Answer:

c, d and e.

Explanation:

An algorithm is a step by step procedure

in solving a particular problem. An algorithm is finite - it has a beginning and an end.

With the options provided;

* option a is not an algorithm, though it describes the tool to solving a problem, it does not specify the steps involved in solving the problem.

* option b is also not an algorithm because it only shows a list of favorite animals and that is solving no problem.

* option c is also an algorithm. An algorithm solves a problem by providing steps to solving it. A problem statement describes the problem, and the steps on how to solve the problem.

* option d is an algorithm. Setting up the new DVD player is the problem. Steps for setting it up are shown in the instructions. Therefore, since a problem will be solved by following those instructions, that option is an algorithm.

* option e is also an algorithm. Moving a lighting bot around to turn on the lights is the problem. How this is solved are shown in the series of steps. This makes option e and algorithm.

Answer:

A. The mathematical formula for finding the area of a circle.

D. Instructions for setting up a new DVD player

E. A series of steps that moves a "lighting bot" around to turns on lights.

Explanation:

Algorithm is a systematic procedure (or process) that produces the answer to a question or the solution of a problem in a finite number of steps.

Option A is an algorithm. The mathematical formula for finding the area of a circle gives a solution to a problem. The problem is finding area of a circle and the formula gives the step by step procedure finding the area of a circle.

Option B is not an algorithm. Option B just provide a list of your favourite animals and it doesn't answer a question we know about.

Option C is not an algorithm. A problem statement is still a problem with no solution whereas algorithm provides solution

Option D is an algorithm. It provides the step by step procedures for setting up a new DVD player

Option E is an algorithm. It provides a series of steps that moves a lighting bot around to turns on lights, so it provides a solution.

OleMash [197]

When an important file is saved on two different computers, the name of the file that is housed on the second computer is 'back up'. Back up refers to the process of copying and archiving a particular computer data in order to have an extra copy to fall back on in the event of data loss. <span />

Define a lambda function that accepts one argument (a list of strings) and returns a list of only the words that start with an '

Grace [21]

Answer:

def Lambda(strList):
return list(filter(lambda s: (s.startswith("e")), strList))
print(Lambda(["meaning", "cart", "engine", "egg"]))

Explanation:

The solution code is written in Python 3.

Lambda function is an anonymous function. It is a function without any name and it is started with keyword lambda. To write a lambda function to filter the string started with an 'e', we can write a lambda expression, s.startswith("e") that work on one input strList. If any word from strList started with letter "e", the word will be added into a list generated by filter function. At the end, the Lambda function will return the list of strings as output.

When we test the Lambda function using the sample string list (Line 4), we shall get ['engine', 'egg'] printed to terminal.
