARC.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

(b) Windows is an open source operating system (<em>This is not correct</em>)

Explanation:

Option a is <em>correct</em> because Xerox PARC(Palo Alto Research Center), which is a subsidiary of the Xerox corporation, has been greatly responsible for invention and development in modern computing devices. Some of these developments are in Ethernet and graphical user interface (making use of menus, icons e.t.c).

Option b is <em>not correct</em> because Windows Operating system is not an open source operating system. Open source OS means users can interact with the driving code of the OS and make modifications. Windows does not support this feature. Operating systems that are open source include Linux and OpenSolaris.

Option c is <em>correct</em>. An operating system has two main components - the kernel and the user interface. The core component of an operating system is the Kernel as it interacts directly with the hardware and manages system resources. The user interface on the other hand allows users to interact with the kernel of the operating system using texts and/or graphics as commands.

Option d is <em>correct</em>. Linux operating system is an open source OS. Therefore, the source code is made available to the public for examination and modification.
