Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

An algorithm is the list of a finite set of instructions and rules that a computer needs to do to complete a task in order to solve a problem.

In short, an algorithm is a series of instructions that are implemented step by step to solve a problem. For example, you could consider a pizza recipe an algorithm for making a pizza in an everyday life routine. But when you are talking about using algorithms in computation and in mathematics. It means that solving a problem using a series of steps step by step.

For example, your everyday tasks aligned on a google calendar and remind you about your tasks using the alarm, etc- how to implement this using set of instructions and rules- is an algorithm.

Solving a quadratic equation is another example of an algorithm.

Binary search, array sorting are an example of an algorithm in computation. Because these algorithms based on the execution of step-by-step instruction to solve a problem such as sorting a list of numbers etc.

write a single expression that will return true if the lower four bits of x are the same as the lower four bits of y
horrorfan [7]

A single expression that will return true if the lower four bits of x are the same as the lower four bits of y is; (x & 0x0F) == (y & 0x0F)

<h3>How do you write single expression programs?</h3>

There are different methods of writing programs such as python and others. However, in this case, it is pertinent to know that this compiler that will return true if the lower four bits of x are the same as the lower four bits of y doesn't accept binary constants and as such we will use hexidecimal instead. For example; for 0b00111111, we will use 0x3F.]

Thus, using that same concept above, the single expression that will return true if the lower four bits of x are the same as the lower four bits of y is; (x & 0x0F) == (y & 0x0F)

Array elements are differentiated because each has a unique: O A) Range O B) Data Type o c) Index O D) Value
Hoochie [10]

Answer

The correct answer is option(C) which is "Index".

Explanation:

Array elements can be differentiated because each element in the array have different index value.In the array all elements are of same data type, so we can not differentiated them on the basis of data type. Also an array can have same value many times, That is why we can not differentiated them on this basis. In the array elements are from any range, so its not possible to distinguish them on range. We can only distinguish elements of an array on their index value because each element have different index in the array.
