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.

erastovalidia [21]

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.

Which of the following is true of how packets are sent through the internet?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It is A: Packet metadata is used to route and reassemble information travelling  through the internet.

Explanation:

Step 1: The Internet works by chopping data into chunks called packets. Each packet then moves through the network in a series of hops. Each packet hops to a local Internet service provider (ISP), a company that offers access to the network -- usually for a fee

Step 2: Entering the network

Each packet hops to a local Internet service provider (ISP), a company that offers access to the network -- usually for a fee.

Step 3: Taking flight

The next hop delivers the packet to a long-haul provider, one of the airlines of cyberspace that quickly carrying data across the world.

Step 4: BGP

These providers use the Border Gateway Protocol to find a route across the many individual networks that together form the Internet.

Step 5: Finding a route

This journey often takes several more hops, which are plotted out one by one as the data packet moves across the Internet.

Step 6: Bad information

For the system to work properly, the BGP information shared among routers cannot contain lies or errors that might cause a packet to go off track – or get lost altogether.

Last step: Arrival

The final hop takes a packet to the recipient, which reassembles all of the packets into a coherent message. A separate message goes back through the network confirming successful delivery.
