Answer:
1GL: Machine language. Represented by a series of 1s and 0s.
2GL: Assembly language. An assembler converts 2GL into machine language.
3GL: High-level programming language. Uses a compiler to convert into machine language.
4GL: Specifically designed for creating database management programs.
5GL: Extremely advanced. Uses statements (scripts) rather than algorithms.
Explanation:
Programming languages started as a series of binary digits (i.e. 0's and 1'). This generation of language is referred to as the first generation.
However, the machine language were difficult to read by human, so mnemonics were created (i.e. assembly language). This language uses symbolic codes such as ADD for addition, etc. This is the second generation
The third generation are the high level languages that uses languages that can be easily understood by human, e.g. + means plus. However, the language must be translated; hence the need for a compiler or interpreter, as the case may be.
The fourth and fifth generations are extensions of the third generation languages. The fourth were created to connect to DBMS while the fifth are more advanced.
Answer:
Consider the following code.
Explanation:
save the following code in read_and_interp.m
function X = read_and_interp(s)
[m, n] = size(s);
X = zeros(m, 1);
for i = 1:m
if(str2num(s(i, 2:5)) == 9999)
% compute value based on previous and next entries in s array
% s(i, 2:5) retrieves columns 2-5 in ith row
X(i,1) = (str2num(s(i-1 ,2:5)) + str2num(s(i+1,2:5)))/2;
else
X(i,1) = str2num(s(i,2:5));
end
end
end
======================
Now you can use teh function as shown below
s = [ 'A' '0096' ; 'B' '0114' ; 'C' '9999' ; 'D' '0105' ; 'E' '0112' ];
read_and_interp(s)
output
ans =
96.000
114.000
109.500
105.000
112.000
Answer:
17%
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Cost price of liquor = $4000
Total sale = $24000
Unknown:
Percentage cost of sale for liquor = ?
Solution:
To find the percentage cost of sale;
%Cost of sale of liquor = 
x 100
Input the variables;
%Cost of sale of liquor = 
x 100 = 16.67% = 17%
Answer:
Code works perfectly
Explanation:
There is nothing wrong with your program as it runs perfectly and displays the expected results.
You may need to compile with another compiler if you're not getting the required results.
