Answer:

The answer is System Software.

Explanation:

The Device Driver is considered as a system software. It's like a middle person who communicates to your hardware (computer parts) and your computer's operating system. Without device drivers, your computer parts (like monitor, sound cards, hard drives etc.) cannot function well or will become useless at all.

To have a further understanding and proof that the device driver is a system software, let's have a deeper explanation on it. Let's say, for an instance, you have plugged in a wired mouse to your laptop or desktop computer. A specific device driver will be search and installed. An object will be created inside your operating system which will be recognized to control the device exclusively. When you press Ctrl key and P key --- which is commonly the shortcut to print a document. The command you have typed will automatically recognized by the printer driver, which will trigger printing of documents.

Application software on the other hand, are type of software which only functions inside the operating system to execute a specific task. For example, you want to create a letter, you can do that using a word processor, which is a type of application software. Another, you want to create a simple payroll computation by creating formulas and mathematical operations. Excel or spreadsheets file can cater that need. Listed below are other types of application software:

Slideshow / Presentation software - Powerpoint
Video Player - VLC or Windows Media Player

if(a > b):
return a
else:
return b
num1 = int(input("Please input the first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Please input the second number: "))
print(max(num1, num2))

Explanation:

Firstly create a function max that accepts two input, a and b, as required by question (Line 1). In the function, create if statement to check if a greater than b return a and vice versa (Line 2 -5).

In the main program (Line 7 - 10), prompt user to input two numbers (Line 7 - 8). At last call the function by passing num1 and num2 as arguments and print the result (Line 10).

Write a loop that reads positive integers from standard input and that terminates when it reads an integer that is not positive.

puteri [66]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class num4 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

int sumOdds =0;

int sumEvens =0;

int num;

do{

System.out.println("Enter positive integers");

num = in.nextInt();

if(num%2==0){

sumEvens+=num;

}

else if (num%2!=0){

sumOdds+=num;

}

}while (num>0);

System.out.println("The sum of evens: "+sumEvens);

System.out.println("The sum of odds: "+sumOdds);

}

Explanation:

Import Scanner class to prompt and receive user input
Declare the following variables and initialize them int sumOdds =0, int sumEvens =0, int num;
Create a do....while loop That continously prompts user to enter a positive number. The loop should terminate when a negative number is enters (n<=0)
Within the while loop use an if condition with the modulo (%) operator to determine even and odd numbers and add to the respective variables
Outside of the while loop Print sum of odds and sum of evens
