Answer:

<u>because the conclusion is not in agreement with the two premises.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, the term<u> syllogism</u> refers to the form of reasoning that draws its conclusion based on the stated premises. In other words, a conclusion is reached if it satisfies <em>all or part </em>of the premises.

In this case, the statement "No computer is made of clay" and  "All computers are electronic devices" should be inferred to mean, <em><u>No </u></em><em>electronic devices are made of clay" </em>not<em> </em><em>"Some electronic devices are not made of clay," </em>since the two premises neither suggest that electronic devices are made from clay.

5.14 Describe how the compare and swap() instruction can be used to provide mutual exclusion that satisfies the bounded-waiting
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Compare and Swap(C&S) is simply an atomic operation whereby the compare and swap operations are automatically executed.

Now compare and Swap basically needs 3 arguments namely:

- 2 old values which we will label X and Y

- 1 new value which is written in X that we will call Z

Thus, we now have; C & S = {X, Y, Z}

To explain this well, let X be a variable where X has a value of 7.

Now, if a programmer gives a program me that X be multiplied by 2,then what C&S operation will do is;

I) Y = X where Y is a new variable.

II) Result = C&S(X, Y, X*7)

Variable X is global and this means that mere than one process and more than 1 thread can see the variable X.

Now, if a process named P1 wants multiply the variable X by 7 using C&S operation, it will first make a local copy of variable X (which in this case is now the new variable Y). After that it will atomically compare X & Y and if they are equal, it will replace X with 10X.

However, if they are not equal, P1 will re-read value of X into Y and carry of C&S instruction again.

String fileName;

System.out.print("Enter input filename: ");

fileName = kb.nextLine();

File file = new File(fileName);

if(!file.exists())

}

int[] numbers = inputData(file);

printArray(numbers);

}

public static int[] inputData(File file) throws IOException

{

Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);

int index = 1;

int size = inputFile.nextInt();

int[] values = new int[size];

while(inputFile.hasNextInt() && index < values.length)

{

values[index] = inputFile.nextInt();

index++;

}

inputFile.close();

return values;

}

public static void printArray(int[] array)

{

int count = 1;

for (int ndx = 1; ndx < array.length; ndx++)

{

System.out.printf("%5.f\n", array[ndx]);

count++;

}

if(count == 10)

System.out.println("");

}
