Answer:
1. A high level algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Heat fry pan
- Cook one side of the hamburger
- Wait
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put cheese over hamburger
- Wait
- Cut hamburger bread in half
- Put cooked hamburger inside bread
- End (eat)
2. A detailed algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Place fry pan over the stove heater
- Turn on heater (max temp)
- IF fry pan not hot: wait, else continue
- Place raw hamburger on fry pan
- IF hamburger not half cooked: Wait X time then go to line 5, else continue
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put N slices of cheese over hamburger
- IF hamburger not fully cooked: Wait X time then go to line 8, else continue
- Turn off heater
- Cut hamburger bread in half horizontally
- Put cooked hamburger on one of the bread halves.
- Put second bread half on top of hamburger
- End (eat)
Explanation:
An algorithm is simply a list of steps to perform a defined action.
On 1, we described the most relevant steps to cook a simple cheeseburger.
Then on point 2, the same steps were taken and expanded with more detailed steps and conditions required to continue executing the following steps.
In computational terms, we used pseudo-code for the algorithm, since this is a list of actions not specific to any programming language.
Also we can say this is a structured programming example due to the sequential nature of the cooking process.
Answer: Analyze the organization's strategic plan
Explanation:
The initial step in the information system is to first analyze the strategic plan of the organization so that we can easily identify the main objective and challenge.
It is basically archived by enlisting the particular objective and function in the planning of information system in the organization.
All the remining option are involve in the remaining step of the information system planning not in the initial step.
Therefore, analyze the organization's strategic plan is correct as it is the first step of the information system planning.
Answer:
d. Flash
Explanation:
A flash memory can be defined as an electronic non-volatile memory chip (storage medium) that is typically used on computer systems and other digital devices such as routers, USB flash drives, switches, digital cameras, mp3 players etc. A flash memory is an electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) and as such data saved (written) on it can be erased electronically. Also, a flash memory do not require a source of power (electricity) to save or retain data through the use of a floating gate MOSFET (FGMOS) or floating gate transistor.
In this scenario, you are designing an internet router that will need to save it's settings between reboots. The type of memory that should be used to save these settings is a flash memory because it does not require power to write or save data.
If this is in reference to diamond mining then above ground would be panning while below ground would be the actual mining into the soil.
