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.

What will be displayed after the following code is executed? def pass_it(x, y): z = x*y result = get_result(z) return(result) de
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The output of the following code is "14".  

Explanation:

In the python program firstly we define a function that is  pass_it() function. In this function, we pass the two variable that is x,y. Then we define two variable z and result in the function. The z variable is used to store the multiplication value of the x,y. In the result variable, we use another function that is get_result() function in this function we pass the value of the z variable as a parameter. This function adds a value that is 2 and returns its value. Then we declare a variable that is num1 and num2. In this variable, we assign value that is 3 and 4 and return value of the pass_it() function in the answer variable and print it.

When the increment or decrement operator is placed before the operand (or to the operand's left), the operator is being used in
Salsk061 [2.6K]

When the increment or decrement operator is placed before the operand (or to the operand's left), the operator is being used in prefix mode. Postfix mode on the other hand is when the increment or decrement operator is placed after the operand (or to the oper and's right) .

Suppose that outFileis an ofstreamvariable and output is to be stored in the file outputData.out. Which of the following stateme
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Option b outFile.open("outputData.out");

Explanation:

In C++, there are several classes given to handle output and input of characters to or from files. They are:

  • ofstream that write on files
  • ifstream that read from files

We can use an object of ofstream to hold the contents that we wish to output to an external file. The general syntax is as follows:

           ofstream_obj.open(file_name)

This will create a file with a specific file name and it possesses all the contents from the obstream_obj.

How can i change ip address <br>​
JulijaS [17]

I believe your answer would be:

1: Open the command prompt window. Do this by clicking the "Start" button, and then selecting "Run." In the window that appears, type "cmd" into the text box and click the "OK" button.

2: Release the computer's current IP address. To do this, type "ipconfig /release" into the command prompt window and press Enter.

3: Acquire a new IP address. Do this by typing "ipconfig /renew" into the command prompt window and pressing Enter. This should assign the computer a new IP address, which will be different from the previous address.

4: Cycle your modem's power. If the above steps don't work, you can try renewing your IP address by cycling your modem's power. Turn off both your computer and your modem (and your router, if you have one). Wait at least 5 minutes, then turn everything back on. If your computer is set to receive an IP address dynamically (the most likely configuration), you should be assigned a new IP address automatically.

5: Check to make sure your IP address has changed. To do this, you can log on to a number of different websites that tell you your IP address.

Hope I helped, if so may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you, Have a good day! =)
