Answer:

C. Modem

Explanation:

According to my research on information technology, I can say that based on the information provided within the question you must connect your computer to a Modem in order to provide your computer with an internet connection. A modem is a hardware device that converts data into a format that can be transmitted from computer to computer which is basically what the internet is

How each programming language differs in terms of constructs, techniques, use and requirements?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Programming languages are (designed to be) easily used by machines, but not people.

Natural languages (like English) are easily used by humans, but not machines.

Programming languages are unambiguous, while natural languages are often multiply ambiguous and require interpretation in context to be fully understood (also why it’s so hard to get machines to understand them). Natural languages are also creative and allow poetry, metaphor and other interpretations. Programming does allow some variation in style, but the meaning is not flexible.

Lojban (Wikipedia) is an artificial language designed to try to bridge the gap between these two types of languages. It is specifically unambiguous yet something that a human can pronounce and even speak meaningfully. It can be considered a somewhat successful experiment yet limited in functionality in some ways in both domains (and not a real substitute for a normal programming language, but perhaps useful as an interface).

Natural languages consist of sentences, usually declarative sentences expressing information in a sequence. Programming languages typically are not declarative but procedural, giving instructions to the machine to do something (like commands in natural languages). Rarely, programming languages are declarative, such as Prolog, where statements are given to the computer, then the evaluation consists of finding possible solutions that match those statements (generate a list of words based on possible combinations of letters as defined just by letter-combining rules, for example).

The vocabulary of natural languages is filled with conceptual terms. The vocabulary of programming languages is generally only ‘grammatical’/functional ‘words’ like basic comments, plus various custom-named things like variables and functions. There are no words like you’d look up in a dictionary to express something like ‘love’ or ‘happy’ or ‘sing’.

The grammatical structures vary in more ways than are easy to list here. But some of the most obvious factors are that words don’t have separable parts in programming languages (like English cat-s to form a plural) [=no morphology], and that via brackets, line breaks or other markers, embedding tends to be overtly and clearly marked on both sides for the parser in programming languages, whereas spoken languages usually only have one word (like “that”) linking embedded sentences, and sometimes no word at all. This is another reason that parsing human languages is so hard on a computer.

You could also look at Hockett’s design features and see which apply to programming languages: What is the difference between human and animal language?

In a very general sense, programming languages aren’t used for bidirectional communication and may not properly be considered “languages” in the same sense as natural languages. Just looking at Hockett’s features, they’re completely distinct in being written only, do not involve interchangeability between the speaker and hearer, do not have ‘duality of patterning’ meaning multiple layers of structure as sounds vs. phrases (phonology vs. syntax), and are not transmitted culturally (well, maybe). It’s just very hard to even try to make the comparison.

Most fundamentally, it is worth asking if programming languages even have meaning, or if they are just instructions. This is similar to the Chinese room thought experiment— given a book of instructions for how to translate Chinese, but without actually understanding it, would a human (or computer) with that book be considered to “know” Chinese? Probably not. A computer doesn’t “know” anything, it just does what the instructions tell it to. Therefore, programming languages have no semantics/meaning. They just are instructions, which translate into electronic signals, nothing more.

Create a function that will perform linear interpolation from a set of measured data stored in a list or array. The function sho
wel

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Python

a) You should create a function that will perform linear interpolation from a set of measured data. The function should take as input a list of values at which samples were taken, and then another list giving the measurements (you can assume each measurement is a single value) at those values. It should also take in a query value, and should give the best estimate it can of the value at that query. Be sure to handle values that are outside of the range, by extrapolating. You should write a program that allows you to test your function by reading the lists from a file where each line of the file is a pair of numbers separated by spaces: the value where the sample was taken, and the measurement at that value. Your program should ask the user for the name of the file and for a query value. Important: The two lists will correspond to each other: i.e. for the i-th value in the first list, the measurement will be the i-th element of the second list (these are called parallel lists or arrays). But, you should not assume that the input values are in increasing/decreasing order. That is, the values in the first list can be in any random ordering, not necessarily from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. You will have to account for this in your program, and there is more than one way to do so. You should discuss what options you can think of to handle the data arriving in any order like that, and decide what you think the best option for handling it is.

Explanation:

from __future__ import division

from cStringIO import StringIO

import numpy as np

from scipy.interpolate import RectBivariateSpline

np.set_printoptions( 1, threshold=100, edgeitems=10, suppress=True )

   # a file inline, for testing --

myfile = StringIO( """

# T P1 P2 P3 P4

0,   80,100,150,200

75, 400,405,415,430

100, 450,456,467,483

150, 500,507,519,536

200, 550,558,571,589

""" )

   # file -> numpy array --

   # (all rows must have the same number of columns)

TPU = np.loadtxt( myfile, delimiter="," )

P = TPU[0,1:] # top row

T = TPU[ 1:,0] # left col

U = TPU[1:,1:] # 4 x 4, 400 .. 589

print "T:", T

print "P:", P

print "U:", U

interpolator = RectBivariateSpline( T, P, U, kx=1, ky=1 ) # 1 bilinear, 3 spline

   # try some t, p --

for t, p in (

   (75, 80),

   (75, 200),

   (87.5, 90),

   (200, 80),

   (200, 90),

   ):

   u = interpolator( t, p )

   print "t %5.1f p %5.1f -> u %5.1f" % (t, p, u)

Atheel tests a program and gets a NameError. How can this be fixed?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

You can't call a function unless you've already defined it. Move the def createDirs(): block up to the top of your file, below the imports.

Explanation:

Some languages allow you to use functions before defining them. For example, javascript calls this "hoisting". But Python is not one of those languages.
