Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section

Explanation:

The correct answer to this question is: it used a more English-like syntax.

The software developer use high-level language to develop or author the program because it is more likely to English syntax and it would be easy for a software developer to author a program easily instead of using low level language and remembering ones and zeros.

Other options are not correct because:

It can be used on computers without microprocessors: Each computer has a microprocessor either you develop a program using high-level or low-level languages. Changes and modifications are easy in high-level language than in low-level languages. so, the option that prevents anyone from making changes to the software later is wrong. However, high-level languages are less complicated in learning and in authoring the programs but it does not use zeros and ones, it uses English-like syntax. So, the last option is also wrong.

We informally define the term corresponding element as follows: The first element in an array and the last element of the array

yanalaym [24]

The corresponding element in an array can be written as follows.

The given array is arr[len] whose size is given by integer variable len. We take another integer variable k.

Corresponding element for arr[k] = arr[len-1-k]

This applies for all expressions of k beginning from 0 upto half the size of len, i.e., len/2.

For element, arr[0], the corresponding element is arr[10-1-0] = arr[9].

The above expression is valid if the sum of index of both element and its corresponding element adds upto the index of the last element of the array.

Example: k + (len – 1 - k)

= k + len – 1 - k

= len – 1

= index of the last element of the array

The number of elements that an array can hold is one more than the index of the last element of the array.

Suppose an array of 10 elements is given. The above expression holds true since first element of the array is always written as arr[0] and last element will be written as arr[9] for an array of 10 elements.

This is illustrated below.

The c++ program to display the element and its corresponding element along with their index is shown below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int len=10, arr[len],k;

for(k=0; k<len; k++)

{

// elements are initialized to twice their index

arr[k] = k*2;

}

cout<<"Element "<<" Index "<<"\t"<<" Corresponding "<<" Index"<<endl;

for(k=0; k<len/2; k++)

{

cout<<arr[k]<<"\t"<<"\t"<<"\t"<<k<<"\t"<<"\t"<<"\t"<<arr[len-1-k]<<"\t"<<"\t"<<len-1-k<<endl;

}

OUTPUT

Element Index Corresponding Index

0 0 18 9

2 1 16 8

4 2 14 7

6 3 12 6

8 4 10 5

The above program initializes all the elements of the array to twice the value of their corresponding index. Following this, the element, its index, the corresponding element and its index is displayed.

All the above is achieved using for loop. The size of the array and its elements can be changed.

The expression for the corresponding element is thus explained.

Edhesive unit 2 lesson 5 coding activity 1 Write code which creates three regular polygons with 11, 14 and 19 sides respectively

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

public class Polygon {

private String name;

private int sides;

private double sideLength;

public Polygon(String name, int sides, double sideLength) {

if (sideLength <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Length cannot be zero or negative.");

if (sides <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Sides cannot be zero or negative.");

this.name = name;

this.sides = sides;

this.sideLength = sideLength;

}

public String getName() {

return name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

}

public double getSideLength() {

return sideLength;

}

public void setSideLength(double sideLength) {

if (sideLength <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Length cannot be zero or negative.");

this.sideLength = sideLength;

}

public int getSides() {

return sides;

}

public void setSides(int sides) {

this.sides = sides;

}

(use the at sign here)Override

public String toString() {

return "regular " + name + " with side length " + String.format("%.1f", sideLength);

}

public class TestPolygon {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Polygon sides11 = new Polygon("hendecagon", 11, 1);

Polygon sides14 = new Polygon("tetrakaidecagon", 14, 1);

Polygon sides19 = new Polygon("enneadecagon", 19, 1);

System. out. println(sides11);

System. out. println(sides14);

System. out. println(sides19);

}

Explanation:

This java source code defines a class that creates a regular polygon based on the number of sides given to it.

Below is a screenshot of the program code and output.
